THE ADAMSON ACT.

,tIr ,;rro,d attorney, assure MS that the AdanSon
,igbthour day act adopted by congress last week as
an emergency measure to avert general paralysis ct
business Is unconstitutional and therefore certain To tau

II is true that the Adarson act which not only ''-

also provides for wage standards fixed at this time

M, that does not necessarily mean that it is invalid

congress; likewise a lot Of other legislation affecting
safety appliances and working conditions But congrc'
has so far managed cudc the numerous legal pitfalls
which their vivid imagnauons managed to conuc "?
Possibly the Adamson act will meet a like fate
The trouble with these stckcrs for established stand

rear They have yet TO take their first look forward 1t
Is vet to occur to them that living in an age OF
progress When established standards become obsolete
and scvicccss VIC arc dccct of duty il fail to kick
