Val Fitzpatrick Gives His
Views on Fagan Controversy


Fagan on. the eight-hqer. law, Val
Fitzpatrick, vice-president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
says:
II do not find myself in accord with
anything that Mr.. James o. Pagan
has said upon the subject of the new
eight-hour law for railroad trainmen
in his recent dispatch. for the reason
that 1t is not within Mr.. Fagan's
province to interpret or construe an
act of Congress; also there is further
reason-it is apparent to many that
the views of Mr.. Pagan upon social
questions are warped and inimical to
the working people.
That various constructions and
applications will be placed on the act
by the railroads and the employees
there is no doubt; this Is likewise
true about every, other act of Con-
gress, and, therefore, until the act to
establish an eight-hour work day has
passed through the judicial mill, and
its meaning, purport and intentions
are announced by the United States
Supreme Court, no one will know just
how the law will apply in every par
ticular.
"In the finality it is the exclusive
right of the United States Supreme
Court to interpret acts of Congress-;
therefore, Mr.. Pagan is assuming
something that is not his right when
he attempts to tell the railroads and
the railroad employees Just how the
act shall be interpreted and applied"
