The Federal government forces
sprung surprise in Kansas City when
they urged haste in the injunction pro-
ceedings against the eight-hour law
brought by the receivers of the Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad be-
fore Judge w. G.. Hook, circuit Judge
Of the United States for the Eighth
circuit. In Kansas City it was under
stood that this would be the test case
on which the law will get before the
Supreme Court
The interest of the government and
the railroads in getting a quick de-
cision from the Supreme Court was
shown by a conference at the depart
| ment Of justice, in Washington, in
which the participants were Attorney
General Gregory, Solicitor General
Davis and representative of the New
York Central, the Pennsylvania and
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroads.
In declaring the eight-hour law in
valid, the court made it plain that the
decision was not made after mature
deliberation, but as a means of elini-
mating delay in getting the case be-
fore the Supreme Court.

Mr.. Thorn referred to the recent case
In which the New York Central which
has not over 20 miles of lines in H.

Of Illinois as a condition of the con-
sent Of that state to the issue of GER
states Of New York, Ohio, Indiana and
the others through which the road
runs could not with as much reason
exercise the same right
IF they did, he continued, "com-
merce as a whole would be most oner-
ously burdened. If they did not then
their own commerce may help to bear
the burden of this tax placed upon the
road by the state Of Illinois, contrary
to their views Of the justice Of such

So, 100000 Of convertible bonds. The
state of Rhode Island and Connecticut
gave their approval, but the approval
Of Massachusetts could not be OBJ

failed and the consequent inability of
the road to furnish the proposed new
facilities In the way Of new equipment

sponstble for the great congestion of
