most effective weapon in our contro-
versy with Great Britain over her un-
warranted, outrageous and indefensi-
BILE blacklist of American merchants.
AS foodstuffs are needed abroad, an
embargo would be more effective than
weary months OF diplomatic negotia-
tons which end In the continuance of
the indefensible practice against our
rights.
1.-THE embargo also should be i'm.
posed for purely domestic reasons.
The prices of foodstuffs have reached
levels that are bringing widespread
distress in this country. Many hun

suffering from the lack of necessities

I commodities are less abroad today
than they were a year ago. Here the

be done to interfere with our foreign
trade does not impress me

w ashington, Nov. 22.-The German
embassy, basing its views upon an
knowledge of conditions in the dual
monarchy is certain that the death OF
Emperor Francis Joseph and the as
cension Of Charles Francis Joseph

ity Of almost energetic character. The
dead monarch, by reason Of his age

on various fronts where the Austro-

zeal viewpoint the death Of the Aus

ADAMsON LAW
HELD INVALID
By FEDERAL
COURT
Unconstitutional Rules
Judge w. G. Hook of
Kansas City
HELPS HASTEN
FINAL DECISION

10y Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov.
22.-The Adamson eight-hour
law was held unconstitutional
here today by Judge William
G. Hook in United States dist
riot court.
Judge Hook directed the re-
ceivers of the Missouri, Okla
homa and Gulf railroad, which
brought the original action in
this case, to enjoin the law from
going into effect, to assist the
government in expediting the
case to the supreme court of
the United States for final de-
cision and instructed them,
through their attorneys, to In
vite the representatives Of ev-
cry railroad in this country to
participate in the hearings be-
fore the highest court in the
rNr ..aaI.
land. This was requested in
the governments motion to
dismiss the injunction petition
of the railroad, the govern
ment desiring to avoid 'spro-
longed, unnecessary and scat
tered litigation" through the
hearing Of countless similar
suits filed by every railroad
system in every federal dist
riot in the United States
through which their lines run.
It is expected that the ultimate
decision as to whether the law
will go into effect January 1
will be handed down before
that time. A transcript of the
present case viii be filed at the
supreme court before it recon-
venes December 4.
Neither the attorneys for
many large railroad systems,
who were present in court, nor
the government counsel pres
ent, would comment on the de-
cree. Apparently both sides re-
garded the case only as a
means Of Fastening a decision
by the supreme court which is
the final arbiter.
