tiOnal at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 22-The
Adamson eight-hour law was held
unconstitutional here today by Judge
William S. Hook in United States dis
trict court.
Judge Hook directed the receivers
of the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf rail-
road. who brought the original action
in this case, to enjoin the law from
! going into effect, to assist the govern
ment in eXpediting the case 10 the su'
preme court for final decision and to
invite the attorneys OF every railroad
in this country to participate in thu
hearings before the supreme court.
This was requested in the govern
ment's motion to dismiss the injunc-
ton petition of the railroad, the gov
ernment desiring to avoid prolonged.
: unnecessary and scattered litigation
! that would be made necessary by the
. hearing of countless similar suits
filed by the railroads.
1t is expected that the ultimate de-
cision as to whether the law will go
into effect January / will be handed
down before those suits come up for
hearing. \ transcript Of the present
case will be filed in the United States
supreme court before it reconyenes
December 4.
To Hurry Decision.
Washington. Nov. 22.-An agree
ment between the railroads and the
department of justice to ask the su-
preme court to pass On the constitu-
tionality of the Adamson act before
January l, when it takes effect, ap-
peared to be near at hand today.
Counsel for the Pennsylvania, New
York Central and Burlington roads are
conferring On the subject and it IS
said that they may seek to have the
suit of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe set for hearing at Kansas City to-
morrow, made a test case In that
event, other suits already instituted
attaching the Adamson act may be
dropped.
Final decision in the matter, how
ever, probably will await word from

OF the department of justice, who will
appear in the Santa Fe case.
