Want Test on This Case

II is believed in Washington that the
government prefers the test TO be made
on to-day's decision. 1t is also clearly
apparent that the railroad counsel VIII
not agree to that until they have sat
isfed themselves that the case is rs
strong as any Of the suits OF other
and larger railroads. Several OF the
attorneys for the larger railroad sys-
TENS said they had never heard OF this
road until to-day and their only IN
formation about it comes from railroad
record books. ~
No statement came from the White
House on the decision. officials were
deeplv interested, however, in a report,
seemingly trustworthy, that the Admin
istration advisers were contemplating
a plan to rewrite the Adamson law and
rush a new eight-hour bill through
Congress which would meet the CHIEF
objections raised against the present
law. II is believed that such plan
is feasible and necessary in case the
Adamson law is discarded by the SUI
preme Court, and the brotherhoods hold
the President to the intentions he an
nounced to them and to the public last

Think Decision Will Stand

Lawyers in Washington who have
studied the Adamson law independent
ly expect that the Supreme Court will
uphold the decision Of Judge Hook. IL
was remarked that the court in Kansas
City did not give its reasons for de-
claring the law unconstitutional, but
persons familiar with the Adamson law
say that his few words of comment
have particular regard for the roads
objection that the law violated the con-
stitutional right Of a private corpora
ton to make contracts with its employ
ers, and, by directing that present
schedules OF pay shall not be reduced,
was confiscatory.
Judge Hook made it plain, neverthe-
less. that he was acting in haste, TO
comply with the request Of the De
partment of Justice, although he ruled
that the government on the merits OF
the case was not entitled TO any more
consideration than the other parties to
the litigation. He made his decree
final also for the sake Of speed. II he
had merely granted a temporary In
junction, he said, the appeal might go
first to the Circuit Court of Appeals.
Therefore, when the governments coun-
sci moved TO dismiss the case, Judge
Hook made his ruling final.
The court also suggested that the
government and the attorneys for the
railroad invite all others involved to
ioin in the case.

pleasant, healthful enjoyment

rude action or improper conduct
should be allowed at dances any
