LAW ILLEGAL SAYS JUDGE

United States Judge Hook, before
whom the Missouri Oklahoma and
Gulf railroad sought an injunction to
keep the Adamson eight hour law
from going into effect has just rem
dered his decision on the famous Dem
ocratic vote getting law.
Judge Hooks opinion is that the
law is illegal. and cannot be sustained.
He has ordered the railroads to hold
their cash to pay man, pending a dc
cision from the United States Supreme
Court, and it is expected that this will
be forth coming before January Isl.
II begins TO look as though the
working men who supported Wilson
because of the pressure he eXerted 20
get this bill through, were led around
by the nose. just at campaign time.
The bill has been wonder for the
Democrats. even if the L. 5. Supreme
Court holds that it is unconstitutional
which is now expected.
