matter of fact there is no income from

EIGHT-HOUR LAW
IS HELD ILLEGAL
Railroads Win First Decision in the
Fight With the Government
Over the New Act.

KANSAS CITY.-Federal Judge
Hook this afternoon issued the final
decree in the Missouri, Oklahoma and
Gulf railroad injunction case against
the government to prevent the en-
forcement of the Adamson law, de-
clining to dismiss the injunction, de-
claring the law unconstitutional and
enioining Francis NJ. Wilson, United
States district attorney, from enforc-
ing the law.
The decree dismisses the injunc-
ton suit so far as the railroad broth
erhoods are concerned, leaving the
government the sole defendant. The
appeal was granted and certified in
open court, the government furnish
ing bond of $500.
Railroad attorneys intimated that
while they probably would not press
the multitude of injunction suits
throughout the country in view of to-
days action, they might ask that one
other suit filed by some Eastern rail-
road be taken to the supreme court
as we'll as the Kansas City cases,
The decree will be mailed to Wash
ington this evening and will be filed
in the supreme court Friday. On
December 4 the government attor-
neys will appear and urge that the
court advance the case on the docket
and hear it at once.

FEAR THE CAUSE
OF NEGRO EXODUS
SOME OF THE STORIES CIRCU-
LATED BY LABOR AGENTS TO
INFLUENCE IMMIGRATION.

ALBANY, Ga.-That negro labor
ers are leaving Southwest Georgia
because they are afraid to remain in
this section was the startling fact
brought out at conference held here
between leaders of the white and
colored races for the purpose of dis
cussing the problem brought about by
the exodus of negroes to the North.
Albany has taken steps to stop this
exodus. The Albany Chamber of
Commerce and the mayor of Albany,
NJ. w. Tiff, together with leading cit
liens, have asked leading negroes
here to assure the laborers that there
is no cause for them to leave the
South; that the white people want
them here; that the white people need
them, and that the white people will
give them every protection so long as
they deserve it.
The conference here was an eX-
change of condolences between the
leaders of the two races. The ne

who have sacrificed what property
they had in this section and left be-
cause they could not rest easy at any
time for fear of mob violence. Other
negroes have left because the labor
agents circulated the report that the
Indians were coming back and would
drive all the negroes out and take the
land away from them. Another re-
port is that the white people are go
ing to drive the negroes out next
year. The labor agents, who get SIS
for each laborer sent North, have
at no means to get the ne
groes to leave.
One white planter at the meeting
stated that the labor agents have taxi
en- advantage of the boil weevil scare.
The negroes are afraid they won't be
able to make a living next year, and

are going North, where they are
promised anything from $3.50 day
up. He, along with other white plant
ers, told his negroes this fall that
they would have to save their money,
as he wasn't going to furnish them
anything next year. This scared the
negroes, for they had spent their
money as soon as they got it, When
the labor agents came along they
found all of his negroes ready to go
North, as they were afraid they
wouldn't be able to make living
here next year, or that they would be
run out.
