S-HOUR MEASURE DECLARED
UNCOSSTITUTIONA BY KAN
SAS CITY JUDGE IN TEST.
GOES TO HIGHER COURT
viii Rush Case to Supreme Court in
Hopes of Getting Decision Be-
fore January 1.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 22.-The
Adamson eight-hour law was held
unconstitutional here to-day by Judge
VIM. G.. Hook, in the United States
District Court. The court made it
plain that the decision WAS not based
on mature consideration of the mer-
its of the case. but on expediency de-
sired by all parties at interest be-
cause of the necessity of final decis-
ion by the Supreme Court of the
United States before January next,
when the law goes into effect
The legal moves in the process of
sending the case direct to the high
est court of the land were somewhat
involved from the lay points OF
view, but the lawyers concerned
rushed the matter through with q
speed seldom witnessed in courts of
law. Just what action Attorney Cen
eral Gregory would take remained a
closely guarded secret until yester-
day when Frank Hagerman, retain
ed as special counsel to represent the
Federal Government in the suit, sud
denly set the ball rolling by asking
Judge Hook to instruct the receiver
for the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf
railroad, complainant in an injunc-
ton suit, to join with the defendant
in proceedings which would con-
sign the case on its merits to the
Supreme Court.

men will return from trenches ex-
pecting with reason, that their old
positions, now filled by women, will
be open to them. But women, espe-
cially widows with children, will not
willingly give them up"
Mr.. Lamb said that the demand for
the privilege of such emigration is
such as to enable the army to select
only those suited physically and
mentally to be good colonists. He
added that no woman will be placed
aboard ship until arrangements had
been made for her employment.

Wy has any authentic information.
Rear Admiral Strauss, Chief of Ordi-

gun early next year.
I'VE have a very good sixteen-inch
