Reasons Behind law.
The regulation of wages bears
close relation to the proper perform

The safety depends upon the skill and

Is just as necessary to properly care
for the employees as to keep in good
condition the physical instrumentali-
ties used in interstate commerce.
Physical efficiency is impossible with
out the payment Of an adequate wage
An adequate wage. therefore. is es-
sentlal to safe, regular and efficient
service in interstate commerce. and
the public through Congress has a
right to demand its payment"
The government argued that the
power of Congress to regulate COM

late to prevent the Gripping of inter-
state commerce through wage dis

deprived the railroads of their rights
under the Constitution
The governments brief set forth
that the railroads had agreed to &C
cept the Adamson law without lti-
CATION, before II was enacted, and that
the railroads delayed fling the pres
ent suit until 1t was certain that no
final decision could be reached until
after the law became effective, Janu-

railroads denied this and asserted that
they had agreed to accept the Presi-
dents program If 1t was enacted as
whole. including his recommended
lions for preventing future strikes.
