LAW
HELD VALID BY
SUPREME COURT
JUDGES IN SIX TO THREE YER
DICT UPHOLD THE ADAMSoN
LAW AS CONSTITUTIONAL.
In Its Decision, However, the Court
Rules That Employees of Public
Service Corporations May Not
Strike in Concert.

| Washington.-By vote of six tc
three, the Supreme court on March
10 upheld the right of congress to
legislate along any lines designed to
meet a public emergency, when it up
held the Adamson eight-hour law for
railway employees.
In its decision, however, the court
made the most radical advance in its
history when it ruled that the en-
ployees of public service organizations
have not the right to strike in con-
cert
THAT right" declared Chief Justice
White in enunciating what may yet be
Characterized as revolutionary law
and lead directly to public ownership
of public utilities, is necessarily sur
rendered when the men are engaged
in public service. They are compar-
able to soldiers in the ranks, who, in
the presence of enemies of their coun-
try, may not desert"
The decision was not really neces-
sary at this time, inasmuch as the
railway strike situation had been adj
justed in New York earlier in the
day.
Justices Pitney, Day and Vandevan
ter dissented from the majority and
held that the law was a wage increase
law and no proper regulation of COM
merce under the constitution. Justice
McKenna, concurring with the major
ity, held that it involved simply the
fixing of hours of labor.
Justice Pitney, for himself and JUS
tice Vandevanter, delivered dissent
ing opinion, in which he expressed
concurrence in the view held by JUS
tice Day that the Adamson law was
unconstitutional, because congress, al
though confessedly not in possession
of the information necessary for in
telligent and just treatment of the
controversy between carriers and |
trainmen, arbitrarily imposed upon |
the carriers an enormous cost of an |
experimental increase in wages, with
out providing for any compensation |
to be paid in case the investigation
should determine the improperly of
the increase.
The installation of the eight-hour
day for trainmen will, it is asserted
affect more than 100000 railway men
directly. The new wage scale will
cost the railroads of the country ap-
s5OOO0,OOO annually The
back pay from January 1 which the
men will receive will total in the
1eighborhood of twelve or thirteen
million dollars.
The court decision is regarded as a
great victory for the railway en-
,loyees in their fight for an eight-hour
work day, and there will be no strike. i,
Under the agreement reached be- ,
ween the railroads and the men in
'olved, the men will get an eight-hour
lay, and time and one-eighth for over
ime work. This was the only point
n which the men yielded. They had ,
demanded a basis of time
nd one-half for overtime.

NATIONAL DEFENSE ACT
Likely That Law Adopted By England Regarding Munitions Will Be

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. The Senate military committee has be- gun an investigation of the war de partments and their work in equip. ping the United States army as the first move in a congressional inves- tigation of the general conduct of the war.
 Maj.-Gen, CroZier, chief of ordi- nance, said that one of the early ob- stacles was that the military policy defined in the defense act of 1916 contemplated a force of a million men to be raised inside of five years, according to the original program It was not contemplated that the five years program would be com pressed into one year.
 He said the shifting also of labor had hindered the work, the men be- ing attracted by higher wages into ptheI lines. He. said England now has law prohibiting men from leay- ing munition work, without permis- sion
 Tt would require national legisla- tion to accept that" he said. We do not as yet find actual shortage of munition labor needed in the United States. The American army will be able, with the assistance of France and England, to supply itself with sufficient artillery"
