BY United Press.
Washington, Jan. S.--Whether the
people of the United States again will
face national railroad strike crisis
depends on the supreme courts de-
cision as to the laws constitutionality,
argument Of which is being made be-
fore that tribunal here today.
The governmental and industrial eri-
sis of which this law is the outgrowth
is ooked up by leaders as a concrete
showdown between the powers of la
bcr and those Of capital
The measure was rushed through
congress last summer by President
Wilson to ward off strike by 4O0,-
600 railroad workers that would have
tied up transportation in this country
and gave promise OF leading to condi-
tions yerging on civil war This strike
menace has not yet been obviated.
At the top or the calendar OF the
United States supreme court today
was the case-No. 797; Francis M.
Wilson, United States attorney for the
western district of Missouri, versus
Alexander New and Henry C. Ferris,
receivers of the Missouri, Oklahoma
& Gulf railroad. Solicitor General Da-
Wis acted for the government.
Argument OF the Adamson case was
begun after the court handed down its
opinions for the day Monday being
decision day in the court. There was
little room for spectators in the tiny
supreme court chamber. Attorneys
were anxious for legal reasons as we'll
as out Of curiosity to hear pleas of the
array of lawyers appearing in the case
foy railroads and the government.
In the first fight before the court,
railroad executives had the advantage
of a favorable decision in the court be-
low when Judge Hook, at Kansas
City, declared the law, after a brief
hearing, unconstitutional That, how
ever, was only preliminary In to-
days battle the supreme court will de-
eide for all time whether congress had
the power to legislate wages, proyid-
ing that eight hours shall constitute
a days work for railroad men, and
that for work after that they shall be
paid overtime premiums.
What time will be taken by the court
after today to decide the case no one
knows.

HAWAIIAN
QUINTET is
SPLENDID

With symathy and appeal which
was spontaneous, the Hawaiian music
rendered by Kekuku's quintet at the
Oklahoma College for Women on Sat
urday night captured its audience in
stanter and held it spellbound for an
hour and a half broken only by the
.pplause and repeated encores to
which the members gracefully re-
sponded. It was one of the most sue
cessful lyceum numbers which has
ever been brought to Chickasha.
To the Chickasha audience the
ukelele, which has been proclaimed in
song for many months, became a
pleasing reality and in the hands Of
Oliver and of the Hawaiian prince who
ied the vocal work possessed almost
human attributes. Time after time the
close of an Hawaiian love song or
burst of patriotism brought forth such
spontaneous approval that nothing but
repetition of the most touching
strains sufficed to subdue the encore.
1t remained for the steel guitar, how
ever, to administer the crowning sue
cess of the evening and notwithstand
ing the appealing look Of the perform
er for mercy nothing but added num-
bers. each apparently more beautiful
than the last, would satisfy the audi
ence.
The instrument, responding to a
touch that was little less than magical,
put human appeal into "The Rosa
~ and Pretty Baby" which brought
down the house.
President Austin of the o. c. w.
has won the APPROVAL of the public by
the meriiorious attractions with
which he has been furnishing Chick
asha during the present season and
the large audiences which have been
drawn to the college on these occa-
sions attest the appreciation of local
music ana drama lovers.
