COURT UPGSLDS
EIGHT LAW
Highest Tribunal Declares Ad-
amSOn Bill Constitutional

Washington, March 20.--Shortly
after the settlement of the threatened
nation wide railroad strike. in New
York, the supreme court Of the Unit
ed States declared the Adamson
eight-hour law constitutional.
The supreme courts decision, one
of the most radical in its history,
also holds that employees OF public
service corporations have not the right
TO strike in unison.
The railroad Brotherhood had al
ready won a victory in the New York
conference, and the decision Of the
court was not necessary to avert the
strike
Chief Justice White declared that
the right of employees TO strike was
surrendered when they were engaged
in public service. They are com
parable to soldiers in the ranks, y he
said. and must not desert.
The court held the law constitu
tional by a decision OF FIVE to four.
Justices Pitney, Day. McReynolds
and Vandeventer dissented, and Day
read the dissenting opinion as soon as
the chief justice concluded the ma
jority ruling.
In its decision, however. the court
made the most radical advance in its
history when it ruled that employees
OF public service organizations have
not the right TO strike in concert.
An agreement was reached at New
York between the principals in the
railroad controversy which settled all
the points in dispute and definitely
disposed of all possibility of a strike.
The agreement was signed by the
chiefs of the four great railroad
Brotherhoods and by the executive
managers of the railroads.
Under the agreement the railroads
agree to pay to the workers time and
one eighth for overtime.
