RIGHT OF PUBLIC SERVICE
EMPLOYEES TO WALK
OUT DENIED.

Washington, March 19.--Up
holding the right of congress t.
legislate along any lines designed
to meet public emergency, the SUI
premc court today, by vote of
to 3, upheld the Adamson eight
hour law for railway employees.
In it's decision, however, thu
court made the most radical ad
vance in its history when it ruled
that employees of public service
organizations have not the right
to strike in concert.
"That right" declared Chief
Justice White, in enunciating
what yet may be characterized as
revolutionary law and lead di-
rectly to public ownership of
public utilities, sis necessarily
surrendered when the men are en-
gagged in public service. They
are comparable to soldiers in the
ranks. who, in the presence Of
enemies of their country, may not
desert.
Justices Pitncy, Day and Van
deventcr disscntcd from the ma
jority and held the law was a
wage increase law and no proper
regulation of commerce under the
constitution. Justice McKenna,
concurring with the majority,
held that it involved simply the
fixing of hours of labor.
The majority judges agreed
that the law was constitutional
because it was to meet public
emergency, in which the right Of
the whole people was superior to
the private right Of employers
and employees to bargain as to the
wages to be paid.
The law was attacked by the
railroads because it specified that
tfIc cngincmrn, fircmcn and train
men should be paid as much for
eight hours work. beginning
January l, AS they had been for
10 hours prior to that time, eN-
ccpt, Of course, where the eight
hour basis of pay already was in
effect
The opinion Of the supreme
court reversed the decision of I
Judge William c. Hook of Kan
sas City that the law was invalid,
Justice Pitncy's, for himself,
and Justice Vandcrventer's dis
senting opinion; declared con-
gress, although confesscdly not in
possession of the facts. arbitrar-
lily imposed an enormous cost of
III experimental increase in
wages, without providing for any
compensation. They further de-
'.1arcd the law was not a proper
and legitimate regulation of com

Justice Pitncy said that the act
,annot be sustained as Il regula-
ion of commerce because it has

Justices Pitncy and Vandeven-
err also held that the act cannot

rankly laid more stress on the
confronting congress
'hen the law was enacted. !
The majority opinion also
rushed aside reference to the !
that the law was dis c
riminatory.
To the contention that the pen t
ties for violating the law were )
