Now Before Supreme Court
of the United States
ASSOCIATED Press by Federal wireless)

WASHINGTON, January "a great
legal fight over the Adamson "eight-
hour" law for the railroads reached
its focus yesterday before the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Annulmcnt of the Judge Hook dccis-
ion, holding the Adamson law uncon-
stitutional, and the dismissal of the
Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad s
suit, are asked by the department of
justice.
The railroads in their pleas contend
that the law is unavoidable, expert
mental and incapable Of application,
and that it interferes with the liberty
of contract between employer and
employe. They also contend that it
does not fall within the authority of
congress to regulate Interstate com
merce as this law seeks to do, and that
the law IS effects constitute the taking
'of property without due process of
law.n 70 ,5s.
Many other importantT cases have
been temporarily set 3side in order
that the constitutionalHy of the qucs
| ton involved I'M the AdamsOn law
might be argued before the court The
case comes up on a stipulation includ
ing all points sought to be passed upon
in the interest of the government, the
emplotes and the railroads. In the
meantime the law itself, under the de
cision of Judge Pollock, United Statc'
district Judge for the western district
/ of Missouri, and the agreements by the
railroad and government attorneys, ha'
been held, in allegiance, The law wa'
enacted September 8, last, to go into
effect on January |, 1917.
A provision of the stipulation, a part
of the official record, requires the rail
roads to keep special accounts of wage
due employees under the new act, 70
prompt payment if the court sustain
the law.
1t is expected that the supreme cour
will be able to render its decision thi
month.

ESPIONAGE BILL DELAYED
Laid Aside Temporarily For consid.
Grafton Of Owen Measure.

The espionage bill in the Senate
was temporarily laid aside this after
noon TO permit consideration of the
owen bill containing amendments to
the Federal reserve Law. The espion-
age bill came up at ! o'clock auto
matically. but Senator Overman, who
was in charge Of IT, yielded to a re-
quest of Senator Owen to permit the
consideration of the Federal reserve
measure. The espionage bill was
taken up later in the afternoon.
For the first time an effort has been
made to invoke the ne wcloture rule
of the Senate. Senator John Sharp
Williams, an Administration sup
porter, procured signatures OF the
necessary sixteen Senators for a mo
ton to enforce the cloture rule on
the espionage bill. Whether Senator
Williams will press the motion had
not been finally determined this after
noon. Senator Overman does not
want the cloture rule invoked.
In order to enforce the cIoture rule.
a two-thirds vote would be necessary,
and IL is not probable that two
thirds Of the Senate would vote to
stop debate on the espionage meas
ure.
Senate leaders did not insist on
secrecy in the proceedings of the SEN
ate today. Senator Overman said he
would not ask for a secret session.
