ADAMSON LAW HELD
CONSTITUTIONAL
IN EPOcHAL DECISION SUPREME
COURTS OF UNITED STATES
UPHOLD LAW.
VOTE WAS FIVE TO -FOUR
Congress Has Power to Keep Com
merce Channels Open.-Fixes Eight
Hour Day as Basis For Wages
Chief Justice Delivers Opinion.

Washington.-In an epochal decision
holding congress to be clothed with
any and all power necessary to keep
open the channels of interstate COM
merce, the supreme court dividing five
to four, sustained the Adamson law
as constitutional and enforceable in
every feature.
The immediate effect of the decision
will be t o fix a permanent eight-hour
basic day in computing wage scales on
interstate railroads., for which a ma
tionwide strike twice has been threat
ened and to give, effective from Janu-
airy l this year, increases in wages to
trainmen of about 25 per cent, at a
cost to the railroads estimated at from
$40, 900, 900 to $1,000, 900 a year.
The court, through Chief Justice
White, declared both carriers and
their employees, engaged in a bust
ness charged with a public interest,
subject to the right of congress to
compulsorily arbitrate a dispute at
tecting the operating Of that business.
"Whatever would be the right of an
employee engaged in private. business
TO demand such wages as he desires,
to leave the employment if he does
not get them and by concert of action
to agree with others to leave on the
same condition" said the opinion, "such
rights are necessarily subject to linn
itation when all employment is accept
ed in a business charged with a pub
lie interest and to which the power
to regulate commerce by congress ap-
piled and the resulting right to fix in
case of disagreement and dispute a
standard of wages as We have seen
necessarily obtained"
In delivering the opinion, the chief
justice departed at this point from
his written text to emphasize the posi-
ton of men operating trains in a time
of national emergency by comparing
them to soldiers facing an enemy.

and the high seas are the things in

THE imperial government will in
this respect support every proposal

FraternaI Spirit.
Germany owing to her geographi-
cal situation and economic require
ments, has to rely on peaceful in
tercourse with her neighbors and
more reason than the German peo-
pie to wish that, instead Of universal
hatred and battle, a conciliatory
fraternal spirit should prevail be-
tween nations. r
IF the nations are guided by this
spirit 1t will be recognized that their
advantage will be to lay more stress
on what unites them. They will also
succeed in settling individual points
of conflict which are still undecided
in such a way that conditions Of ex5
istence will be created which will be
satisfactory to every nation and
thereby a repetition OF this great
worlds catastrophe would appear
impossible.
"Only on this condition can a last
ing peace be founded which would
promote an intellectual rapproche-
ment and a return to the economic
prosperity OF human society. This
serious and sincere conviction en-
courages our confidence that our en-
emies also may see suitable basis
