E|GHT-HOUR LAW UPHELD
BY Supreme COurt-ACt Valid
and Enforceable.

Dividing five to four the highest
court in the land held the Adamson
law constitutional and thus fixed a
permanent eight-hour basis for
wages ON interstate railroads for
which a nationwide strike has twice
been threatened.
The law which become effective
January the first, this year, increas-
es the wages of trainmen about 25
per cent, amounting to something
like $50,000.000 per annum.
The opinion was delivered by
Chief Justice White. Justices Day,
Van Devanter, Pitneer and Mercy
nolds dissented.
The majority upheld the public
right to have interstate commerce
uninterrupted as basis principle
paramount to interests of the rail
roads or their operatives-both de-
clared to be in the public service
and subject to the supreme power of
Congress to take any action necessa-
ry to maintain freedom and uninter-
ruption of interstate commerce.
The congressional authority outlined
by the court renews the probability
of future paralysis of transportation.
