8-Hour L0n7
Held Valid by Supreme
Court mDecision Today

wage measure congress had the right
to pass it under the commerce clause
of the constitution.
The case had its inception when
congress passed a law late last August
when railroad brotherhoods threaten
ed to tie UP the nations railroads, de-
clarng eight hours to be a standard
d1ny's work and providing that pro
rata overtime should be paid for work
done after the first eight hours. This
section formed the real basis Of at
tack FOR the railroads.
On March 20. 1916, the four rail-
road brotherhoods-the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers. the Order
Of Railway Conductors, the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Firemen and the
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen-.
demanded of the railroads of the coun-
try an eight hour day with time-and-a-
half overtime. overtime to be eomput.
ed on the minute basis and regular
time to begin when a railroad man was
required to report for duty This was
to replace the old mileage basis, by
which the men were paid for a trip
100 miles constituting days run, US
ually Of ten hours.

Railroads refused this and other con.
cessions, and in return asked arbitra.
tion by the federal board of mediation
or the interstate commerce commits.
sion This the brotherhoods refused
fatty. The brotherhoods held out for
the eight-hour day and the time-and-
a-half overtime; the railroads con.
tended granting these would have
meant material increases in pay ard
should be arbitrated.
Little attention was paid to the dis.
pute until late in the spring, it be.
came apparent neither side would
WELD without a struggle. Both sides
claimed the other was bluffing. When
neither side would concede anything,
and the negotiations at New York
seemed about to end in a strike, Pres
ident Wilson asked leaders for the
brotherhoods and railroads to go to
Washington for a conference. They

Negro Feud Gets Both men Into Cells

Bad marksmanship furnished arroth-

results in the negro section yesterday
afternoon, when, shortly after six
o'clock, Ed Taylor. from his point Of
vantage in the second story Of Car

Jake Hightower who was walking in
Two street. The first ball went
through Jake's hat but did not touch
his Uranium. Other shots followed in
quick succession both men using theif
