peculiar accident occurred on the corner
of Merrillville road and Goldsborough
street, about eight o'clock Saturday
evening. when the driver of a Ford car
lost control of the machine, turned com

accident. rushed from their homes to
Investigate and lend what assistance
they could. but heard neither sound nor
whimper from the overturned car.
The two then attempted to right the
car and their first tntimatton that the
jitney had an occupant was revealed.

their ears.
The car was soon righted and beyond

new. The driver thanked the two men
but refused to divulge his name and
drove away with what was left of the
Ford without anyone being the wiser.

Decides for Railroads.

NEW YORK, March 19.-The
railroads have met the fullest de-
mands of the Adamson eight hour
law and thereby definitely averted
the threatened nationwide strike
with the country on the verge of its
most serious crisis.
Patriotism swayed to its heighth
by the sinking of three American
vessels brought from the railway
managers early today the an
nouncement that they would accept
the brotherhood chiefs demands
rather than give the impression
that the operation of the country's
railways will be hampered or i'm
paired in the face of its latest peril.
The railways surrendered completely
leaving their end of the adjustment en-
tirely in the hands of the presidents

To thrash out the details.
The following statement was issued
by the mediators this morning:
We desire TO express our arprecfa-
tion Of the patriotic action of the rail-
way managers committee which has
put beyond any chance the possibility of
a nationwide strike. The railroads have
met the ulIdemanda Of the Adamson's
eight hour law. This concession was
assured as the elimination Of two days
and nights of negotiations. We asked
the railroads to agree that if the Adam
son law was held constitutional that
this construction and application would
he given to it. The railroads agreed to
this. We sought next some adjustment
that would be effective should the law
he held unconstitutional In this regard
many propositions We're made to both
sides but none were acceptable until the
railroads expressed their willingness to
place the whole matter in the hands OF

Right to LGgiSIate Work

By United Press.

WAsHINGToE, March 19.-The Ad-
arnson law is constitutional This was
the ruling of the United states supreme
court today. Chief Justice White read
the decision He said:
"There was authority begotten of
the public interest in the action of con-
gress." He declared it could not be
maintained, as the railroads had de-
clared, that the law had not been con
sddered. In view of this he saidG
He gave two reasons for this. First
the time the controversy was before the
public; second, the discussion which was
carried on in congress before action was
taken Besides declaring the law con-
stitutional the highest tribunal held
that congress has a right to Ieeislate
wages The supreme courts decision
today is a formal reversal of the
opinion of Judge William C. Hook Of
Kansas City. who held the law uncon-
stitutional.
The ruling of the court was not unani-
nous. Justice Day read a dissenting
opinion as soon as the chief justice had
concluded the majority reading. Justice
White said.

NARROW
ESCAPE
RECORDED

But for the lack of the principal eIe-
ment in spectacular collision-spe speed-
disaster would have to be recorded
today as occurring at Calumet. Every
thing happened according to the rules
of newspaper story deserving a sew
en- column head-a New York Central
passenger train struck human-freight-
ed Gary-bound South Shore interurban
car amidship. The passengers We're
panic stricken, two young women and
man were hurt. and there undoubtedly
would have been many fatalities had not
the element of speed lacked. on the
other hand had there been speed. it is
probable there would not have been
collision.
southbound New York Central train
was standing at the Calumet depot al
$40 this morning. An eastbounG South
Shore was held at the crossing by low
cred gates. The gates went up and both
engine and interurban moved forward
neither having gained any momentum
to speak of. The engine lifted the in
terurban off its tracks. When the latter
was replaced it was able to proceed un-
der its power to Gary.
Those reported injured were Mary
Sulko, II years old of 501S Alexander
avenue. and Katie Urzik. II years old
of 1916 Melville avenue. Both were on
their way to the Cudahy factory. one
man whose name the police report did
not mention was also reported slightly
injured. The girls while not SERIOUSLY
injured were ont able to go to work to-
