 "Without conscription Greene county will not supply sufficient material to maneuver a canoe. The result of a weeks agitation here has netted seventeen recruits, four of whom have since been smitten with locomotor ataxia in it's most viru- lent form. The remaining thirteen represent good families and are boys with positions who ought to be aiding in an industrial rather than a military sense. The fellows who ought to be shot at are hiding un- der beds during the day and steal ling bacon and navy beans at night. They are strong advocates of the volunteer system and will assist in lrepelling German invasion when submarines ply the St. Francis and when Zeppelins lombard the moon.

Interest in the great French Of
fens;ve along the Aisne has been
displaced by startling news from the
interior Of Germany. Although the
situation is yelled by the rigid CEN
sorship of outgoing news and OBJ
scured by the shackled condition of
the German press, sufficient has
leaked through to indicate that the
German Empire is facing a great
economic political crisis.
Latest information reveals that
ten thousand striking munition
worker. are engaged in bloody riot
within the great fortress town of
Magdeburg and the burning of the
City Hall was prevented only by
direct intervention of the military
forces. News from the Dutch
frontier is sufficient in detail to make
the reports appear authentic.
On the heels of the report of the
Magdeburg situation arrives an ae-
count of the demand of the leaders
in the Berlin strikes Of such revolu-
tionary character that compliance
would mean the prompt ending of
the military regime in Germany. The
exact status Of the strike movement
in Germany has not been ascertain
ed, but certain large portions of the
munition workers are effected.
There are also reports Of new strikes
At Essen and Magdeburg.
General Won Hindenburs has con-
sidered it necessary to make a per-
sonal appeal to the strikers, which
indicates the seriousness Of the situ-
alton.
The British last night delivered a
stroke in the direction of Combrai

AdamsOn Law Held Valid.
Decision Declares Congress Has
Power to Keep Open Channels
of Interstate Commerce.
Washington, March 10. In an epochal
decision holding Congress to be clothed
with any and all power necessary to keep
open the channels of interstate commerce
the Supreme Court today, dividing five
to four, sustained the Adamson law as
constitutional and enforceable in every
feature
The immediate effect of the decision
will be to fix a permanent eighs-hour
basic day in computing wage scales on
interstate railroads, for which nation
wide strike twice has been threatened,
and to give, effective from January
this year, increases in wages to trainmen
of about 25 per cent at cost to the
railroads estimated at from $40, 900, 600
to $50, 600, 900 year.
The Court, through Chief Justice
White, declared both carriers and their
employees engaged in business charged
with public interest subject to the right
of Congress to compulsorily arbitrate a
dispute affecting the operating of that
business.
Whatever would be the right of an
employe 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 conditions, y
said the opinion "such rights are necss-
sarly subject to limitation when employ
ment is accepted in business charged
with public interest and as to which
the power to regulate commerce by Con-
gress applied and the resulting right to
fix in case of disagreement and dispute
standard of wages as we have seen
necessarily obtained.
III delivering the opinion, the Chief
Justice departed at this point from his
written text to emphasize the position
of men operating trains in time OF
national emergency by comparing them
to soldiers facing an enemy.
Coming on the heels of the concession
of the eight-hour basic day by the rail-
roads at New York, to avert the threat
ened strike, today's decision is regarded
as largely supplanting that agreement
and also removing for all time, through
the broadest Interpretation of Congress
sional authority outlined by the court,
the probability of future transportation
paralysis.
Joining with the Chief Justice in sus-
tanning the law were Justices McKenna
and Holmes, his immediate seniors in
point of service, and Justices Brandeis
and Clarke, junior members. Dissenting
for various reasons were Justices Day,
Van Devanter, Ptney and McReynolds.
The majority upheld the public right
to have interstate commerce uninter-
rupted as basic principle paramount to
interests of the railroads or their opera.
tives, both declared to be in public ser.
vice and subject to the supreme unre-
stricted power of Congress to take any
action necessary to maintain freedom
and uninterruption of interstate CON-
merce. Either as law fixing wages or
hours of labor, the court decided, Con-
gress had authority to enact the Adam
son statute.
