Paris, Jan. 10.-Although no COM

The French premier, M. BRAND, said:
Our visit has been most fruitful and
was timely. Many difficulties of de-
tail had arisen since the last confer
ence and in all directions the attempt
was made to becloud the relations be-

one. 1t was necessary to dissipate

Ways and means of formulating in

Great Britain has practised in mail

FEDERAL SOLICITOR GENERAL
CLAIMS CONGRESS ALONE CAN
MAKE ANY CHANGES IN
RAILROAD LAW.
ARGUMENTS BEING MADE
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Court Room Crowded During Hearing
on ConstitutionaIity of Adamson
Law Regulating Hours OF Rail-
way Trainmen-Court
Questions Argument.

Washington, Jan. 10-The test case
to determine constitutionality OF the
Adamson law, enacted last September
when a general railroad strike threat
ened, is being heard in the supreme
court.
A decision is expected with
in a few weeks. Meantime, although
the law was passed to become effec'
tive January / last, all litigation un
der it, and the changes it prescribes,
are suspended by agreement
Opening the defense for the Depart
ment of Justice, Solicitor General
Davis boldly intimated to the supreme
court it has not the right to amend the
law; that such right belongs alone
to the body that made the law. He
said: ..
ut may be that Congress did not
please the railroads, the employees or
the public; but the body that made
the law should amend it and the ju'
dietary must not usurp that power"
Has Right to Regulate.
Solicitor General Davis declared the
statute regulates both hours of serv'
ice and wages, and contended that
Congress has authority to regulate
both. He asked annulment of the de,
cision of Circuit Judge Hook at Kan
sas City in the test case of the Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad, hold
ing the law void
The railroad brotherhoods are not
participating through counsel but sew
eral labor leaders were present. At
torney General Gregory and his entire
staff and many members of Congress
were in the crowded court room.
Law Limits Hours of Toll.
Solicitor General Davis told the
court that it reached the heights OF
Imagination" to say that the primary
object of Congress in passing the law
was not to limit the hours of toll. He
asserted that Elisha Lee, the rail
roads spokesman throughout the
strike controversy, often had admit,
ted that fact as well as that the law
is workable, now denied by the rail
roads.
