THE COLLAPSE OF THE
~WOMAN'S PARTY"

"W0MAN'S PARTY
Many uncertainties followed the
Presidential election and the count Of
the vote in the doubtful States.
But one fact was certain from the
day after the last election; and that
was that the campaign OF the so-called
"Woman's Party in the suffrage
states had been complete and
gloomy failure.
The "Woman's Party" alias the Con-
Rressional Union, sent its campaigners
into all of the twelve states ia which
women we're 10 vote for Presidential
electors. They carried banners In

Ntical freedom for women Vote

ocratic candidates for Congress-
They held rallies OF their own all
over the different States. They at
tended Democratic rallies, and heck
led the speakers with demands to
know why President Wilson had
kept them out Of suffrage They
spent hundreds Of thousands OF dol
lars in publicity and IN the expenses
OF their campaigners. Theirs was a
noisy. aggressive and truculent cam
paign. and, up to the day Of the cleo
ton, they declared that they were
bound to win
And what came Of It all? Out OF
the twelve States in which they waged
their war against the President and
the Democratic party, Wilson carried
ten. Arizona. California, Colorado
Idaho, Kansas. Montana, Nevada
Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
The only States which he did not
carry we're Illinois and oregon; and
these are States which had been uni

Iife-saver at Northwestern university

Gently after lingering illness. He
was eighty-one years old.

ka, while bound for Milwaukee, and
sank, with the loss of the lives Of
295 passengers. Spencers feat of res
cuing II persons was cOmmemOrated
by the class of 1898, which erected
bronze memorial tablet in the Orring-
ton Lunt library at the university June
3, 1908.
AS Spencer sank with exhaustion on
completing his final trip through the
breakers and the surf, he asked the
question inscribed in the tablet, did
do my best?" His experience left
him broken in health and he went to
California to recuperate. He lived
there until his death.

ADAMSON ACT
Constitutional
SUPREME COURT RULES CON-
GRESS HAS RIGHT TO RAISE
PAY AND FIX HOURS.
E|CHT-HOUR STANDARD
DECISION COMES LOSE on
HEELS OF RAIL SYSTEMS SIGN
ING AGREEMENT.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The Adamson eight
hour railroad law was held constitu-
tional and valid in all respects Mon
day by the Supreme Court.
The decision makes eight hours the
standard of a days work and wages
for men in operation of trains and le-
galizes the wage increases which
went into tentative effect on it's pass
age.
The decision was five to four. JUS
tees Day, Pitney and Vandevanter
announced their dissent from the
bench and later Justice McReynolds
announced his.
Justice McKenna concurred in the
majority opinion, but on slightly diff
ferent grounds. Justice Day read his
own dissenting opinion and Justice
Pitney delivered the other dissenting
opinion, in which Justice Vandevan-
ter joined.
Federal Judge Hooks ruling in the
Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad
test case, enjoining enforcement of
the Adamson act and holding it "un-
constitutional, null and void," was
reversed.
The court made the most radical
advance in it's history when it ruled
that employees of public service or
ganizations have not the right to
strike in concert
''That right declared Chief JUS
tice White, 'is necessarily surren-
dered when the men are engaged in
public service. They are comparable
to soldiers in the ranks, who, in the
presence of enemies of their country,
may not desert"
The decision followed the adjust
ment of the strike situation, in which
the railroads agreed to an eight-hour
day with ten hours pay, and time and
one-eighth for overtime.
The decision upholding as constitu-
tional all features of the Adamson act
entails:
Permanent establishment of work
day of eight hours as a measure or
service of train operatives.
Temporary but immediate increase
of about rs per cent in wages, during
not less than seven nor more than
eleven months beginning Jan. 1st last,
of about 100000 trainmen, mostly of
the brotherhoods of engineers, fire
men, conductors and brakemen and
those principally in freight service.
Comparatively few passenger train
men were given immediate benefit by
the law.
Cost to the railroads of such tenn
porary increase of from $40,000,000
to $5O,O0O,00O, as estimated by the
brotherhoods. Future additional cost
of permanent eight-hour-day scale
was $100,000,OOO annually, with pros
pective additional wage demands from
100000 other employees now not ben
Gifted by the Adamson law.
Vast extension of congressional au-
thority in federal regulation of COM
mon carriers, with power to author
ize wage fixing by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.

junction suits, in virtually every fed
eral District Court, to enjoin the laws
