S.HOUR Law upheld
BY SUPREME court
Adamson Measure Held Constitutional
by Vote of 5 to

With far-reaching consequences as re-
CARDS future contests between capital and
labor In interstate commerce. the Su-
preme Court yesterday. by a five-to-four
vote. held the Adamson eight-hour law
constitutional
It was made quite clear In the majority
opinion, and also In the dissenting opin-
ion of Justice McReynolds, that compul-
sorry arbitration of disputes which may
threaten the country with paralyiza tion
Of commerce. lies within the power Of
Congress.
In his oral opinion-that Of the majority
Chief Justice White declared that in the
face OF public necessity employees Of
corporation engaged In such a public
business as railroading had no more right
to strike than soldiers in the ranks in
the presence Of an enemy has the right
to desert.
Briefly summed up, the line of thought
actuating four of the five justices who
concurred In the majority opinion is that,
while the question of wages and condi-
tions Of labor are essentially subject to
agreements between employer and en-
ploye. in view Of the fact that the rail-
roads are privately owned, yet when a
failure to agree threatens the public with
a calamity, the public nature OF the rail-
road business. justifies Congress in step
ping in and solving the dispute by statute.
McReynoIds Dissents.
A vigorous dissenting opinion was read
by Justice McReynolds.
"Whatever else the act Of September
,, 1916, may do" Justice McReynolds
said, at certainly commands that dur
ing minimum period OF seven months,
interstate common carriers by railroad
shall pay their employees engaged in op-
Grating trains for eight hours work,
wage not less than the one then es-
tablished for a standard day-generally
ten hours.
Il have not heretofore supposed that
such action was a regulation of COM
merce within the fair intendment OF
these words as used in the Constitu-
tion; and the argument advanced in sup
port of the contrary view is unsatis-
factory to my mind. / cannot, there
fore, concur in the conclusion that II
was within the power Of Congress to
enact the statute.
Can FIX Two Scales.
But. considering the doctrine now az
! firmed by a majority of the court as
established. 1t follows as of course that
Congress has power to fix a maximum
as well as a minimum wage for train
men; to require compulsory arbitration
of labor disputes which may seriously
and directly jeopardize the movemen,
of interest to traffic: and to take meas
ures effectively to protect the free flow
of such commerce against any combina-
tion. whether of operatives, owners. or
strangers"
Besides Justice McReynolds, the dis
| senting justices were Pitney, Vandevan.
ter and Day.
Justice McKenna. who agreed with the
conclusion of the majority that the
law was constitutional. did so on a dit
ferent ground. that the law was a ques-
ton of the regulation OF hours Of labor
This entire phase Of the dispute wa.
waved aside in the majority opinion, as
expressed by Chief Justice White. ana
concurred in by Justices Holmes Brandeis
and Clarke.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR.

Did it ever occur 10 you that every
movie actress you have seen has lovely
hair, while the most popular count their
curls as their chief beauty? In fact many
are leading ladies just because of their at
tractive locks. Inquiry among them
discloses the fact that they bring out
all the natural beauty of their hair by
careful shampooing, not with any soap
or makeshift, but with simple mix
'ture by putting teaspoonful of can
throx (Which they get from the drug
gist) in a cup of hot water and apply
ing this instead of soap. This full cup
of shampoo liquid is enough so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair instead
OF just the top of the head After its
use, the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear The hair is so fluffy that it
looks much heavier than it is. while
its lustre and softness is delightful

Just get a stick of phelactine from
your druggist. follow the simple directions
and see the hair roots come out, with
your own eyes. No depilatory or electri-
cal treatment can produce this result.
The skin is left soft, smooth and hair
