BOTH HOURS AND I:.' WAGE FIXING LAW
Pftney and Van Devanter Declare Congress Enacted Measure Before Investigating Fully as to Its Justi- nabaeness- F1les Opinion say- ing It Was Depslm4ioa' of Prop- x. x erty, uleS1l, ssys 16cHeynolds.

Washington, March IS.-The Adam < son eight hour railroad law was held < constitutional and valid in all respects
 today 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-
 eaIises the wage increases which went Into tentative effct on its passage.
 sf The immediate temporary wage in- creases won by the railroad employees affect 100000 trainmen. as of Janu- , ary and are estimated to total be- tween .$A0.o00.000 and $50.o00.000. The courts decision was five to \ four with Justices Day. Pitney. Mo Reynolds and Van Devanter dissent { ing.
 }, Justice McKenna concurred in the majority opinion, but on slightly diff
 own dissenting opinion, and Justice
 Pitney delivered the other dissenting sopinion in which Justice Van Devan- ter joined.
 Justice Day said in his dissenting 7 opinion on the ground that legislation amounted to deprivation of the rail- } roads property without due process of law.'
 Justices Pitney and Van Devanter. in ,. their joint dissenting opinion, held that the law should be held unconsti- ! tutional and void because congress, although confessedly not in possession Eof information necessary for intelli- &gent and just treatment of the con- ftroversy, arbitrarily imposed upon krailroads the entire and enormous cost {of an experimental increase in wages" In dissenting, Justice McReynolds kheld that congress did not have pow CT to enact the law but that the ma s jority of the decision gives 1t author ity to fix trainmen's maximum and minimum wages ''to require compu1- s sory arbitration of labor disputes which may seriously jeopardiae move-
 ment of trafIic, and to take measure
 effectively to protect the free flow of {. eouImerce against any combination, < whether of operatives, owners or strangers"
 e In concurring, Justice McKenna diff
 fered in that he believed the law ''an hours of service'' statute and only
 secondarily "a wage fixing law, and
 thus within the power of congress"

SILK HALF HOSE AND
ON ACCOUNT OF WAR
Laces and Ribbons To Go But
Bright COlOrs Will Give
Spirit of Uplift

Chicago, Aug. 2s.-The war was
brought home to the women of America
again today when it was announced
at the Fashion Art League that milady
must freeze her knees this winter.
The supply of silk is going to be con
served, it was said, by inducing women
to wear half hose.
The dictators of fashion weren t quite
sure why they should conserve silk
since the government is advocating its
use to replace wool. 1t was suggested,
however, that maybe the little silk
worms-being Chinese and now our al
ies-would thus be afforded a half day
off.
Madame Margaret OF Chicago was ex-
planning this innovation.
See for YOURSELF she said, and
tried to lead reporter to a group of
models. But he fled.
And-this paragraph is for women
only-what-d t-do-you-call- ems Cladies' b.
v. d.s) will be minus lace and ribbons.
Madame Allie Bailey of Chicago said
they'd be just as attractive, because
they would be made of bright, change
able colors.
Miss Ruth Steffey of Goshen, explain
ed the bright colors would "give spirit
and uplift to the wearer.'
Miss Edna johnson will demonstrate
tomorrow the proper way for a woman
to dress, donning her clothing on a
stage in the Auditorium hotel. Men will
be barred.

Mobilization Of "
New National Army
Mess Sergeant Is Boss
(By George Martin)

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Aug 2s.--Be good to the
Mess Sergeant. When you get to your
cantonment camp to be made over into
soldier, be good to him, for he will
be Lord High Commissioner of your
stomach and everything that goes into
it. He will be the arbiter of your cpl
eurean fate, and when, on entering the
mess tent, you see him standing there
in all his glory and a fresh white coat,
tug the foreloek and scrape the foot to
him, for he is more absolutely dictator
of your food than Herbert Hoover will
ever be.
He is the chief cook. He buys every
bite you eat. He writes the bill of fare
end dictates how you shall be fed. He
sees that your vegetables are properly
cleaned before they re cooked. He
fights your battles with the butcher,
to see that you get good meat. He hag-
giles with the hueksters TO see that you
get good green stuff. He gives the first
and second cook, the dining-room order
ly and the three cook 8 police their or
ders. He runs the whole shebang for
YOU and ninety-nine other rockies like
YOU. He works hard for you, all day
long and sometimes far into the night.
And so, if he checks up the plates and
spoons and things and finds you We lost
q couple, and charges you for them out
of your pay, don't grumble. He has to
do that.
Above all, don t get gay with him on
any account. He is responsible for your
orderly conduct in the mess hall. He Is
there to see that you arrive in the pro-
per quiet and orderly manner, with yonr
uniform neat and clean. He looks you
over, and if your hands are soiled OF
your face unelean, or your hair not pro
perly brushed, he sends You kiting back
to fix yourself up, just like Mother
used to do.
He sees that YOU sit properly at the
table, quiet and orderly, until your food
is passed to you. He won t stand for
any restaurant rought stuff, if you are
in the habit of pulling any. Loud talk.
ing and unnecessary noises viii bring
him down on you stiff-legged, kerplunk
He'll see that you fellow Hoover Is
advice about not wasting your food too
He's an apostle of the clean plate il
there ever was one. If you take more
ON your plate than You can eat, he II
nab you. You re welcome to all you
want to eat, but you re not welcome
to any to waste. Food left on plates can
never be used again. If it is left in the
serving dish, it can be dished up in
some other palatable form at another
meal.

ITALIANS DRIVING

ward from Monte Santo across the pla-
teau of Bainsizza is fast becoming a
debacle of defeat for Austria. The Aus
trian staff has decreed retiremcnts at
several places to save whole divisions
from flanking moves. The morale of
the retreating troops, constantly bat
tered by Italian, French and British
long range guns and attacking inces-
sanity by Italian fliers, is steadily de-
creasing.
New Austrian troops have been rush
ed to the places of the exhausted de-
tenders and are desperately but vain
ly striving to stem the flood of the
italian offensive, which burst through
when Monte Santo' s subjngation was
completed.
Today s front dispatches indicated
not only pursuit of the retreating Aus
trians across Bainsizza but attacks fur
ther south by the Italians at the chain
of rocky promontories of which kuk,
Monte Santo and the Vodiee are the
three largest.
Swiss dispatches brought word that
Austria is seething with discomfort,
Italy's victories are causing wide
spread alarm. The public, which had
regarded the pope's peace plea as GER
tain of acceptance is now realizing 1t
is foredoomed to failure.

Discussion of the measure has center

This is to attract subscribers of mod
