ADAMSON EIGHT HOUR Law UPHELD
NsUPREMECOURT, CONSTITUTIONAL

enforce penalties for non-obseryance
and that the railroads would keep &C
count OF wage increases due from
January /.
The railroad brotherhocds were not
parties to the stipulation nor to the
suit. and had 10 attorneys participat,
ing in the supreme court arguments
Power Of congress TO fix wages was
the basic principle contested The
department OF justice maintained
that for public interest in unobstructed
transportation, in efficient, safe train
operation by conserving energy Of op
eratives and having them paid fair
wages. Congress has authority TO fix
hours Of labor and wage standards.
Power Of Congress Cited ~
To the charge that the temporary
increase takes railroad property with.
out due process" the federal author
tiles contended Congress has such
power in preventing stoppage Of com.
merce, by a. strike or otherwise. Dis
turbance OF existing wage contracts
and negotiation of new ones. IL was
insisted, should not render the law
void, Congress authority being SUI
preme.
That the law is workable and con-
ceded by the railroads so to be was
asserted. BY substituting an S-hour
day stad1ard for the present general
freight service standard of lone hun
dred miles or less, ten hours or less
as q days work, the federal attorneys
said the law could be made operative,
either by speeding up trains to cover
the 100 miles in s hours or by paying
overtime Formulas to put this IL IL
miles per hour speed basis into ef-
feet were submitted to the court for
possible adoption iL constituting and
giving effect 10 the law.
Discrimination in favor Of train OPP
eratiyes only and the best paid of
these was said not to be arbitrary and
the penalties not unreasonable.
Wage regulation, the railroads con-
tended, was beyond Congress author
ity and not analogous to its rate regl-
lating power Actual increase in
rates must result from wage increases,
the railroads declared. Extension Of
congressional authority to wages, they
charged, would impair rights of .pri-
vate operation and also interfere with
freedom of contract.

ment was represented by Solicitor
