4 Clinton.-Headed by H. W. Seaman
and o. T. Roberts, committee OF cit
liens from Clinton, appeared before
the navy committee in st. Louis re-
Gently, which, headed by Rear Admir-
al Fletcher, is Investigating the avail
ability of sites for the proposed feder-
al armor plate plant, and offered the
government free of charge 1900 acre
island in the Mississippi river.
Seaman admitted that insofar as
transportation facilities went st. Louis
would be an ideal site, but said that
Clinton could present almost as good
transportation, and much better eli.
matte conditions for steel making.
Ninety-five per cent of the ores used
in steel making. he declared, are found
in the Lake Superior region, to which
Clinton has easy access.
One thing which other cities expect
to work against Clinton's chances is
the fact that it is outside the prescrib-
ed 200 mile military zone. That is, 1t
is within 200 miles of deep water
way, Lake Michigan, which would be
accessible to foreign foe.
Admiral Fletcher, however, stated
that should Clinton present advantag.
es to outweigh this drawback, the re-
striction will be removed.

ADAMsON LAW CONSTITUTIONAL

ADAMSON LAW CONSTITUTIONAL.
The Supreme Court has upheld the
constitutionality of the Adamson, or
eight-hour law which was hurriedly
enacted last summer to avoid threat
ened strike of railway train men.
Five of the nine Judges who decided
the case announced the law unquall-
fiedly, that the rights Of the public to
uninterrupted interstate railway ser.
vice were paramount to the rights OF
the railroads or the rights OF the
trainmen, and that congress has full
mower to enact all legislation neces.
sary to maintain the service to which
the public is entitled. .....
This decision puts an end to rail-
road strikes. The railroads and their
employees will be obliged to submit
their differences to an impartial arbi-
tration court and abide by the re-
suits. Should either side refuse to
comply with the award and attempt
to interfere with the higher rights
Of the public they will be sternly dealt
with by the public the same as any
