Dear Mr.. Bridges,
At a meeting held tonight under

that the men who are already liv-
ing on the project be called for
work before any others are brot

to us to bring new men in here
when there are now 1900 unem-
ployed men here.
Of course we don't want tC

Acts of 1885 InseparabIe
and Intended to Accom-
pIish Improper Purpose,
Justice Bailey Finds.
HIGH TRIBUNAL VERDICT
IN PREVIOUS CASE CITED
Decision Declares Taxing Provi-
sion to Raise Funds for Pensions
Is So Arbitrary as to Con.
stitute Violation of Due Process
Clauses.
BY WILLIAM S. TARVER.

Holding the two acts which COM
prise the 1885 railroad retirement leg
islation to be inseparable and intended
| to accomplish a purpose which the
Supreme Court declared improper in
an earlier decision, Justice Jennings
Bailey of the District Supreme Court
today declared the statutes uncon-
stitutional and enjoined their en-
| forcement.
He said the taxing act, by which
funds were to be raised for payment
by the Railroad Retirement Board of
pensions to railway employees reaching
the age of IS was so arbitrary as to
constitute violation of the due
process clauses of the Constitution.
He said it was clearly the intention
of Congress by the two acts to create
single system to replace the 1884
railroad retirement law. which was
declared unconstitutional by the SUE
| preme Court in May, 1885.
THE two taken together SO dove
tail into one another as to create
complete system, substantially the
same as that created by the railroad
retirement act of 1884" he said.
IF the intent of the two acts taken
together" he continued, ''iS to take
the property of one class for the
benefit of another and the taxing act
was not intended to provide for the
expenses of Government. but solely
for a purpose which the Supreme
Court has held not to be within the
domain of the Federal Government,
it would seem to be immaterial
whether funds raised by the tax act
are to be segregated in the Treasury:
that would be mse matter of book
keeping and wou.l not affect the
rights of the taxpayers"
Acts Held Inseparable.
He said the two acts were "insepara-
Bile parts of whole"
The attack on the retirement legis-
lation had been brought by 1876 major
railroads which later were joined by
other roads and rail enterprises,
bringing the total number up to 434,
practically complete representation
of the Nations carriers.
A group of Atlantic Coast Line em-
ployeS also joined as plalntlnS IN the
injunction suit, telling the court they
preferred their own pension system to
the compulsory retirement and PEN
sion plan provided by Congress.
The taxing act levied an excise tax
on the railroads of 312 per cent of the
compensation, not in excess of $500
month, paid by them to their employees,
and an income tax on each employe of
31a per cent of his compensation, not
in excess of $500 month. The COM
pulsory retirement act, passed the
same day, established a retirement
system for railroad employees reaching
the age of IS with maximum pension
of sl20 per month.
Terms Act Arbitrary.
Justice Bailey said the act was
arbitrary in that it did not show a
basis of measuring the amount of tax
nor why a tax should be levied on
the carriers and their employees and
on no other class of employers or
employees
The court enjoined the Railroad

ST.NAzA|RE NAVAL
WORKERS STRIKE
10000 Cease Work on All
French Ships and Hoist
Red Flags.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, June 26.-Naval shipyards
workers declared a general strike at
st. Nazaire today, hoisting red flags.
They stopped all work on new
units for the French navy and oc-
cupied the yards.
The strike movement involved TO-
900 employees and five yards-the
Loire, the De Penhoet, and the Loire
st. Denis dockyards; the st. Nazaire
foundries, and the West forges.
The strikers demanded immediate
pay increases and a 40-hour week.
Striking Marseilles sailors, whose de-
mands we're approved by ship opera
tors. held out today for signed con-
tracts before returning to work.
Occupy Vessels.
Naval strikers continued to occupy
their vessels, over which red flags still
flew.
The Federation of Labor came to the
aid of the government in its effort to
end the last of the folded arms
strikes" Workers were urged by the
federation not to call further walkouts
before all means of negotiations with
employers were exhausted.
Strikers who have occupied the
Nancy Gas Works for days were eject
ed upon order of the mayor.
Fresh settlements in various indus
tries brought the number of estimated
strikers down to 100000.
Bill Is Approved.
The cabinet approved a bill for
the naturalization of war industries
by decree, and planned to submit ii
Immediately to the Chamber of Depu-
ties.
Under the bill, the government
would be authorized to appropriate
all or part Of any factory manufac-
turing arms, buying up the stock al
its average value for the past seven
years and paying for it with special
government bonds.
Premier Blum's ministers also ap-
proved a big public works program
under which the treasury will be
asked to advance money, pending the
f1otation of loan for 100000, ,000
francs ($264, 900, ,000).
The government plans to spend one
quarter of this amount in 1886 in
rushing to completion the public
works program of previous govern
ments on which 1,000,8 100000 francs
