Show oo RAILROAD MANAGERS DID THE RIGHT THING. Did the supreme court "leak" and did the railroad managers know what the decision on the Adamson aw would be? Perhaps the officials did receire a quiet "tip." but they acted wisely, whatever prompted them u At 5 15 this morning, after two days of strenuous conferring, the railroads announced their willingness to yield to the demands for the eight-hour day, and five hours later the supreme i i court handed clown its reversal of Judge Hook, by declaring the entire Adamson law, hours of labor and wages, constitutional. With this country facing the most serious crisis since the Civil war, a railroad strike would have been an offense of-fense against the nation itself, intolerable in-tolerable and unjustifiable Fortunately Fortun-ately the calamity has been averted. |
