- G-HOUR LAW
Suits Filed by Several Railroads
in United States Court
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 10.—=Suit
[was filed in the federal court here
‘this afternoon by the Louisvilie
and Nashville Railroad Company
for the purpose of testing the con
stitutionality of the Adamson law
which fixed an eight-hour work
day for trainmen engaged in op
erating trains in interstate traffic.
The suit names as defendants
‘ Perry B. Miller, United States at
‘torney for the western district of
Kentucky, Thomas D. Slatterly,
‘United States attorney for the
-eastern district of Kentucky, and
four Louisville and Nashville em
ployees, representing engineers,
firemen, -conductors and train
men. i
Chicago, Nov. 10.—All rail
roads of the country are consid
ering filing injuction suits attack
ing the Adamson law as was done
by the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific here today, and previously
in other states by the Union Pa
cilc and the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe, according to Vice
President Sewall, of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul.
Kansas City, Nov. 10.—With
the excitement and stress of the
national election at least tempor
arily side-tracked, Western raii
road magnates today turned their
attention to the Ight that shortly
is to be waged in the Missouri
courts on the Adamson eight-hour
law. |
The bills were filed by the San
ta Fe, whose president, E P. Rip
ley, so bitterly epposed tha Lill,
and the Union Pacific. The legal
battle will be staged in the Fed
eral Court here. District Attorney
Fred Robertson and several train
employees are made defendants.
R. I. Asks for Injunction
Chicago, Nov. 10.—The Chica
go, Rock Island and Pacific Rail
road, which for more than a year l
has been in the hands of a re-.
ceiver, under Federal supervision,
today formally asked the United
States Government whether it
should obey the mandates of the
Adamson eight-hour law.
The Rock Island’s action was
in the form of a perition, filed in
Judge Carpenter’s Federal Court,
asking for instructions in the mat
ter of obeying the law.
The petition asked that District
Attorney Charles R. Cline, of
Chicago, and District Attorney C.
E. Knotts, of Springfield, be re
auired to make answer to the pe
titions. e o 8 Y
Judge Carpenter set December
4 for a hear’g.
The petition today places the
Government in a peculiar position
inasmuch as it is in effect the
Government asking the Govern
ment whether it shall obey the
laws. The Rock Island has been
to all practical purposes a Gov
ernment operated railroad gsince
it went into the hands of a _receiv
er. Jacob M. Dickinson, receiv
er of the road, and former Secre
tary of War, filed the petition to-|
day. }
