C, Jan. 8.- United States again will face a na- tional railroad strik crisis depends on , the supreme court's decision as to the j law's constitutionality, argument of ! which is being made before that tri- j bunal heTe today. The governmental and industrial j crisis of which this law is the out- growth is lokcd upon by leaders as a ; concrete showndown between the pow- j ers of labor and those of capital. i The measure was rushed through I congress last summer by President Wilson to ward off a strike of 400,000 railroad workers that would have tied i up transportation in this country and : gave promise of leading to conditions verging on civil war. This strike men- ; ace has not yet lce nobviated. ! . At the top of the calendar of the i United States supreme court today was the case No. 97; Frances M. Wil-1 son, United States atorney for the western district . of Missouri, versus Alexander New and Honey C. Ferris, receivers of the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad. Solicitor General Davis acted for the governor. Argument of the Adamson case wr.s begun after the court handed down its opinions for the day Monday being decision day in the court. There was little room for spectators in the tiny supreme court chamber. Attorneys were anxious for. legal reasons as well as out of curiosity to hear pleas of the array of lawyers appearing in the caso for railroads nnd the govern ment. In the first fight' before the court, railroad executives had the advantage of a favorable decision in the court be low, when Judge Hook, at Kansas City, declared the law, after a brief hearing, unconstitutional. That, how ever, was only preliminary. In to day's battle the supreme court will decide for nil time whether congress had the power to legislate wages, pro viding that eight hours shall consti tute day s work for railroad men, and that for work after that they shall be paid overtime premiums. What time will be taken by the court after today to decide the case no one knows.
