ADAMSON FALLACIES.
The Adamson bill which was
forced through Congress by Pre
sident Wilson to prevent the rail
road strike, is the subject of con
siderable discussion of late. If
Congress has the authority to
enact laws to increase the wages
of one class of employees, that
body must also have the author
ity to increase the wages of oth
er classes of employees. Like
wise, if Congress has author
ity to enact laws increasing wag
es, it follows that it can also re
bers and employes, and rent, furniture,
ofllco fixtures and supplies, books, sal
arles and other necessary expenses,
tho sanio to bo approved by the chair
man ot said commission and audited
by tho proper accounting officers of
tho treasury.
"Section 3. That pending tho report
of tho commission herein provided for
and for a period of 30 days thereafter.
tho compensation of railway employes
subject to this act for a standard
.75 j oight-hjiur'work day shall not bo ro
.50 duced below tho present standard day's
wage, and for all necessary time In
excess of eight hours such employes
uhall be paid at a rate not less than
the pro rata rate for such standard
eight-hour work day.
"Section 4. That any porson violat
ing any provision of this act shall bo
guilty of mldcmoanor and upon con
viction shall be fined not less than
$100 and not moro than $1000, or im
prisoned not to exceed ono year, or
both."
Apparently the editor of the
"West" did not read the text of
the Adamson law very carefully.
The law was rushed through
congress faster than ordinary
legislation, but it also received
much more serious considera
tion in the House and in the Sen
ate than ordinary legislation.
The average bill in congress re
ceives its usual number of read
ings and is then voted on withi
little discussion.
The editor also blames the
President of the United States
and Congress of enacting class
legislation. Under the consti
tution of the United States con
gress has power to regulate and
legislate only in matters con
cerning inter-state commerce.
It has no power to meddle in in-

The text of the act is as follows:
"An act to establish an eight-hour
day for employes engaged In interstate
and forelghn commerce, and for other
purposes:
"Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assem

eight hours shall, in contracts for la
bor and service, be deemed a day's j

a day's work for the purpose of recK

state railroads. There is per
haps only one other class of em
ployes in this country that our
national law making body could
either aid or handicap, they are
workers on inter-state steamers.
If the wages of other laborers
are to be regulated it will have
to be done by the state legisla
tures. Neither congress nor the leg
islatures of the states have the
right to regulate wages except
under the police powers granted
by the Federal and state consti
tutions. The Adamson law was
passed to protect the Interests
of the American people. It was
not made to aid a few hundred
thousand workers in (one occupation.

Note the Contrast
We are modern and up-to-date
in our methods and ma
chinery. The old way was good
enough in its day, but it is
now out of date. ,
We aim to give your Print
ing the same up-to-dateness
that marks the difference be
tween "The New Way" and
"The Old Way."
This change in character will make it a
source of profit instead of a bill of expense.
We solicit a trial order.
