GORE FACES SERIOUS OPERATION ADAMSON ACT 1§ | NOT CONFISCATORY Atty. Hagerman Claims Comis- sion Exercises Similar Acts Washington, Jan. 10.—final argu- ments over constitutiondlity the Adamson law were heard today in the supreme court, with special Assistant Attorney G. Hagerman closing the case for the The jus- tices continued to question the attor- neys as they did yesterday. Maintaining power of congress to pass the law, Mr. Hagerman said it can be operated temporarily as the in- terstate commerce commission tempo- rarily regulates rates. Adsd “Is there any law of that kind? asked Justice McKenna. “It's dn_ne by the interstate commerce commis- slon in daily practice,” said Mr. Ha- german. “There is no claim that this law is confiscatory,” the attorney continued. “It's done by the interstate com- merce commission in daily practice,” of government. sald Mr. Hagerman. “There’s no claim that this law is confiscatory,” the attorney continued. “Congress acted in its discredition, a discretion with which the judiciary has no power to interfere.” “Oh, no one claims that the court suggests its discretion for that of con- gress;"” interrupted Chief Justice White. Not Meant to Go So Far. When Mr. Hagerman said the legal presumption—all presumptions—are in favor of validity of an act of con- gréss, the chief justice interjected: “I don’t belleve it means to go that far—not all presumptions but every reasonable presumption.” The federal employers’ liability, hours of service, pilotage and other laws were cited by Mr. Hagerman as precedents of the attention of con- gress to contracts of employes. When Justice Pitney asked those laws were not a halo to rate regulation, Mr. Hagerman said: “I'll SENATOR THOMAS P. GORE Senator Thomas P. Gore of Okla- homa, who has been ill at his home in Washington for several days, was taken to a hospital for an X-ray ex- amination to determine whether a major operation would be necessary. Since his election as senator from the new state of Oklahoma in 1907 - the career of the blind legislator has been watched with interest by the Ameri- can public. Despite his affliction (he has been totally. blind. since he was eleven .years old).the Oklahoma sen- ator has been one of the leaders of the senate democrats.. He was forty- six years old on December 10, WOUNDED RETURN. Berlin, Jan. 10, by wireless to Say- ville.—Of the total number of officers and men in the German army who were. wounded during the second year if admit the question in this case goes a little farther than you have here- tofore decided.” “The court called attention to the fact that pilotage stands ‘on peculiar grounds because of the character of the employment, the chief justice in- terrupted. Power to Regulate Prices. Justice Pitney asked of congress had power to regulate the price which railroads shall pay for coal, cars and engines, “I want to know if there is any vested right in private property the line between private operation and public regulation,” said Justice Pitney. “an congress force . men to work against their will for wages they may not be satisfled with?” Mr. Hagerman emphatically gave his individual opinion that congregs has powers to enact compulsory arbi- tration legislation, if necessary for the movement of trains, and the court has said the men are a part and par- cel of movement. In everything that concerns the movement of trains and engines, cars and’ what not, congress is supreme with power to regulate anything that deals with the move- ment of commerce. Congress has the right to remove or prevent obstruc- tions of commerce, whether by com- pulsory arbitration of a strike or the bold threats of last September to stop carrying freight in anticipation of a strike. Public Interested. In the interest of efficient and safe transportation the attorney argued the public has an interest in em- ployes recelving an adequate wage. Regarding the power of congress to prevent sipikes, Justice McReynolds asked: “Ts there no limit in what congress can do to stop a strike? In the Dees case, could congress have or- dered the railroads to pay Mr. Dees $50,000, to stop a strike?” “That’s putting it pretty fierce, but I believe congress could,” Mr. Ha- german answered. “Or you don’t mean that” Justice Vandeventer interjected. ‘‘That min- imizes and detracts from everything you've said. Asserting that railroads ‘“need not be afraid of the United States” and turning to the railroad lawyers, Mr. Hagerman closed by quoting, amid general laughter, a quotation from “Billy” Sunday as follows: “While the light still burns the vilest sinner may return.” MRS, PERKINS DEAD.
