. ? I FEDERAL DEI | FOR Al Kj.v, , v s No Offer So Far to Combine A?saults in Single Test Case of il' . Law. r' Washington, Nov. 21.?Suits by railroads attacking the constitutionality of the eight hour railroad law >V were filed today in many parts of the ' . country and the department of justice laid plans to defend them. No offer has yet been made by the railroads to settle the question by one test case. It was stated officially that Attorney General Gregory has made no such proposition to the roads Janorhnorit io nlanninp to aiiU W1V UV|/M4 V ? y 0 contest each suit as it comes up for hearing. Assistant Attorney General Underwood will have direct charge of the government's defense and fr-. Frank Hagerman of Kansas City has been retained to assist him. Mr. Underwood expects to appear personally in most of the cases, but their number may make it necessary to employ t&'|> ' other special counsel. Information so far reaching the department shows that the railroads base their prayers for temporary reV straining orders against the law becoming effective on the ground that it is unconstitutional and capable of enforcement. Claim it is Constitutional. t The government will resist these contentions and assert that congress had ample power to enact such legislation. I The department tonight issued this (statement: "A large number of suits attacking the constitutionality of the Adamson law have been instituted in various parts of the United States. The department of justice will take direct; charge of these cases and Frank Hagerman of Kansas City, Mo., has been retained to assist in their preparation and trial." Prompt and final decision by the supreme court of the constitutionality of the law is possible under fed eral court practice, it was stated today by lawyers familiar with federal ft,.V procedure. Under accepted practice trict courts where test suits are trict ocurts where test suits are ?; , brought the district judge might call ?? *: in one or two district or circuit judges, to sit with him in the case. g?' . Direct to High Court. Ky- , After a decision by such a court, it was stated that, as the constitutionality of an act of congress is E?v;. drawn in question, an appeal could be taken direct to the supreme court fj without delay for its consideration Wy.by a circuit court of appeals. ^ ^ , Should a test case or cases be appealed to the supreme corut, it was [ believed here that, despite congestion of important cases on its docket, the . court would advance the Adamson I Pre-Than I Each < rek I ir.

RESUME OPERATION AT THE GLUCK MILLS r Anderson, Nov. 21.?After being idle since the middle of last August t the Gluck mill resumed operations this afternoon after dinner hour. The management was informed that 74 operatives would report for vork, but only 14 or 15 were at their posts r when the machinery started up. The strikers gathered in groups - and argued with the strikebreakers against going in the mill. Sheriff Ashley was ] with the strikers and it is said that he also pleaded with the strike-breakers to stay out of the mill. The complement of the mill is 300. The man- ] agement states positively that the mill machinery will be kept running now since it has been started up.
