Strikers and Their Friends
Insist Tint They Arc Not
Responsible.
NEW YORK.—Hurled into the en
closure where 250 taxicabs belonging
to the N>" York Taricah company
wore stored in the lot from Fifty-sixth
to Fifty seventh street, on Eighth ave
nue, a dynamite bomb exploded early
Wednesday with terrific force. Hun
dreds were roused from their beds
and the entire neighborhood was
thrown into excitement. The explo
sion was heard for many blocks.
Police reserves from the Wes* Forty
seventh street station were hurried to
the scene. The Victoria hotel was
attacked by a crowd and a stone was
hurled through the dining-room win
dow. A fight aud a long chase fol
lowed.
Officials of the company describe
the bomb hurling as a desperate at
tempt to .'Stroy the vehicles of the
company ou the strikers and their
sympa' .ser* insist that the explosive
was t.hrewn either to create the im
pression that the strikers are resort
ing to desperate means to win their
car'. or that some porson in a tnis
gul id effort to aid the strike cause
wat responsible.
TV explosion, though doing small
darnt te to the taxicabs in the lot,
tore t hole in the ground and shoo\
many buildings in the neighborhood.
The West Side branch of the Y. M.
C. A. building adjoins the lot. which
formerly was the field used by the
Manhattan Athletic club. In the Y.
M. C. A. building 600 persons were
asleep when the bomb exploded. They
leaped from their beds and scrambled
about in fright, when the farce ot
the explosion shook the structure.
Hundreds of others in the neighbor
hood were aroused.
The bomb was hurled over the 20-
foot fence which surrounds the field.
It landed 20 feet inside the inclosure,
but away from the big tent in which
the taxicabs were stored.
Seventeen special policemen, em
ployed to ride with the strike-break
ers on the vehicles, were op the oth
er side of the tent, and though they
felt me force of the explosion, none
of them was injured.
Wild excitement followed the re
port. The strike-breakers hurried to
the Fifty-seventh street side of the
enclosure and their shouts aroused
persons in the neighborhood. Within
a few minutes a great crowd gathered
and attempted to force its way
through the gates of the enclosute.
They were not allowed to enter, and
reports spread that many had been
killed.

LABOR Li EIGHT
Hill CLAUSE SIS
THE COURT OF APPEALS HAS
DECIDED UNANIMOUSLY
THAT THE SECTION
WAS GOOD
PUBLIC WORKMEN
None of Them Should Be
Employed for a Longer
Period in One Day.
ALBANY. N. Y —The court of ap
peals lias decided unanimously that i
tile section of the labor law, known as '
lho eight hour clause, was valid and '
dial no workman upon public work !
should be employed for a longer pc
rioil in any one day. It also decided
that any contractor who works his
men longer than eight hours luvali-j
dates his contract,
Ihe question was raised In the;
action brought hy the Williams En
gineering and Contracting company, |
against Comptroller Herman A. Metz,
of New York, to compel him to pay -
the company about $14,000 on a con
tract for the completion of sewers In
the Bronx. The comptroller refused
payment on the ground that the con I
tractor had violated the labor law In I
that ho employed his men more than
eight hours a day and did not pay Ihe
privilege rate of wages.
The court, of appeals reverses the
lower court's decision, which directed
(he Issue of a peremptory writ of
mandamus for the payment of the
amount demanded by the company.
The highest court Is unanimous In its
decision. Nearly $700,000 la involved
in this contract.
In an opinion by Judge Vann, refer
cnee Is made to the amendment made
to the constitution, and which took
effect January 1, 1906 giving the leg
islature power to regulate and Itx the
wages or salaries, the hours of work
or labor, and make provision for Urn
protection, welfare and safety of per
sons employed by the state nr by any
county, city or municipality, or by
contractor or sub-contractor perform
ing work for a municipality. Then
going Into the re-enactment of the
material part of the labor law which
had previously been declared uncon
slltutlonal. Judge Vann says Dial iti
I this raae-the court confines-Its atten
jtlon to that section of the law which
prohibits employes from working
more than eight hours In any one
day.
"The legislature now has the power
and had when tlm present law was
enacted,” says the opinion In part, "to
fix ami regulule the hours of labor on
public work by limiting them to eight
hours In one calendar day. And to
provide that when that limit Is ex
reeded no officer of state or municipal
government shall he permitted to pay
therefor from funds under his official
control. We do not uphold the labor
Irw as constitutional to the limited
extent that we pass upon It at all, hut
It Is authorized by the police power
which belongs to the slnte, for we can
not see that It bears any reasonable
relation to the public health, safety or
morals. We uphold the statute aim
ply because the people have so amend
ed the constitution as to permit such
legislation."

he had founded. Having placed this
upon a stable foundation, Dr. Oilman
