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.

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." BRYAN CAMPAIGNEO II HIS NATIVE STATE WAHOO, Neb.
