WORK AT THE NAVY YARD.

Five hundred and sixty mechanics, laD0rors
and others are employed in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
On Monday IN accordance with instructions from Secre-
tary of the Navy Thompson the workmen were informed
that ten hours would constitute days work hereafter
consequently they wouli be expected to begin WORK Mt
A. n and stop at %. IN. This change was the result
OF decision of the Supreme Court OF the United States
:he Navy Department has Xod tho rate OF labor on The
basis OF ten hours day; all wormcn clcctng 10 labor
only eight hours day will receive pr0poruonate re
ducton OF wages The Supreme Court claims that the
ac of Congress declaring that eight bours shall consi
tute "a days work for ali laborers or wOrbmcn -
employed 10y or on behalf ~ the Government OF the
United States is contract with laborers to that
effect and does prevent the officers OF the Cover
ment from making agreements with labofers by
which the days labor may he more or less than
eight hours nor does it prescribe the amount of com2e
sali0u % Gc aId the labor OF Cght hours ol OF any
