WASHINGTON, August 9.-Solicitor-G Gene
raj Aldrich. acting Attorney General, has
informed the Navy Department that the
provisions of tho eight-hour law are appli-
cable to the contract for the construction
of the dry dock at the brooklyn navy-yard.
The question in the case was a technical
one. John Gillies, of Brooklyn, was the
lowest bidder and was awarded the contract
for the construction Of the dock. This was
prior to the passage of the eight-hour law,
but before the contracts were formally exc
euted the act was signed and became law.
Solictor-General Aldrich holds that as
the contract had not been completed at the
time of the approval or the act it must
necessarily come within its royisons.
The Navy Department has not yet de-
cided whether new bids win be called for or
whether Mr. Gillies will be allowed the
privilege of doing the work.
