DID NOT WORK OVER EIGHT HOURS
Evidence Against Contractor O'Brien
Too Thin for the Commissioner.

Evidence Against Contractor O'Brien
Too Thin for the Commissioner.
The charge against Michael o'Bren Of
working his men more than eight hours a
day in grading and digging cellars for the
new government buildings at Port Or
chard was not sustained in the hearing
before United States Commissioner Emery
yesterday and the prisoner was released.
The testimony was by no means so
strong as the commissioner had been led
to believe. Thomas O'BTien. one or the
laborers named in the complaint as haV-
ing worked overtime, swore that he had
never worked for O'Brien more than eight
hours a day. Richard Kerns. another la
borer named in the complaint, was alb
sent. J. W. Phillips. who furnished the
evidence on which the complaint was
made out, was very uncertain IN his test-
mony. He could not even say positively
that O'Brien had contract. He had seen
some Of OBrien's men working overtime,
but was not sure but that they might be
doing extra work for some one else.
When did you first learn about this
eight-hour law?' asked United States Dis
trict Attorney BTinker
About three years ago" replied the
witness.
why were you so slow in giving infor-
nation here? Why did you wait a whole
month";"
OBren that ! was aiming 10 reach, at
all. I have no i'll feeling towards him, and
would rather lose my rent than see him
convicted. When l came 10 Seattle yes
terday I had no idea OF filing a complaint
against him. / wanted to make ii warm
for the Zindorf Construction Company
and the New York Bridge Company (prob-
ably meaning the San Francisco Bridge
Company. and / am determined yet to
reach them If there is a law 10 do it. But
when ! laid the matter before the commits
sioner he thought the story warranted n
complaint against O'Brien."
Adam J. Holt's testimony was trife
more positive, but although he could say
that some of O'Rren's men had gone TO
work as early as O'Clock a. m. and some
Of them had worked later than O'Clock
2. m. he had not kept close enough watch
TO 80 they were the same men.
Commandant J. G. Morong. OF the navy
yard. shed some l.sht on the subject when
he said that all four Of the large COM
panies at work on the government build
ings occasionally worked for twcnty-four
hours consecutivsly. running three shifts
OF men for eight hours each.
Tho case was not argued. the United
States district attorney expressing doubt
whether a case had heen made out. and
the commissioner discharged the prisoner.
Mr. Phillips was seen afterwards. and
was positive in his statement that both
the Zindorf Construction Company and
the bridge company had worked twenty
four hours daily with two shifts Of men.
instead Of three. Capt Morong stated
that this had never been done 70 his
knowledge. and that he thought Philips
was mistaken "Of course" ne said.
there are some duties connected with the
bridge company which resemble those of
scamen: but Il has been held that the
eight-h0ur law does not apply 20 sailors
on board a uan-of-war where the men
arc at sea or on board the vessel all the
time"
