THE EucnT-nOuR ORDINANCE.

The eight-hous ordnance has been de-
ciared invalid by Judge Jacobs. II y
exceedingly fortunate that the decision
was delivered by Judge Of the political
persuasion TO which Hon. Orange Jacobs
temporarily belongs. There can PROB
ably be no doubt on the part OF any
body that the decision 10 Ia accordance
with law. partly because Judge Jacobs
IL very eminent lawyer. and partly
for other reasons.
II h sound law. because no ordinance
can Be passed by . city council whose
scope 10 wider than the charter pro-
vision under which II il issued. The ar
ticle Of the charter called into question
II ~ follows:
I'm al public works done By. or Tor
the city. either by days work or by
contract. eight hours shall constitute q
days work; and no empioye Of the city
on city works or of any contractor or
sub-contractor Of such work shall be
required to work longer than eight
hours In any one calendar day: provid-
ed. however. that this article shall not
be 80 construed AZ to In any manner ap-
ply TO or affect any contract entered
into by the city prior to the adoption
Of this charter. This article shall be
enforced by the city council by ordi-
nance"
The ordinance passed for the purpose
of carrying out this provision goes fur
Their than the charter, which only stip-
ulates that no employe shall be re
CURED to work longer than eight hours
In any one calendar day. The ordinance
says that he shall not be permitted to
work more than eight hours. There Is
quite a serious difference in the princi-
pie Of this distinction. although 1t must
wide difference In actual practice.
There IL this difference: That In
the one case the law says to a working
man that II he does not wish to work
more than eight hours the law will pro-
tect him and he need not: in the other
case the law says, you shall not work
more than eight hours whether you
want to or not This Is a matter entire
" for the workingmen themselves. II
the law says that a contractor shall
not require any emp!oye to work more
than eight hours he certainly cannot
compel him: and he IL. therefore. placed
outside Of the controversy. The aues-
ton then becomes one entirely for the
employe to settle. II he wants the law
to say that he shall not work more
than eight hours he has only to put It
In the charter. The trainers of the
charter have been more liberal to the
employe than some employees would be
to themselves: but II in the opinion OF
labor II IL better for them to be forbid
den 70 work more than eight hours, II
will be their privilege to vote It into the
organic law.
