STABILITY Of such a coalinE station in the pos

Of South America has been more keeny realized
in the last year than ever before on account Of
the rapidly increasing trade between the Atlantic
and the Pacific and the frequent changes naval
vessels are compelled 70 make between the two
oceans The long cruise has been twice per-
formed by the Oregon within year. and last
winter the Iowa had to be sent around from
New York TO San Francisco.
Emphasis TO the matter was recently given ny

meeting with head winds in the South Pacific on
the way from Montevideo TO Valparaiso. had to

EIGHT HOUR LAW AT NAVY YARDS.
NEW DOCTRINE ANNOUNCED BY THE JUDGE
ADVOCATE GENERAL.

A NEW DOCTRINE ANNOUNCED BY THE JUDGE
ADVOCATE GENERAL.
Washington. Aug. THE Navy Department has
rendered a decision constituting the eight hour law
that will be Of Importance 10 all labor interests as
well AZ to Government contractors. The com
mandant Of the Washington Navy Yard recently
asked authority from the Department 10 permit
the contractor who is building the new gunshops
in the yard employ his workmen ten hours
day In support OF this application II was said tnat
In the progress OF the work the operation or the
machinery was 10 be stopped, and the moor was
being damaged by exposure 70 rains.
The Judge Advocate Generals Department has
pointed out that the law permits the employment OF
workmen on Government works for more than
eight hours a day only in case OF extraordinary
emergency" and then lays down new doctrine IN
the construction Of this law. as follows:
Tnasmuch as the conditions reported are such as
must have been foreseen when the contract was
made and are such as necessarily exist 10 greater
or less degree whenever work Of the character re-
ferred to is In progress the Department. is OF the
opinion that the cannot be regarded as one OF
extraordinary emergency. In cases OF this char-
acter Il would appear that II the pubic properly
cannot be sufficiently projected from Damage oiher-
wise the proper remedy would be 20 employ torGe
OF men in relays by which means the work could
be expedited much more effectively.
