s-HoUR LAW FOR CITY EMPLOYEES.
Applies Only to Men Hired as Laborers or
Mechanics TO Work by the Dny.

Corporation Counsel Whalen's opinion on the
scope and effect OF tho Eight Hour Labor law.
as applied to employees under the city govern
ment. was sent Yesterday to Commissioners
Lantry of the Department Of Correction and to
President Clausen Of the Department Of Parks
Mr. Whalcn says that ii Is apparent that the
term employee as used In the labor law re-
fers only to mechanics or laborcrs. He decides
that keepers in institutions are not mechan-
les. workinRmon or laborers and are not en-
braced in the labor law Continuing he says:
This. however. is only true OF employees
who are legally appointed to FIJI the office Of
keeper. and not of persons who are appointed
to other positions and are detailed to perform
keepers duties You state that there are
many employees on the payIolls Of the institu-
lions designated as mechanics who perform
the duties Of Keepers. and you give me long
list Of persons such as pilots. engineers, paint
ers. tinsmths. gardeners. &r. If these persons
are appointed as mechanics they should do
mechanics work and receive mechanics pay.
and it is more than doubtful whether you
have except in the case Of very great emcr-
gency, any right to rnll upon these mechanics
to do other than mechanics work,
After quoting n decision Of the Appellate bi-
vision OF the supreme Court. to the effect that
a man hired as "a painter in tho Department of
Street Cleaning, but detailed as IA driver, can
not demand II painters wages. Mr. Whal"n
says; .-..,.
Is Illegal to detail at any time a mechanic to do
other kinds Of work, but where tho alleged
mechanic never in fact does a mechanics work.
hut performs the duty Of another position, II is
evident that this Is not detail. but simply an
evasion of II statute"
Mr. ,Whalen SAYS that the law is loosely drawn
and obscure. but that its intent is TO protect
the class Of citizens who might find II difficult
to protect themselves ; that is. those who work
by the day. 1t is intended, he says, TO require
the payment to them Of Jhe prevailing wage.
Then he says
where. however. an employee is hired by
the month or 10y the year. instead OF blythe day.
do not believe that the statute IN its pro
visions rs to the number OF hours of work or
payment of the prevailing rate OF wages for
days work applies; To comply. therefore.
with the law it will he necessary for YOU to en-
amin" into the matter and TO r"adjust your
schedules of payment so that persons whose
duties are those Of ordinary day lahorers me-
chanlcS and wOrkmen snail be employed by
the day and receive the prevailing rate of
wages for davs work. This will not prevent
your paying monthly or yearly salaries to alt
classes of persons who from the nature Of their
EMPLOYMENT are not usually hired by the day
and do not do work which can be measured by
agivon number Of hours. | am aware that
this distinction is difficult one to draw in
some cases. but ! think that you will be
Obliged to do so under the law"

MEXICAN DEBT REFUSDISG.
Amount or tho New Bonds Likely to BE
Something Over 500. 900, 900.

As to the contract that has been signed under
which ]. p Morgan & Co. OF this city and others
undertake the conversion OF the entire foreign
debt Of the republic Of Mexico. Antonio Leon
GraIeda acting Consul General OF Mexico here.
said Yesterday:
The exterior debt OF Mexico amounts to
Sl0a50". 544. payable in gold and the interior
debt. payable in Mexican silver currency. to
$1O3"7a. 7O3 %. The floating debt OF the re-
public. payable in Mexican money. amounts to
about 81 100000. The interior debt will not
be disturbsd by the conversion OF the foreign
debt. The new loan will be a trife more than
the amount Of the outstanding external debt.
OF course. It is not definitely known what
the amount of the new debt will be or the rate
of interest. for the reason that Congress con-
ferred upon the President power to refund the
debt without stipulation as to the rate OF
interest.
THE new bonds will not be the first Mexican
bonds to be foated here. There were issued
in the sixties WI al were known as the Wood.

that name in this city The issue was made to
raise funds for the conduct OF the Franco
