The following Interpretation OF the change IN
the law is given in The Eagle:

The following Interpretation of the change IN
the law is. given in The Eagle:
II would seem to lie patent that the intention Of
the LegIsla lure Is to secure TO mechanics work
men and leborers employed by contractors on pub
for similar days work in the same trade or occu-
patton IN the locality.
Second-That Il has absolutely no application TO
person employed as day laborer by city; and
Thtrd-That under conditions has IL any applt-
cation 10 an employe who receives compensation
fixed sum, payable either monthly, weekly or
annually, and not per diem wage.
Fourth-That the existing conditions are such as
TO Justify the bringing of taxpayers action 10 re-
strain the payment OF all claims for prevailing
rate OF wages from May L. 1899.
Corporation Consul Whaen said last evening:
have read The Eagle story very carefully. and
am familiar with the laws and authorities referred
TO therein. | am amused to notice that the writer
has cited against decision of the Court of
Appeals handed down last June, written by Jus
tice Nann and conCurred in by all of the other
judges. In that case | represented the city and
secured a decision which protected IT from the pay
ment OF claims for extra work and Sunday work
in the Street Cleaning Department amounting TO
thousands OF dollars ] refer the case of Terrell
agt the Mayor. reported in Volume 15S page 239
The statement that | overlooked the amendment
TO the Labor law made in 1899 is quite ridiculous as
cision of the Court Of Appeals in my own favor in
case in which appeared for the city. My opin-
ion OF the effect of the of 1899 has already been
stated-months ago. l believe the view then ex-
pressed to be correct. At the present time I must
decline enter into newspaper controversy on a
legal question The OF 1899 simply amends the
earlier law by extending its scope. 1t IS absurd 10
describe II as repeating law.
