THEY REFUSE TO WORK LONGER. AND so
RESERVOIR AND DAM ARE DELAYED,
Commissioner William H. Ten Eyck. in reply to
charges made by the Merchants Association that
work the Croton Dam and the Jerome Park
Reservoir not being pushed as rapidly pos
sible. said:
I'VE have been finding it difficult TO keep the men
at work a ten hour day schedule The con-
tract for the Jerome Park reservoir signed
several years ago, and gave the contractors the
privilege OF working their men ten hours a day.
Last winter the legislature passed a law limiting
city work eight hours day. The shortening
of the legal days labor by statute has worked
confusion in continuing the work the Jerome
Park reservoir and the Croton dam. The contract
ors take one view Of the power of the city TO
force the eight hour law, and the men take radl-
cally different view. No doubt the matter will final
ly be adjusted by the Board of Estimate and Ap-
portionment.
