District Cannot Prose-
cute Actions For
Violations.
TRADES RAISED The QUESTION
Complaint Made Because of Time
Worked by Employees of W. B. Moses
& Sons, Contractors, to Repair School
Furniture for the District.

Mr. E H Thomas. Assistant Corpora
tion Counsel, yesterday forwarded TO
the District Commissioners an opinion
relative to complaints made against the
firm OF W. b. Moses & Sons. contractors
to repair school furniture. because it
does not observe the ''eight-hour day
in working its employees. The com
plants emanated from the Building
Trades Council and from the Carpen-
ters' Executive Board. claiming the law
is violated and that the firm ought to
be enjoined from working mechanics
longer than eight hours a day on pub
lie work.
Mr.. Thomas states that he has been
informed that no written contract was
entered into between the District and
the firm mentioned for this work, but
that proposals were invited by the Board
of Education, and that Moses & Sons
were the lowest bidders, the work be-
ing done from time to time as it is
required By the Board.
Law as TO Public Work.
1t appears that the, existing law on
the subject is to be found in sections
S92 to s94 of the District Code, and it
restricts the employment OF all labor
ers and mechanics by the United States
Government or by the District of Co
lumbia. or by any contractor or sub
contractor upon any public works, TO
eight hours in one calendar day, and
declares it to be unlawful for any OF
the parties specified to require or per
nit any such laborer or mechanic to
work more than eight hours in one
calendar day. except in case OF extra
ordinary emergency. Violation of the
law thus stated involves a fine not 20
exceed $1,000 or Imprisonment not to
exceed six months or both.
1T is apparent" says Mr.. Thomas
that no duty is imposed upon the Dis
trict to employ direct or control any
laborer or mechanic employed in this
particular matter, and that the rela-
tion OF principal and agent between the
employees OF Moses &; Sons and the Dis
trict does not exist. The duty referred
to in this case is cast upon the con-
tractors, and they are amenable TO the
penalties of the law if they have in
tentionally violated it"
Mr. Thomas then discusses certain
decisions of the courts upon the sub
ject, including an action in the police
court of the city Of Buffalo. In the
cases considered in the District Mr..
Thomas shows that the right to pro-
ceed by criminal process against any
offending party. was recognized. An ar
gument is deduced leading to the same
conclusion from the case IN Buffalo.
i am OF the opinion, therefore" con

ESTEE CLOSES UP. PRIMO PLACES PAU
LICENSES BEGIN TO RUN OUT
NEXT MONTH.
All of the Twenty-Five Honolulu Beer
Saloons Will Probably Close by the
End Of September

The first of the Primo Saloon licenses
runs out next TUESDAY JuIy 4, and
Harry Klemme of the Aloha saloon in
hakaakO, VIII have to close up. Five
Utner PAGES whose licenses run out in
July VIII nave 10 close up atJer MIN,
ana in the following two months all OF
the twenty-five Primo licenses viii eN-
pre-.
There is nothing for the Primo Sa-
looms to 90 but smut down, says Treas
urer Wright. lie is enJOIned from
granting any more licenses or renew
ing those that are out and every one
OF the Primo Saloons Is OUTSIDE Of the
regular saloon limits, 50 that even
those who are wiling to pay thou
sand dollars for a license cannot keep
open. Under present conditions every
one of the twenty-five would have to
close up, but it is thought that the linn
its for regular saloons may be extend
ed to include a few of the locations.
In addition to Klemme's place the
following saloons lose their licenses
next month: c. Vessels, South and
Queen streets: j. r. Figueredo, Queen
and South streets; Il. 2. Sullivan, Iwi-
lei; II, Miyamoto, Kukui street. J. II.
! Thompson, Queen and Punchbowl
streets; Manuel d. Aguir, Luso and
PunchbOwL In August several more of
| the $3.50 licenses expire, and by the end
| of September all of them will be dead.
Treasurer Wright favOrs making new
| saloon limits in Kakaako and at the
other end of the town, in which few
! places may get full licenses, but this
! is a matter for the governor to decide.
| These proposed limits do not include
| the present Primo places. "COmpra-
| dor" CamarinOS will have to quit the
| Primo business under the present plan.
| hut Cammy proposes to make an effort
| to get a full license.
| The approaching expiration Of the
| Primo licenses makes it unnecessary
! to press the contempt proceedings
| against Wright. Wright was cited for
not cancelling the licenses already out,
| after Judge Estee had enjoined him
| from issuing such licenses. The mat
ter went over, however, pending a final
decision on the general issue as to the
| legality of licenses on appeal from Es-
tee. If the latter should be reversed,
the Primo licenses are all right, and
the Treasurer will be at liberty to re-
new those that are out or to grant as
many new ones as hewants.
| The regular saloons are looking for
| ward with pleasure to the closing Of the
| Primo places, in the hope that 1t means
more business for them. Recently near
ly all of them met the prices of the
| Primo places by cut to ten cents, and
ten cent beer is now the rule. With the
25 Primo places out Of the competition,
the other men are expecting better
business for themselves.

LATER NEWS
ALAMEDA WILL REACH PORT
TOMORROW.
She Has Five Days Later News and
Mail Aboard-Doric Likely to Arrive
From Orient.

Tomorrow will be quite a busy day
in water front circles The Alameda is
likely to arrive about noon from San
Francisco, with five days later news
and mail. 1t is more than probable
that the Alameda will be sighted ear
lier than usual in the morning, as she
was to have gone on the dry dock for
a cleaning during her present stop in
San Francisco, so she will probably
come down considerably under six
days.
The Mauna Loa is due to depart to-
morrow at noon on her regular run to
Lahaina, Maalaea, kona and Kau
ports. but it is very likely she may he
held little while, in order that she can
take the late mail aid newspaper files
| brought by the Alameda from the
Coast This will make the third time
in succession that the Mauna LOa has
departed on the day that the Alameda
has arrived from San Francisco.
The Gaelic is not due until Saturday
morning from San Francisco, although
she left the same day that the Alameda
did. The Gaelic may be run down i'm
less than seven day schedule, how
ever, and he sighted some time tOmor-
row night. This is hardly probable.
She will not bring any mail, however,
as the Alameda is certain to arrive
| here much sooner than the O. and O.
| boat, so the postal authorities have
| Raced the mail on the Alameda.
The Doric will probably come along
| tomorrow afternoon from the Orient
although she is not due until Saturday
morning. The Doric win probably not
have a very heavy cargo for this port
and she will no doubt get away for Sar
Francisco early Saturday morning
The island steamer Kaiulani is to sal
for HonOlua and Eastern Hawaii ports
including Hilo, at 8 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.
