WILL OPPOSE THE
EIGHT HOUR LAW

Tacoma contractors have COM
menced a suit against the city to test
the validity of the eight-hour law
George NJ Savage and w. r. Nichols,
of the firm of Savage & Co, took the
initial steps yesterday to enjoin the
commissioner of public works from
declaring void the contracts on which
they are now engaged.
In order to complete their jobs on
time, the contractors declare, they
must work ten hours a day. Commits
sioner Welsh has notified the COM
pany that, under the eight-hour law
and according to the terms of the
contract, he can and will declare
their contracts void, and consequent
ly the suit was brought.
This will not be the first case
brought in the state to test the valid
ity of the law. When the Seattle
contractors took the matter up a
short time ago the superior court de-
clared the law unconstitutional, while
at Spokane the superior court held
the law valid
The case will be pushed to hear
ing at once.

this morning for their former po-

where the returning unionists were

At the various places the men were
being taken back slowly. The mem

numbering 5000, assert that all must
be taken back at once, and the team

the bituminous macadam pavement

make all needed repairs at once. If
the defective places in the payements
are not repaired within 30 days, the
city will let the repair work be done
by contract and will charge the ex-
pense TO the bondsmen Of the original
contractors.
On st. Helens avenue The paving
substance has worn almost to the
base The city has taken up this
matter with the contractors before,
but has never met with success. Since
the council has threatened to charge
the expense to the bondsmen, the
repairs will probably be made.

in the arrest.
Martiny, who is a well educated
man, is said to have served a term
in California prison, but he was
well liked at Eatonville and was
made clerk of the school district
there. Among his alleged offenses
is the raising of number of school
warrants. He Is also alleged to have
forged two checks, one for $55 which
he passed on d. Den Bleyker of Ia

cashed at an Eatonville hotel.
