EIGHT-H0UR LAW

RAILROAD MEN ALSO MUST LA
Dor LONGER.

uIAsHINGToN. June S.-The opinion
wv of Attorney General Moody re-
garding the application of the
eight-hour law on the IsthmUs of
Panama was made public today. He
holds that the act Of August l. 1892,
which limits and restricts to eight
hours the daily service of iaborers and
mechanics employed by the government
Of the United States or by any con-
tractor or sub-contractor upon the
public works Of the United states, ap-
plies to the employment of laborers
and mechanics in the construction OF
the Panama canal.
That act. however, the attorney gen
eraI holds. does not apply TO the Of
fee OF the Isthmian canal commission
stationed on the Isthmus of Panama
or to any of the employees OF the gov
ernment who are not within the ordin-
airy meaning of the words "lahorers
and mechanics" Also that the scope
of the act is not limited by the terri
tOriaI jurisdiction Of congress.
Laws Scope Limited
In answer to the request of the sec
rotary of war for an opinion on the ad-
ditionaI question Of whether the pro-
visions of the act mentioned apply 10
| the hours of labor Of mechanics ana
/ Iaborers1 employed in the construction,
maintenance and operation Of the
Panama Railroad & Steamship line
the attorney general decides IN the
negative
/ As to whether the eight-hOuT law APP
! plies to that class Of employees whose
| services are necessary before and after
/ the regular hours at work. such as en-
| gineers who must get up steam IN the
| morning before the regular hours begin
and clean the machinery after the day S
work is done, the attorney general says;
1T is believed. that giving 10 the
/ words the meaning which is ordinarily
| accepted for them and having I'm mind
| that the act should not be extended be-
/ yond it's plain terms the commission
thave no difficulty in determining IN each
/ case as it arises whether the employe
