st. Petersburg. April 24.-The news
from Manchuria indicates that Field
Marshal Oyama's plans await the re-
suit of the naval battle, it being too
risky for the Japanese army to under
take serious operations while the out
come of the sea fight is in the bal

reach Vladiyostok and Admiral Togo
still be able to protect the Japanese

belief at the war Office is that the
Japanese will forthwith attempt to cut

LIBRARIAN NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Corporation Counsel's View Of Labor
Issue at Public Library.

In an opinion submitted to the Commits
sioners yesterday Corporation Counsel f.
H. Thomas states that Librarian George F.
way accountable because men employed in
binding books at the library work more
than eight hours per day.
The consideration of this question by
the corporation counsel grew out of COM
plant made early In the present month by
a man who claimed to be delegate of the
Central Labor Union against Librarian
Bowerman. 1t was stated that the libra
rian was violating the eight-hour law. In
asking the Commissioners to place the ques-
ton before the law department of the Dis
trict Mr.. Bowerman called attention to the
fact that the contract for binding books
at the library being between the Commits
sioners and Anton Zichtl, the librarian was
in no way accountable, because he was not
a party to the agreement. He further eX-
planned that the men employed by Mr..
Lichtl were satisfied to work union hours
nine hours per day.
Corporation Counsel Thomas quotes sec
tion so of the code, which contains the
provision: THE services and employment
of all laborers and mechanics who are now
or may hereafter be employed by the gov
trict of Columbia or by any contractor or
subcontractor upon any of the public works
of the United States or of the District of
Columbia, is hereby limited and restricted
10 eight hours In any one calendar day.
etc. And In concluding his opinion he
states that complaint, II any is made,
should be addressed to the contractor.
