The Court Of Appeals through Justice
McConlas. in an opinion handed down
yesterday, holds tts eigEt-hour law to be
constitutional. and defines what consu-
tutes an extraordinary emergency.
The opinion upholds a fine of 500 inn
posed in the Police Court IN October last
on the Penn Bridge Company for work
ing one OF its employees, Oscar Shilling
berg. a carpenter. for more than eight
hours. The defense Of the company in
the Police Court was that the law was
unconstitutional, and when this plea was
oyerruled, a defense was offered that the
work upon which Shillingberg and others
were employed at the time set forth in
the indictment constituted an extraordi-
nary emergency, provision Tor which Is
made in the eight-hour law.
The court, In the opinion, cites the de-
eision Of the Supreme Court OF the United
States in the case Of Atkin vs.. the State
Of Kansas, upholding the constitudonality
Of the Kansas eight-hour law
Extraordinary Emergency.
As TO what constitutes an extraordinary
emergency. the opinion says:
I'm this statute the term extraordinary
emergency imports a sudden and unex-
pected happening 20 aver imminent dan
ger 70 health, or life or property. an uH-
usual peril actual and not imaginary,
suddenly creating a situation so different
from the usual and common order. and
the customary OF ordinary instances in
the prosecution Of the public work, that
the court may and must conclude that
Congress contemplated excepting from
| the operation Of the law such an occur
renee SO sudden, rare. and unforeseen.
IN the case before us the District and
the contractor should know that concrete
Ia an arch may not harden IN a given
part in eight hours, and since the con-
tract permitted the District engineers 10
make changes in the plans. the contractor
might have contemplated that the excava-
ton would need greater depth TO support
the arch OF the bridge than an earlier ex-
animation had shown likely 10 be re-
quired. The evidence relied upon by the
defendant would not have justified the
jury in concluding that either or both of
these circumstances constitute an eX-
traordinary emergency"
