 TrOIleys-FuIl Force of
 Men Ready to Work.

San Francisco, May 13-Street cars were run today through the city to the ferry at the foot of Market Street. No disturbance occurred on the early runs.
 The United Railways put many more cars on during the day.

In addition to the operation of the su- ter. Turk and Eddy Streettte'rs the Valencia and Mission Street Yves were placed in service and also in the West ern Addition. A number of special po- licemen have been ordered to report for duty today to assist the regular force in maintaining order.

EIGHT-H0UR LAW
 DECIDED BY COURT
Justice Holmes Holds Time of Work for Public is Bimited--Affects
 Big Contracts.

Washington, May 13--Justice Holmes of the Supreme Court of the United States today announced the decision of the court in a number of cases fn- yoiving the construction of the eight hour law of 1892. by which the em- ployment of laborers and mechanics on public works is limited to eight hours per day.
 The defendants were all prosecuted criminally and were all found guilty and fined by the trial court The suits were instituted especially for the pur- pose of testing the applicability of the law to laborers and mechanics employ ed on dredges in river and harbor were also necessarily involved The court held the law to be constitution al but held that 1t does not apply to laborers and mechanics on dredges and that men so employed cannot be held to be- employed on public works.
 There were seven of the cases and all came to the supreme court on writs of error from the Union States dis trict court for the district of Massa- chusetts
 s Justice Holmes opinion was based on the cases of Villain and Ellis and the Eastern Dredging Company versus the United States and all the other six cases were decided along the same lines. Justice Moody delivered dis senting opinion.
 The decision will have immediate bearing upon the letting of contracts for the $s7 7,000,o0 worth of river and harbor work authorized by the last session of congress. Most of the con- tracts under that law were held up by the war department pending the settie- ment of the cases.
 Justtrs Hoimes opiuis tI,et men asfn- ployed on dredges in river and harbor improvements are not laborers or me- chanics. was based on the ground that in effect that such men are seamen to whom the law is not applicable. He said that all other employment Is in- cidental to the work of the man on the dredges and to their services Is seamen, and that therefore they must be classified as seamen.
 Justice Moody held diametriicaily opposite view, declaring that the duties of the men in handling the. dredges are Incidental to their work as labor CTS. Their principal duty was that or digging and removing dirt and the fact that they are employed on ves- sel does not alter the case. The court, he said had nothing to do with that nolicy of congress in enacting the law. Justices. Harlan and Day con curred in the dissenting opinion.

 The evidence of Mir. Howell and MT.

Each said the prices named by the vac rious companies were the same.
 John T. Ashcraft. who was the next witness, denied knowledge of the ex- istence of any combination or agree ment wherein the Tennessee Valley Fertilizer Company. of which he is at- torney. had any part. He said he had heard some of the larger compa- nies spoken of as trust"
 It was at the conclusion of his evil dence that his brother, Lee Ashcraft, the most interesting witness of the day. was called.
