UPHOLDS S-HOUR LAW
Court Of appeals Decides IN Favor
Of Controller Nets.

Albany oct 13.-The validity OF that secton o.
the labor providing that no "orknleh on -
lie work shall be permitted or required 10 WON
moro than eight hours In one calendar day IS up
hold b,, the Court Of Appeals in a decision handed
down to-day The court In substance holds that
violation of this law is justification for the VIII
holding of payments for such work from contracts
The question came up in action begun by inc
Williams Engineering & Contracting COMPANY, o.
New York to compel Controller Herman A Metz
Of New York, to pay two instruments agsreBauns
about $1,000 a contract for the coInp'euoh u
sewers in New York. It IS understood that nearly
500 600 is involved in this contract. the Con
trolIer refused payment, contending that the con
tractors had violated the labor .law, In that they
employed their men more than eight hours oaS
and did not pay the prevailing rate OF wages
The Court of Appeals reversed the lower courts
which directed the payment Of the money. Inc
judges sitting in this were CHIEF Judge Cul-
len and Judges Vann Chase, Willard, baTteIe'
Gray. Werner and Hiscock-
In an opinion by Judge Vann reference IS made
to the recent amendment to the constitution, and
which took effect January l. 1906 giving the Leg1s-
lature power to regulate and fix the wages or SAL
aries the hours Of work or labor and make pro
vision for the protection, welfare and safety OF
persons employed by the state by any county,
city or other municipality. by contractor or sub
contractor performing work for municipality.
He then goes into the re-enactment of the material
part os the labor law. which had previously been
declared unconstitutional.
Judge Vann says that IN this case the court
confines its attention to that section of the law
which prohibits employees from working more than
eight hours IN any day. The opinion says in
part:
The Legislature has the power, and had
when the present labor law was enacted. to nix and
regulate the hours Of labor on public work by Inn
itiug them to eight hours in one calendar day,
ana to provide that when that limit is exceeded
officer Of state or municipal government shall
be permitted to pay therefor from funds under
his official control We do not uphold the labor
law constitutional TO the limited extent that we
pass upon it at ALL because It is authorized by the
police power, which belongs 10 the state, Tor we
cannot that it bears any reasonable relation
the public relation to the public health safety
morals. We uphold the statute simply because
the people have 50 amended the constitution as to
permit such legislation. The command of the peo-
pie made in the form prescribed by law must be
enforced by the courts.
