Applies Only to Actual Work
Done in the Navy

Washington. July 2s.--Only the act
ual work done In navy yards on ffe
hattleships and GOLFERS, authorized at
the last session OF Congress, is subject
to the eight-hcur law. according to
an opinion sent by Attorney General
Wickersham to the Navy Department,
which asked for an Interpretation of
the law.
II think that 1t is clear that the
provision in the naval appropriation

must BIO construed to apply simply to
work done upon the vessel itself at
the place where 1t is built. and not as
applying to the manufacture OF ma
chinery or other material elsewhere
which is to enter into tho construction
of the vessel"
Tho question of the extent OF the
application OF the eight-hour law to
the vessels authorized arose when the
department began the preparation OF
specifications for bidders. BY some 1t
was uged that the law required even
the arinor plate and such instruments
as compasses to be constructed by
eight-hour labor.

AS the Prairie was then off the east
coast of Central America, with ma
rines, it was usgested that she might
bring up the treasure That set
tongues wagging.
Visions OF pirates, beach combers
and other high sea robbers have been
imagined in the veil of mystery and
silence ever since. The Prairie did
clear to-day, but without the treas
