Considerable speculation exists as to
the effect the eight-hour requirement
will have on the bidding of the New
port News Shipbuildtng and Dry Dock
Company on the ships authorized in
the naval appropriation bill which
passed the House yesterday. New
port News works largely on the piece
work system, and IL Is believed that
there will be no insurmountable diff
sficulty IN the way OF the yard bid
ding without interfering with the ten
hour work schedule 1t now has In
force.
At the special meeting of the Com
mon Council last week at which tie
police department retrenchment ques-
ton was the special order. 1t was
found impossible for the councilmen
to agree The matter Ia hopelessly
tied up, and there II doubt that there
will be any change In police depart
ment matters The recommendation
of the retrenehment committee was
to cut off about $500 annual ex-
pense in this department by dtspens-
ing with two sergeants and two pa
trolmen and cutting the salary Of the
chief 5000.
1t Is understood that the druggists
will sell soda water and tobacco to-
morrow, Notwithstanding the fact that
they were warnd on Monday last by
Justice Brown that they would be
fined should they be brought before
him again for violating the Sunday
