Judge Advocate of Army Interprets
Opinion of Attorney General. :.

Judge Advocate General Crowder of the
army has given an opinion in regard to
the operation of the eight-hour law I'M
der the opinion rendered recently by the
Attorney General. The opinion of the
Attorney General was that the eight
hour restriction of the act of June 8, 1872
applies only to work contemplated by the
contract. and that no penalty can be i'm
posed if laborer or mechanic should be
required permitted to labor more than
eight hours a day on some other work
than that contemplated by the contract.
Gen. Crowder holds that the opinion of
the Attorney General cannot be extended
so as to cover the caSe<of laborer or
mechanic working more than eight hours
a day upon two separate contracts, both
coming within the restrictions of the law
no matter whether they cover like or
different materials. or whether made by
one department of the government or by
two.

drawn by her today. when hearings be-
fore the police trial board were resumed
