Washington, Sept. 9-Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy Franklin D. Roose-
welt has sustained the position of the
A. r. of L. metal trades department
that he federal eight-heur law should
apply to torpedo boat engines manu-
featured by subcontractors. The law
gives heads Of government depart
ments power to buy supplies In the
open market regardless of the hours
employed in the manufacture Of these
supplies. The unionists 1laveheld that
torpedo boat engines are built under,
special specifications and are not a
commodity as genrally understood.

tanned this position and has written

of the metal trades department:
