OPINION SOON
ON 8-HOUR LAW
Solicitor Says He Will Send
1t to City Council Next
Week
PLEASED WITH
FIRE SITUATION

City solicitor satterthwaite ar
rived home last night from a visit
to Lexington. Ky. and today plunged
into a mass of municipal work which
had accumulated I'm his absence. He
expressed much qualification at the
success achieved by Percy Warren
Green. Assistant City Solicitor, In
obtaining a dissolution Of that por-
tion Of the temporary injunction
granted by Chancellor Wolcott
against the Public Safety directors
regarding purchase OF supplies.
"It is my intention" said Mr.. Sat
terthwaite. "to lay before Council. at
its regular meeting next Thursday
night. an opinion on the constitu-
tionality OF the eight-hour and pre-
vailing rate of wages laws on the
statute books of the State. SO FAR as
concerns the constitutionality OF the
elght-hour law. there is little diff
Guilty. The United States Supreme
Court within the past year has de-
cided that such laws may be enacted
by State Legislatures. There is how
ever, this difference in the law on
our own statute books. from those
which have been enacted in other
States: Where other legislatures
have prescribed. set or fixed limi-
tation Of eight hours day on muni-
cipal work. the Delaware Legisla-
ture merely had made a requirement
that a man shall not be compelled 10
work more than eight hours a day
There is nothing to prevent mans
working more than eight hours II he
so desires and is paid for his SER
vices.
Again, the eight hour law is link
ed up with the prevailing rate OF
wages enactment. This complicates
matters considerably, and will re-
quire the looking up Of precedents
I to obtain the opinion Of the courts
on the subject. Just what constitutes
a prevailing rate OF wages Is a ques-
ton open 20 much difference OF
l opinion"
Mr.. Satterthwaite said he had met
much cold weather while in the
South and had been obliged to wear
an overcoat much Of the time.

on the Governments policy of maintain
ing a "one-power standard"
Lord Lee pointed out that tho econ
omies included reduction in the num-
Der OF capital ships in full commission
from twenty TO sixteen. as compared
with thirty-eight in 1914 This is the
smallest number that will enable the
essential sea going technical training of
officers and men to be carried out prop
erly," he asserted.
Tt cannot be too strongly empha-
siped that In making this long delayed
beginning with the replacement of
obsolete ships" Lord Lee declared, "the
Government neither commits itself to,
nor contemplates. any building pro-
grammes in answer to those OF any
other Power. Indeed, 1t trusts 1t may be
possible. as a result of frank and
friendly discussion with the principal
naval Powers. to avoid anything ap-
competitive building, either
now or In the future"
