Washington, Bee. f,-—T'»<* irouvf of the GnSted States AtendaY sustained tho validity «T the tyanaaa act prescribing eight hour; as a ’aw* fol day's work on all public works, and prescribing penalties for ;ontrac­ tors who permit or require t ie lr work* men to work longer. The'Kansas Jaw, who?" validity veaa called Into question in t’te Suit, was enacted In. 1901' and provided th a t eight hours should ronstRote :i day's work for workmen employed >>f or on behalf of the state, or by any iminty or city or other municipality in rija state. I t also prohlluls contractors from requiring laborers engaged on work for the state to perform morn than eight hours' labor In a day. Botit lino and impriaamnont aro provided' for violation of the law. The case de­ cided Tuesday was that of IV. W- At* kina, ts . The State of Kansas, Atkins had had a contract with the corpora­ tion pf Kansas City, ICan., for paving and lie was charged with requiring a workman named Reese to labor ten hours, a day. He' vyas prosecuted in the s ta te■ courts, where the decisions ywpre unit-, uily against him. Atkins 'appealed from tho decision of the state supreme court to the federal supreme court, alleging that the-statute ,5s In violation of the first section of tho 1-Hh’amendment to the. constitution; that it denies him due protection of the law and deprived'him of his prop* erfy without1duo process. Tho opinion was based on the the­ ory that al! the municipalities of a state.are the creations of .the state; that wfork for them is of a public char* actor and does, not infringe- on tho personal liberty pf any one. .lift then added; . ‘‘Whatever may have been the mo fives that controlled the enactment o f the statute in question, wc can im­ agine. no possible ground to dispute the power of the state to declare, that no one undertaking v/orit for ft or for ono of its municipal agencies shall permit or require an employe on such work td ’labor In excess of eight hours each in the day and to inflict punish in,3nt upon contractors who disregard such a regulation, It can not ho deem­ ed a part of the liberty of any contrac to r that h e he allowed to do public work in any mode he may choose to adopt without regard to the wish of the state. On the contrary. It belongs to the state, as the guardian and trus tec for. Its people, to prescribe the con­ ditions upon which ft.will permit pub­ lic .work to bo done. - No court has authority to review its action in that respect. Regulations on this subject is suggest only considerations of. pub­ lic policy. And with such considcrn tions th a t miri-S have*- no concern.” Taking up the question of public policy, Justice .-Marian said; "If St be ccrtt?rtded to be- the right of every one ,t'o dispose of bis Tabor upon snch terms as he deems be3t—- as undoubtedly it Is—and that to nrako a criminal offense for a contractor for public work to perm it'or rcqtrfre his employes to perform labor upon that work In excess of eight hours each day Is in derogation of the liberty of employes and employer, it is sufficient answer that no ono is entitled, o f ab­ solute right and as a part of his lib­ erty, to perform labor for the state; and no contractor for. public work can. excuse a violation of hia lawful agree­ ment with the state by doing that which the statute under which he pro* coeds distinctly forbid him to do.”' CAPT.
