Attendance at these classes is j " entirely voluntary. So is the pursuit of the special studies, yet the classes are j full at all the eleven manual training I centres, and in some cases there are i waiting lists of considerable length. t . "This is true wherever education is given in the science of doing things. It is as manifest in colleges as it is in •pedal schools. In the Newark classes the voluntary pupils are taught wireless telegraphy, printing press work, furniture making, work in brass and copper, tefagfmphy, electricity, the making and Management of motor hosts, and other ■pedal studies that will help young men «r young women to turn their knowledge at once into practical use. "Iks eagerness with which youn£ men and women . attend the special classes, after the regular school hours, and some times after working hours, shows how they appreciate the practical knowledge thus to be obtained. So long as there are those who earnestly desire this knowledge it should be supplied them freely, particularly since apprenticeship are not so easy to obtain now as they " were in former years" — Newark Newt Dee CANTOR I A fan Atop BMtf L

Before Buftington end i -a lining. Circuit ' Judges, and Cross, District Judge. BUFFINGTON, CfKcuiT JUDGE: j In the Court below, the plaintiff in I error. The Breakwater Company, was | found guilty and sentenced for violation ' of the first section of the Act of Congress of August I, 1892, 27 Stat., 340, j I which provides: "That the service and employment of all laborers and mechanics who are now or. may hereafter be employed by the J Government of the United States, by the District of Columbia, or by any j contractor or sub-contractor, upon any of the public works of the Dsttod States or of the said District of Columbia, is hereby limited and restrained to eight hours in any one calendar day. and it ahall be unlawful for any officer of the United States Government, or of the d . District of Columbia, or any such con- C tractor or sub-contractor, whose duty it ■hall be to employ, contract or control the services of sucli laborers or witch- '

anicu to require or permit any such laborer or mechanic to work more than eight hours in any calendar day, except in cases of extraordinary emergency." To review such judgment the present writ of error was sued out. The Breakwater Company contracted with the United States Government for the erection of two jetties near Cape May Harbor in the State of New Jersey. The jetties were parallel and extended from shore to a depth of 26 feet at low water, with tops 10 feet above mean low water. All work done on theui was off shore and the men whose work more than eight hours was the offense for which The Breakwater Company was convicted, were employed on a barge which, with its cargo of stone was towed across the Delaware Bay to the jetties. The stones used in the construction of the jetties and were thrown from the barge into the water to build them up. The . men named in the indictment were either engineers, boatmen or hookers on such barges. The latter after being towed across the bay were anchored and as | needed were towed by some of the men, I using a gasoline launch, to the jetty. Here all aboard helped in discharging cargo. As occasion required the men also warped the barges along the jettv bv warping lines run by the barge engine. The barge had no other crew I than these men who worked in the var I lous capacities in discharging cargo, exjcept a watchman who also attended the fires. The men were selected for their seafaring experience, were hired by the month, and lived ashore. Some of the barges had four engineer- whose solo J duty was to run the engine w hile discharging cargo andwarping the vessel. I The boatineii handled the yawl and gasj olin boots who assisted in discharging the .-argo. 'Che bookmen handled the lines in discharging the cargo and aided in warping. The work done and the time required to do it depended on time, wind and weather on an open, exposed sea coast. It is clear, therefore, that no exact hours could be fixed when the work of these men should and could cease. Under ordinary circumstances the elements of tide, wind and weather necessitated .variable hours of service on the part of those employed on the barge. In view of this, was it the intent of Congress by the Act in question to describe these men by the terms "laborers and mechanics" and thus make it illqpd to employ them more than eight hours a day even though in the ordinary perform once of their duty an exact eight hour day was impossible in handling a barge and cargo on an open coast? Is it not much more reasonable to say that these men who were doing a maritime service and who by virtue thereof had at law rights, privileges and obligations peculiar to themselves, were more aptly described as seaman. The barge was s maritime vessel, she was engaged In a maritime duty, tiff men were entitled to a maritime lien on her for their wages, for their work was of a maritime charaster: Lawrence vs. Flatboat, 34 ' Fed.
