LABOR LAW JOKE TO 'SOLID THREE' LEGAL OPINION LAUGHED AT BY SUPERVISORS CONTRACTOR WHO MADE MEN WORK OVERTIME PAID Precedent is Punctured, and Statutes Are Pooh.Poohed by Messrs. /Eldridge, McCabe and Nellis Precedent was punctured and legal opinion was pooh-poohed at the meet ing of the board of supervisors yester day, the solid three for once at least became soluble, and the eight-hour law, passed by the legislature for the benefit of worKingmen on public build ings and other works, was disregarded. The peculiar spectacle of Eldridge, Nellis and Pridham voting as a unit against Manning and McCabe was the feature of yesterday's proceedings. It all happened during the hearing on the order served on Carl Leonardt, the contractor, to show cause why he should not be compelled to pay the mount required by law for working his men overtime on the county hospi tal buildings. The board decided, three to two, that the work came under the emergency clause and Leonardt's de mand for his money was granted. Complaint that Leonardt was work ing his men ovest'me on the county hospital building was made to the su pervisors last summer. A great deal of testimony was heard, and after an in terval of several months and appar ent reluctance on the part of the board, the matter was referred to Hartley Shaw, chief deputy district attorney and legal adviser for the board, asking him for an opinion. This »pinlon was rendered more than a month ago, Mr. Shaw stating that except in one instance no emergency existed, and that the provisions of the eight-hour law should be applied where the men were compelled to work over time. But the investigation and preparation of the opinion amounted to a waste of time only. When the matter again came before the board yesterday the question was whether or not Leonardt's demand for $25,000 should be allowed without deducting $3700 in fines for the alleged violations of the law. Then came the break in the ranks of the solid three. Eldridge moved to al low the demand, on the ground that the overtime was due to an emergency. He was supported by Pridham, and Man ning and McCabe voted against the motion, while Chairman Nellis cast the deciding ballot in favor of the propo sition.
