That Protection Need Not Bo Crippled. In a brief and comprehensive opinion submitted to Mayor Rushlight this morn ing City Attorney Grant says that he does not believe the eight-hour law adopted by the people at the recent gen- y eral election will affect firemen of Port land. . The opinion was written at the " reqtTCTt nf the mayor, -who feared -that , the act might apply to firemen and oth ,r municipal employes. If Its provi sions were applicable to firemen the city would have to increase the present corps three times at an additional annual ex- enditure of more than a million dol lars. City Attorney Grant says the courts of -New Tork decided that a fireman is not a laborer in the sense implied by tha word In the eight-hour act of that state. Tha oourts there held that a la borer Is a person who performs work With the hands "for hire." - "Tha expression, 'for hire,' " says tlie SNew York tribune!, "evidently does nW apply to public officers or others hold- lng positions which, are included under the classified civil service lists of the rlty." No contract of hiring is made with firemen for instance. They re ceive annual salaries, not wages either In the common or legal acceptation of the term." "This case," says City Attorney Grant, referring to the New York de cision, "is the only ono I have been able to find which passes upon this question. Said case has never been . overrule and in my opinion is directly applicable to the question submitted under the Oregon law.

After Judge John P, Kavanaugh of tha circuit court had mad the state ment In' the course of an address at tha annual banquet of the Oregon State Bar association at th Multno mah hotel last night, that rules of court procedure In Oregon are so ridden with technicality and artificiality that instead, of enforcing justice they often defeat 'it, and had pleaded for the co operation of the association In present ing to the legislature what he termed "a practical, expeditious, common sense system of practice that w111 te an honor Instead of a reproach to our great profession," he was flatly con tradicted by ex-Judge Martin L.
