CITY FIREMEN DO NOT
COME UNDER 8-HOUR
' LAW; TESTED IN N. Y.
City .Attorney Grant Finds
. 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. I am, therefore,
of the opinion that the members of the
f ira department, do -not come under the
provisions of saldact"

Blame on Men on Bench.
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. Pipes,
who rose and answered him.
Mr. Pipes said that tha trouble with
the courts is not In the rules of pro
cedure but in the judges. The rules of
procedure as set out in the code, he
declared, are simplicity itself, but the
Judges have added a mass of technical
requirements. '
Faulty Administration "Blamed.
The statement of Judge Pipes seemed
to be regarded in the nature of a deli
cately put rebuke of judge Kavanaugh.
Judge Pipes made his rejoinder smiling
ly, but 'with much emphasis, and that
hie sentiments as- to the trouble with
the courts coincided with those of many
of the other lawyers was ahown by the
applause when he had finished. The
remarks of both were heard with the

much with the administration of the

as well as Judge Kavanaugh, what could

'Though no "af tidal" announcement has
