1Opinion of the Court
EVAN A. EVANS, Circuit Judge.
Defendant in error executed its bond to the United States conditioned, among other things, that the contractor “shall promptly make payments to all persons supplying it labor and materials in the prosecution of the work” in constructing the main hospital building of the naval training station at Great Eakes. The R. Haas Electric & Manufacturing Company “and other parties similarly situated,” for whose benefit this action was brought, were creditors of the contractor, Noel Construction Company, having furnished labor and material for which they had not been paid.
