    CHARLES F. WOOD AND JOHN L. MOYER, LEADING AS THE PHILADELPHIA STEAM HEATING COMPANY, v THE UNITED STATES.
    [55 C. Cls. 533; 258 U. S. 120.]
    Judgment was rendered in the court below in favor of plaintiffs for a portion of the amount claimed. On plaintiffs’ appeal the judgment was affirmed, and the Supreme Court decided:
    Where a public building contract provides that no claim shall be made or allowed for damages which may arise out of any delay caused by the Government, damages due to delays caused by the Government’s suspensions of the work can not be recovered, even though suspensions were not expressly authorized by the contract. So held, where the contractor acquiesced in the first suspension and thereafter made no protest nor any claim until the suit was brought.
   Mr. Justice Brakdeis

delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court February 27, 1922.
