Senator Wilson's Opinion Of the Eight Hour
Law.
WASHINGTON, April 49, 1860.
Senator Wilson has addressed letter to the Secre-
tary of War, dissenting from the oficial construc-
ton placed upon the Eight Hour law. He main-
tains FIRST that the law passed in answer to the
numerous petitions OF mechanics and workingmen
employed in the government establishments; sec
ondy, that it was the intention OF Congress to fully
meet their views; and, thirdly the law was plain
upon the subject. The letter win probably be pub
lished.
