hour law, was read:-
LOWELL, May z, 1S69.-Mr. Felix Chilling
worth-Dear Sir;-YOur note was not received
until yesterday, owing to my absence from my
office. The exact facts are these:-On Monday
a week ago l called to take leave of President
Grant on my return from Washington, and in
the course of the conversation suggested the
difference in regard to the opinions of the two
Attorneys General on the Eight-hour law. 1t
was remarked that if the law was n bad one,
the best way to repeal an obnoxious law was to
have it enforced; that it was plain that it was
the true intent and meaning of Congress that
eight hours should be days work for mecha-
mics in Government employ and that that days
work should be paid for as days works or what
ever length Of hours were ordinarily paid for in
the same emplOyments by persons not doing
Government work in the neighbOrhood. General
Grant assented to this proposition of mine, and
said that he had ii in his Intention to issue an
order which should make the action of all the
derartments uniform on the subject of hours OF
labor, as they were dissimilar now, and should
carry out what seemed to be the clear Intention
| of the law. / understood him to say that il
| would he done as soon as the gentlemen of the
Cabinet who were absent should return, and
