HOUSE.


WASHINGTON, May 8.-A bill to enforce
the eight hour law was taken up.
Mr.. Kelly contended while that law re-
mains. every government employee who
works ten hours is defrauded. He dis
cussed the labor and production question,
DENYING that there is any production,
but an over-rlng. He said all labor
troubles are due to bad financial policy. 1t
there was an over-production, either it
should be stopped by reducing the hours OF
labor even to six or the increase of popula-
ton be stopped. If two hours of labor was
enough to sustain working men and their
families, then time should be reduced to
two hours.
MIR. Mcmillan said the bill was adverse
to labor and he moved as an amendment
that it shall not apply to past.
Mr.. Goode advocated the bill, also Mr.
Cox. ,
After further debate the bill was tabled
1O3 to 50. The vote then taken TO recon
slider stood 127 nays. 81 yeas, thus etfec'
tua!ly killing the bill,
The silver bill was tak Ken up and Mr.
Kimmel offered an amendment fixing the
| weight of the silver dollar at 400 instead
of 4123 grains.
Mr.. Fisher favored the amendment anc
opposed the bill arguing in favor OF th'
single standard.
