who failed to appear were suspended. The
trouble, it is claimed by the boys. has
arisen from the very strict discipline the
new professor of military tactics has insti-
tuted. They request that each student
shall appear at the drill with a black tie,
cieaniy shaved face and polished shoes.
Other requirements of military character
are eXacted. A failure to comply in re-
spect to these constitutes a black mark,
and five marks are said to be sufficient to
give student his dismissal
The Labor Congress and the Eight-hour
Law.
WASHINGTON, December 10th-The Fed
Grafton of the Labor Unions of the United
States and Canada resumed its session to-
day, and took up for consideration a reso-
luton providing that the eight-bour rule
shall take effect from May 1st The ques-
ton caused considerable debate, and de-
yeloped diversity of opinion as to the
best method of accomplishing the desired
results. Some delegates favored a fine for
working over hours: others favored a re-
uucilon OF wages with hours others urged
that doubte pay be eXacted for extra work,
and others advocated a general consultation
with employers, in order to secure united
action. An amendment, which provides
that thorough canvass should be made
IN the respective trades, for the pur-
pose OF securing the cooperation of
as many as possible in carrying out the
resolution was adopted. Before the final
vote was taken upon the resolution, it was
explained that its adoption did not compel
any organization that did not feel strong
enough to carry into operation the eight
hour law. The intention was not to force
strike, or To compel organizations to do
what they did not feel able to do. With

was thought that the resolution, in it's
present form, did not convey this intention
as clearly as it should and it was referred
to the Committee on Resolutions for reyi-

AFTERNOON SESSION.
On reassembling at o'clock, the eight
hour resolution was passed, with the
amendment that while it shall 20 into force
May 1st, such organizations as were not
capable of doing so at the time, should lend
their assistance to those who would under
take to carry out the resolution. A discus
sion on the subject of arbitration showed
that many Unions considered arbitration
as first and necessary before resorting to
boycotting and striking.
In the evening about 5000 members of
the local Trades Unions paraded the prin-
cipai streets. A mass meeting was held
afterwards.
