EIGHT HOU RS.
The Movement To Reduce the Hours
of Labor Reaches minneapolis.

The movement looking to reduction of
days work, which has extended through
out the East. has struck Minneapolis at
asst. The question has been carefully dis
cusSed in the labor organizations, and it
looks as If the movement may perhaps be a
general one, and not confined to one or two
trades. An enthusiastic meeting, at which
at least 800 carpenters were present, was
held last evening at Plummer post hall.
The best OF feeling was manifested. and
judging from the dozen or so speeches
made, tile men are unit in favor of the
proposed reduction. One speaker said
that there were 1900 carpenters in the
city, and that it was fair to say that at least
one-fifth are continually out of work. If
the days work is reduced, one-fifth of these
men can be given employment.
Another said, 1T is the idle man who
Injuries us. He is the man who can be
hired at lower wages than you. He is
perhaps, forced to do it, and if he is given
work he will remove dangerous element
who Injuries the prosperity of the craft out
of the community"
Carpenters now are working for 81. go a
day. The city pays the common laborers
on the streets. $1.50. Is this fair play for
skilled labor?" was the sentiment of another
speaker.
So the discussion went on, ana the
GENERAL TENOR
OF the remarks being to the effect that at
present the supply exceeds the demand in
the labor market; the demand can't be con-
trolled. but the supply can be lessened by a
reduction of the hours of labor. The only
difference is that all will be getting the
benefit, instead of four-ffths as at present.
1t was tacitly agreed that ten hours pay for
eight hQ clyeaN
the men desire to work only eight hours
and to be paid for that time, what fair
minded man can refuse it?
The announcement that an Eight Hours
League was TO be organized through the
Trades and Labor assembly was greeted
with cheers. A discussion then followed
as te the plan to be followed. Thorough
organization was urged. and agitation was
recommended. The idea seemed to be that
the public when it really understands the
question will be on the side of labor. To
