THE "EIGHT-HoUR" BUSINESS

There is great deal of talk, of late,
of an eight-hour law, or, rule that in
this country eight hours shall constI-
tute a days work. The idea, with
some, is less labor and more time to
loaf; with others, a hope of 20 per
cent reduction % The labor of the
country, consequently 20 per cent less
production OF the results of labor,
therefore higher prices. In our judg-
ment all this is foolisbness. These
matters are self-regulating and self
adjusting, and under the universal
law of supply ana demand. If it were
possible to adopt the eight-hour sys-
TEN. il wouldn't be year before the
Knights or some other organization
would be demanding ten hours pay
pay for eight hours work. This, if
conceded. would not only add 20 per
cent TO The cost of every product of
labor, but "short hours" and "big
pay" would flood this country with
cheap labor from Europe.
As yet, this is .'free," not "com-
munistic" America, and an American
will work just as many hours as he
feels like working. and quit only when
he can afford to. The American who
wants to get ahead with his own en-
terprises or by his own labor, will
never consent TO be made machine
of by any imported communistic ar
rangement, and congress and all other
lie gislaiive bodies may as well recog-
nize that fact at once and save them
selves trouble. Before the average
American would give up his right TO
work, or to play, or TO do any other
thing conducive To his constitutional
guaranteed right TO pursue happiness
he would fight.
