The Eight Hour Law.
THE PRESIDENT DECLARES IN ITS FAVOR

TIE PRESIDENT DECLARES IN ITS FAVOR.

Cleveland said, concerning the eight
hour law: 81 believe that the law is
sound and good one and that it
should be enforced to the letter. l
have no information regarding instan.
ces of its violation or evasion. but il
such instances are presented to me
will see that the abuse is remedied and
the full spirit of the law enforced,
which l understand to be to pay work
men in the government employ for
eight hours work daily what is paid
outside of the government employ for
full days work. The government
cannot afford to set the example OF
non-enforcement and non-observance
of its own enactments.'
The President further said: 81
appreciate the effect upon the mechan
les of the country of the constantly
increasing use of labor-saving machin-
cry and l can think of no more prac.
tical relief for the unemployed surplus
labor than the occupation by it of the
public lands. do not hesitale to say
that l arm heartily in favor OF any
feasible plan for the encouragement
and assistance, if need be, Of prospec.
tive American settlers upon the pulic
domain by the General Government"
In this the President expressed some
very radical views upon the subject OF
the occupation of vast tracts of public
land by foreign capitalists. The Pres
ident seemed desirous of impressing
upor his hearer his willingness to heart
lily cooperate with Congress in any
efforts it may make to elevate the
working class and improve the social
condition of the bread winners.
