employers are so scarce that il be necessary to

work, it is like parcelling out short ratons. The
importation of laborers and the financial legis-
laton of the last twenty years is at the bottom of
all our labor troubles. The prices of labor and
its products must go up and down together; they
are inseparable Noempoyer can pay more per

writes:
81 think that our manufacturers are making
great mistake In running their works so many
hours day as they do
s"rhey are depressing the price of their COM
modisies and producing glut in the market,
and making no gain commensurate or compensa-
tory for the evil Yet think we must eventu-
ally recognize the truth, hours and price OF
labor must be controlled mainly by the law of
supply and demand, which is superior to all
congressional and State enactments."

eff the eght-hour system was in practical
operation in the United States it would be the
means of putting to work the million and half
unemployed men. 1t would give the country
better educated class of workingmen, and make
the country more prosperous in every respect.
The best argument that can be used In favor or
the eight-hour work-day is found in the fact that
those who work the fewest number of hours are
always the best paid"

The Government and the Eight-Hour Law

The Government and the Eight-Hour Law.
By Hon. VIM. Malone. United States Senator from
virginia. Railroad Engineer and President.
few weeks ago made report to the United
States Senate from the committee on education
and labor, upon the petitions and memorials OF
workmen, laborers and mechanics of Philadel-
phia, New York and Brooklyn, who asked for
the passage Of law to pay the claims of those
who have been employed more than eight hours
on government work, in violation of the eight
hour law.
The committee made careful investigation
into the conduct of the officers of the govern
ment who have had charge of men entitled to
the benefits intended to be conferred by the
eight-hour law, and found that since the time OF
its passage the law has been disregarded, evaded
and violated AS early as 1869, six months after
the passage of the law, it was ignored by the
officers of the government. Complaints were
made, and proclamation was issued by Presi-
dent Grant the 10Th of May, 1869, directing
that men upon government works should be en-
ployed not more than eight hours day, and that
there should be reduction in their wages on
account OF the reduction OF the hours or
labor For little while afterwards the law was
enforced, but very soon the officers of the gov
eminent returned to the old practices and in
May. 1872 President Grant was compelled to
issue another proclamation to the same effect
In that year Congress passed another law re-
curing the accounting oftcer OF the treasury
to paw employees MI sums withheld from them by
reason of the reduction of wages in consequence
of the reduction Of hours, from the time inter
vening between the passage Of the eght-hour
law and the date of the Presidents proclama-
ton. Under this act many claimants
were paid; but considerable number were not
paid, and their claims still remain on file in the
departments. The bill which we recommended
for passage declares that the men who worked
more than eight hours ought to be paid extra
for the time they were so employed. l am
thorough believer in the eighthour law, and |
think it should be enforced by the government
Whenever it has been enforced under my OBJ
servation it has been successful, and do not
think that the additional cost of governmental
works is enough to take into consideration. The
employers to be fair, and just and generous
with their men, and, as long as have vote in
Congress it shall be cast for the benefit of the
workingmen

be ready to recognize each others necessities,
some real advance will have been made One
cause of the difficulty has been the distance
which has existed hithesto between the employer
aud employe, each knowing little of the
other hardly anything from personal inter
course-and each losing sight OF the interest
OF the other in their eagerness for the advance
ment OF personal profit In some kinds or en-
ployment, prOft-sharing must ultimately do
much toward our coming this distance and max
ing community of rights and interest. In other
kinds Of employment the principle will not be
applicable
The public mind is now generally turned tow
ards arbitration. l am hopeful that much good
in the present condition of affairs will come from
willingness on both sides to submit to the de-
csion OF others, differences that can not be rec
onciied without. A permanent board OF arbi-
tratlon created in State matters, by the State
legislatures, and in matters pertaining to inter
State commerce, by the United States, WILL IN
my opinion, be preferable to boards of arbitra-
ton selected for special cases. look, however
with more confidence to the employer and en-
ploye working out for themselves in spirit OF
moderation and mutual concession perma-
nent good, rather than to expect it
at the hands of the legislatures. l de-
sire such legislation as will contribute, as far
as possible to furnish employment in this coun-
try Tor every person within our borders who de-
sires or needs to labor for livelihood If it can
once be established in the general administrative
policy that all the labor to be performed for the
country shall be performed here and by our own
laborers there will be no lack Of employment
and there ought to be no lack of disposition to
make the lot and the reward of the laborer such
as to insure him competence, as well as respect
and influence, in country whose welfare is the
interest of all. Let the laborer IN this country
have all the work there is to be done for himself
and his fellow-countrymen and he will be inde-
pendent, commanding his own rates and his own
hours of labor All the leisure which it is posi-
BILE for him to obtain will make him a better
workman, more useful to himself and to his en-
ployer. He will cease to find grievances, and
the disposition to force his employer to terms
will disappear, because the best possible terms
will be for the interest of both

ceives. The struggle for cheapness, which is
dangerously stimulated by the competition OF
nations for foreign markets, has reduced the la
boring porulation OF transatlantic countries to
such hard conditions. and wrought 1t such IN
tensity Of discomfort, as to have unsettled the
foundations of government and individual prop
erty in those countries. During this century
mans mastery of the forces of nature has In
creased thousand-fold and more, and so far ex-
ceeds his power to purchase commodities as to
force hundreds of thousands Of willing workers
to spend part of every year in idleness. Ii, as
the laborer's power of production increases his
share of the joint products of labor and capital
had been equitaby increased, the terrible con-
trast between the rich and the poor, which now
shocks the observant traveller in every foreign
land and is painfully apparent in the large cities
and some other portions of our country. would
have been impossible. The well-paid and pros
porous laborers would have made aproftable
home market in every country, and every re-
duction Of wages that is made in obedience TO
the demand for cheaper goods has been a step
in the wrong direction.
The universal establishment of eight hours as
the limit of days labor would improve the So
cial habits and increase the intelligence OF the
laboring classes, as the reduction from thirteen
hours to ten per day did nearly sixty years ago.
So firmly have l been convinced of this that,
when opposing the adoption OF Colonel Morrl-
sons horizontal tariff bill, il April, 1884, sug-
gesred as one of the remedies for the evils OF the
Ava
the Territories and the District Of Columbia as
Congress may make. and an appeal to the legis-
latures Of the several States to provide by law
that eight hours or less shall be the longest Pc
riod in any one day that mar or machinery may
move in productive employment. If it be sug-
gested that this is beyond the scope of govern
ment reply that it is the duty of popular.
government to defend and protect the
property of that great body OF its
citizens whose estate consists solely of the
physical and mental ability of its members to
perform productive labor as sedulously as it pro-
tects and defends the real and personal estate
of those who derive incomes from such posses
sions. Again, if it be said that by limiting the
hours of labor we would increase the cost of our
productions. and destroy our own market for
them by admitting the productions of the over
worked and under paid laborers of other lands
in competition with them, answer that, if pro-
lection against defense against such invasions
which must produce alternating periods OF en-
forced idleness and excessive labor be the right
of our working people, we can and ought to de-
fend them by such tariff of customs duties as
would effectualy exclude from our market the
cheaper productions of the wronged laborers of
other lands.

khr0ugh the country would feel the impetus, and
the biggest sort of a boom would start through
the land.
Two hours taken from factory toll would un-
doubtedly give our workingmen the needfu OPP
Dortunity of self-improvement. A man must
needs be desperately hungry for culture who
after ten or twelve hours labor, under the I'M
favorable conditions of our great barracks of in
Siustry goes home aad takes up any solid piece
Of reading. He probably goes to sleep as soon as
he can, or If he seeks any occupation it is of
such nature as will spur his jaded energies aud
bring fash of rnomentary joy to his tired
frame. Every man has the right and the duty
of making name for himself upon the earth, and
shat he may do this society needs, if possible, so
TO organize affairs as that he will have chance
for some serious study at selfmproyement.
Ii Is not only question of Individual i'm
proyement, bat of the Improvement of labor at
large. This elevation depends upon the power
Of association; and this again upon the develop
ment of the individual mind. The improve
nnent which American labor has already won for
herself has been largely due to its finding time
and opportunity for association. This needs to
be pushed further along wise and true lines be-
fore the millennium Is to come.
What then, are the objections to the move
ment. and how do they weigh in such scales as
