The Telephone Question.

TO the Editor OF the Indianapolis Jou rnaf:
So the Council proposes to revoke the charter
of the Central Telephone Company unless it will
furnish service to those whose contracts are
cancelled March 81, until all other contracts are
cancelled.
Now, Mr.. Editor, is this fair to us subscribers
whose service is not to be discontinued April J.
and to the telephone company9 Why should
those whose service is to be stopped at the end
of this month use the Council to play dog in
the manger" with such of us as are to continue
longer, and wish to have service until our con
tracts are legally terminated and pay for it at
the legal rate. I am told that the con-
tracts terminated March 81 are mostly

tween the company and the citizens committee,

State was against the telephone company it
would refund the excess collected, and might
terminate such contracts on fifteen days notice

lived up to its part of the agreement, and has
refunded. or is refunding, the excess charges

in answer to inquiry, says that the contract

The Labor Question.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Time and experience have proven the imprac
ticability of a socalled eight-hour law, at least
so far as it applies to the general labor question
The hours of labor are regulated now, and always
will be, by the amount of mental and physical
force required to perform the same. A man
may attend machine, requiring but little mon
tai and physical effort, for eleven hours per day,
and come out at the end of the week in as good
condition as the man at eight or ten hours per
day requiring more mental and physical force.
To say to the farmer the help you employ to
assist You in your crops shall work eight hours
per day and no longer wiltshire every man who
knows anything about farming exceedingly
silly. It is equally absurd to say the same to
man who has placed large means in the plant
of manufacturing establishment. 1t would
be physical impossibility for him to
run his machinery eight hours per day, and no
longer without loss. Work conld not be put
through with profitable results in so short a
time But the gain In the eighthour labor sys-
tenn is presumed to come TO the laborer This
is an error. 1t would recur as much to his dis
advantage as to his employer, for. with the
shortening of the days work. and the amount
of labor performed, there must come a CORE
spending reduction of the wages. To assume the
contrary is to say that the employer must pay
ABOUT one-rourCn more wages IMAM ne Is now
paying Where is the employer that could stand
thisg You can count the establishments on
your fingers that pay dividends under the pres
ent system of labor. Any change, therefore,
that would compel an advance in wages, after
the manner proposed, would close many estab-
lishments, and the question would be,
not so much the number OF hours
we shall work. but rather to get
work any number of hours, and at any price.
But it is said that the shortening of the days
work will give employment to more men, and
that there is superabundance of laborers, and
all must have employment. This idea goes on
the presumption that the poor man whose
wages scarcely support him and his family in
comfort must divide. This won't do. 1t is the
God given right Of every man to employ all his
time and powers in subscribing his own interests
1t is not the duty of any man to divide his time
or his earnings with the careless, idle. profit
gate, whisky drinking, tobacco chewing man.
Such division will do the latter no good, for in
nine cases out of ten such division will only
pander to vice. Every man by his own industry,
intelligence and frugality, must work out his
own destiny The eight hour idea. as popularity
believed and preached, is humbug. 1t is
played upon too often by who have not
given the matter, in all its bearings, serious
sideration. Alb.
