GROWTH OF THE EIGHT HOUR MOVE
MENT.

The present attempt to reduce the hours
of labor Is by no means the Gest Of the
kind. The movement to reduce the day
from u hours to 10 vas regsrded as almost
IS great an innovation as the present
Between the years 1850 and 1866, there
was great sgitatioa in this country for a
reduction 20 10 hours. II was not till
1874 that Massachusetts placed ten hour
law for corporate empioyments upon the
statute book But in some States the 10
hour system has no; yet been put into p-ac'
tice. Lsbor wss then to a great extent
unorgsnized and the demand not 50 uni.
versal ss a. present, but still the local
opposition seems to have been even greater
then than low.
The eight hour agitation took q definite
shape after the adjournment CT the first
annual congress OF trades and labor union
ct Baltimore IN 1866 In lS67-65 q bill
was introduced into Congress and passed
making eight hours day for Government
employees. But the hostility OF Federal Of.
6cisls to the measure has prevented it
from being carried out successfully. Presi-
dents GRANT, ARTHUR, and CLEVELAND
have had to interfere in behalf Of the law
Since the beginning Of the present Admin
istrstion efforts have been made to rigidly
enforce the law. New York now has q law
providing that eight hours shall be con-
sidered legal days work TOR all classes of
workers except those working upon farms,
and domesties.
Thus it will be seen that g movement
Ike the present is by no means q new
thing. Others have adjusted themselves
to the benefit of oil classes ard We may
expect the same to be done, By and By, in
the present agitation. But great loss may
result before the question OF wages for the
eight hour day ere adjusted
