Newell GETS THERE.
THE EIGBT-aOUR DAY.
The Division of a st. Paul ConYen-
ton That Will Have an Impor-
tant Bearing UpOn II

The eight-hour question is2 beginning
to take hold upon all classes of en-
ployers, as well as upon the Journey
men in many of the leading trades.
The National Association of Brick
layers gave much attention Ito the sub
iect at the annual convention, held last
week in Kansas City. and the National
Association of Builders is to devote con-
siderable time to the important and in
tereStlng topic III Its annual convention,
which meets in st. Paul, commencing
Monday, Jan. 81.
The American Federation of Labor is
pushing the movment with the great
est energy. in Ordert prepare such of
the building Industries as may be pre-
pared 10 demand the observance of the
eight-hour rule May l. The executive
council. at its meeting in New
York, mapped out large amount
of work in the way of agltating the
question and provided for the assign
mcnt of a number of prominent
speakers, includ ny George E. Mcneil,
of Boston, to lecture upon the question
and arouse the working people to the
necessity of thought preparatory TO
action. The council also provided for
the publication and distribution of the
opinions of statesmen, clergymen, edu-
Gators. business men and others in
favor of eight hours, and for other
means of keeping the question fresh in
the minds of the people.
The council did not determine upon
any particular trade as particularly
qualified for instiFuting the eight-hour
test, but allowed that matter to remain
undecided until after the convention of
the national brickla; erS and master
builders. The briCkiayerS are already
working under nine-hOur system, and
many of the carpenters have secured
nine, and even eight hours for a days
labor The carpenters of Chicago, Den
yer and several other leading Northern
cities have the eight-hour rule now, and
many others, it is understood, are pre-
pared to request it.
Deep and extended interest attaches
to the approaching convention of the
national association of builders, which
is to be held in st. Paul, because the
first topic for discussion is: "Shall the
national association recommend the
adoption of the eight-hour day in the
building trades, and. if SO, when and
under what cOnditIuns?' The-whOle of
the morning session of the 2Sth instant
has been assigned to the consideration
of the question. and the following morn
inc has been reserved TO continue it, if
necessary.
The federation representatives are
hopeful that the national builders aSso-
citation will approve of the eight-hour
day. EX-PreSideht Milton Blair and
National Secretary Sayward are under
stood TO have argued quite strongly in
its favor.
