LIVERPOOL. Sept. AT the session of
the Trades Union congress today, Mr..
Falkin. president of the congress. delivered
an address in which be said he hoped the
results OF the congress would en-
courage great labor revival.
The time had undoubtedly arrived
to energeticlly try to secure working day
of eight hours. He did not think that the
bill providing for such a working day
should be forced through the house OF
commons Immediately, Irrespective of
the wishes of the industries af-
iected; but there was no reason why
eight-hour day should not be adopted i'm
meiiately in those occupations which un-
mistakably wanted il. He advocated the
direct representation of labor in parlia-
ment. state control OF railways, and the
solution OF the land question by nationaliza-
ton.

Piles of Claims Now Awaiting Exam
The clerks in the Controllers office have
little or nothing to do at present and are
seriously thinking of taking trip to the
mountains or seashore until Mr.. Maslin,
the Secretary of the State Board of Exam
liners, returns from his visit to the southern
portion of the State. He has been absent
now several weeks and the result is that
an immense stack of claims against the
State has accumulated on his desk and is
| daily growing larger. They will stay there
| too, until Mr.. Masiin returns, but mean.
| time the clerks in the State auditing de-
partment are not able TO find anything that
will keep them busy. The San Quentin
Prison has received nothing from the State
since April last and they have claims on
hand now amounting to $4,000. The
orphan asylums in the State are waiting
for the Board of Examiners to pass on
their bills, and the Sheriffs in the different
counties are also becoming anxious. and
! inquiring about sums due them. These
are but few of the bills that are waiting
for Mr.. Maslin's return.
| The employees in the Controllers office
/ say that all they have to do now is to in
| form parties who inquire after their war
rants that their claims have not yet been
passed upon by the Board of Examiners,
but they object to basket full of claims
being brought in al once, for then every
body comes rushing in for warrants at the
same time and complain because they cam
not have them Immediately, when it re-
quires several days work to issue the
warrants.
