Judge Wiley P. Harris. chairman of the
Judiciary committee, submitted report
from that committee In response to an in

The committee says the convention has the
right, and the theory that vote of the

has no support in any principle
of constitutional law and is merely
political theory of doctrine
which has in some states acquired authority
from usage. The doctrine has never pre-
vailed in Mississippi and has no sanction

EIGHT HOURS FOR TOLL.
The Question Debated In the Trade
Union Congress.

The Question Debated In the Trades
Union Congress.
LIVERPOOL. Sept. 4.-The trades unions
congress to-day voted in favor of having
working day Of eight hours made com
pulsory by parliament. An amendment to
the effect that an eight-hour day ought to
be voluntary and be secured by such trades
as desired 1t was rejected. Mr.. Abraham,
member of parliament said that IL the
present parliament would not make the
adoption OF the eight-hour system compul-
sorry the workingmen, by use Of the fran
chise, could get a house that would give
them what they wanted.
Charles Fenwick, also a member of par
Lament, argued that to make the eight
hour day compulsory would be an economic
error, aud he warned the congress that such
measure would prove oppressive to work
men and injurious 10 trade, and would sap
the strength OF the trades unions.
AN OPPOSITE VIEW,
lMr. Tillet ridiculed the notion that a
legal day of eight hours would weaken
the unions. On tho contrary, he said, IL
would strengthen the position Of the
laborer and consolidate the workers
throughout the country.
Mr.. Burns held that parliament must
be used to obtain an eight-ho day.
In several parts Of the country
after the men had obtained the adoption Of
the eight-hour plan the capitalist forces had
driven them back again to the twelve-hour
system. Tue lost ground could only be re-
covered by a general strike unless parlia-
ment interfered.
The vote on the question of making the
eight-hour day compulsory stood ISL to 173,
and the announcement Of the result was
followed by prolonged cheering.

and he hoped that the senator from Minne-
sofa would cooperate with him in putting
cotton bagging when 1t was reached) on
the free list, and then they could all sing
together. 'Blest be the tie that binds."

them as they rolled upon the upper railroad
bridge and stopped them within 100 feet of

TO allow the passage OF one Of the
