Eight Hours i'm Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Union of Dec. 2S.
makes the following important an
nouncement:
City Solicitor Warwick has officially
decided that the eight-hour law is appli-
cable to the departments under the con-
troll of the city government. To the
city bureaus, particularly those of gas,
highway and water, this decision is an
important one, and will have a great
bearing on their future management
The peculiar part of the law is that it
has been upon the statue books without
being enforced for twenty-one years,
having been enacted at the Legislative
session of 1865. 1t has remained a dead
letter during all this time, and if even
thought of by the heads of departments
was never enforced.
This decision was brought about, after
considerable effort, by the active inter-
ference of the Philadelphia United La
Dor League. The law, we understand,
applies to all kinds of labor through
out Pennsylvania, except the "agricul-
tural"

Wages, Past and Present.

A correspondent of Wade's Fibre and
Fabric, who, on looking over some musty
manufacturing books, came across a
payroll fifty years old, was induced by
what he saw there, to ask himself this
question: Have wages risen or fallen in
that time? And by careful comparing
and. figuring he now comes to the newt
able conclusion, that the share of labor
in its product is decidedly smaller now
than it was fifty years ago. Within
easy remembrance of men still quite
young, this share has suffered great
decline. In 1885 weavers we're running
six looms for about 95 cents per day,
while the weavers of 1872 were earning
$1.25 per day, off four looms. Note
that the value of the product of the six
looms In 1885 was considerably greater
than the value of the product of the
four looms of 1872.

In regard to the trouble of the Pro-

CHICAGO.
The Eight-Hour Movement in the MUIR
derOus City of the West.

The Eight-Hour Movement in the Muir
derous City of the West.
The general impression is that Chicago
will not confine itself to the programme
recently outlined by the Federation of
Labor at Boston. That body decided
to concentrate its efforts in May, 1890,
upon certain trades favorably situated,
leaving the others to follow later. A
strike assessment of two cents per capita
a week was decreed upon all the Unions
represented in the Federation. The
building trades will probably be selected
to start the eight-hour movement as
being the most perfect of the so-called
non competitive trades; the idea being
that there could be no competition be-
tween different cities in these branches,
and, therefore, the argument that it was
impossible to adopt the eight-hour
system at one place unless it was intro
duced universally could not be used.
But in Chicago the building trades
have virtually had the eight-hour day
for two years. Chicago labor organiza-
tions will consequently make their de-
mand on other industries as well. That
was the sentiment at the meetings of
central bodies held last Sunday. Con-
ditions will be reversed in Chicago. The
building trades will assess themselves
to assist the other trades in Chicago,
instead of taking their assistance to OBJ
tain what they already have.
What industries will make the demand
is not yet known. But there is gen.
eral belief that many will do so, because
the situation is much more favorable
than it was in 1886. Since that time
there has been great deal of discussion
on the eight-hour question and kindred
topics, and people who at that time saw
no reason for the existence of trades
organizations and did not know of any
difference between capital and labor
have commenced to think about the
matter. The economic conferences and
the agitation of the question during
political campaigns have done much to
make it a live topic. Above all it is
thought the action of political conven.
tions in indorsing parts of the labor pro-
gramme and recognition of the eight
hour labor day by the municipal author

WAGE-SLAVERY ON THE DEEP
The Sailors Union Demands Higher Rates
and Protection from Land sharks.

The Sailors Union Demands Higher Rates
and Protection from Land sharks.
The Sailors and f'iremen's Union met
last Friday evening at 26 Albany street
and adopted circular to ship.owners
and to the Mercantile Exchange. 1t asks
them to appoint a committee of con-
ference to meet a similar committee
from the sailors and firemen ON Jan. IA,
for the purpose of deciding upon uni
form rate of wages to be paid to seafar-
ing men.
The circular says that the condition of
very many seafaring men is very bad.
Every sailors boarding house has a
groggery where vile drinks are sold.
Sailors are compelled to 60 to these
boarding houses in consequence of an
understanding that exists between the
keepers of these places and ships Cap
tains. Even those seamen who have
homes of their own in this city and vici-
nifty have to put up at the boarding
houses if they want to get job. The
boarding house keepers are kdown to
pay the Captains So for every sailor that
they supply them with, and this bribe
induces Captains to take sailors only
from boarding houses.
In England and Australia ship owners
now hire their hands from the uuion
and get good able-bodied seamen.
The union intends to submit the fol-
lowing schedule of wages to the Com
mittee of Ship-Owners and the Mercan.
tile Exchange For able-bodied seamen
on steamers, $50 per month; for able
bodied seamen on sailing vessels, $35 !;
for machinery greasers, $50; for fire.
men, $40; for coal passers, $35. These
rates of wages it is claimed are already
being paid by the Savannah and the Pa
cific Mail Lines.
The union wants to amellorate the
condition of its members without re-
course to strikes, if possible; but should
the ship owners refuse to accede to the
demands of the union, big strike of
sailors, longshoremen, and tiremen is
threatened in this city.
On Jan. 13. the sailors, longshoremen,
and other dock laborers will have great
demonstration in this city, Jersey City,
and Hoboken.

ENGLISH LEGISLATION
since the beginning of the nineteenth
century has partaken more or less of a
socialistic character, such as the Miners
and Factory acts. The Socialists simply
wanted to carry this out to its logical
sequence, and to make it thorough. They
hold that not only private ownership of
land should be prevented, but private
ownership of capital also
OF legislation already obtained in Eng
land are the Factory and Miners Regula-
ton acts, the Employers Liability law,
the Truck acts, and the acts for sanitary
purposes Mr. Gladstone's great bill for
regulating rents in Ireland was also of
great Importance as precedent. Of
legislation now sought one of the chief
points is the Eight. Hour law, legal
holiday once week, the abolition of
night work and of child labor. England
has already under Government control
not only the post-office, but the telegraph
and parcel post system, savings banks,
and system of insurance in connection
with the post-office Municipalities con-
troll in many cases the water and gas
supply, erect libraries, baths, and wash
houses, build wharves and docks, etc.
1t is further sought to SO extend their
industrial functions that they may give
work to the great army of unemployed
labor-a question which is causing much
trouble in great Britain.
Mr.. Chubb advocated graduated tax
on incomes, all below certain amount
to be entirely exempt. Further, the
State should absorb all the unearned
increment on leasehold property, and by
gradually raising the land tax finally
acquire all the land. These were only
first steps in the direction of Socialism,
the purpose Of which is to instruct the
citizen, to preserve him from want,
care for him in sickness, and generally
secure his moral and physical welfare.
The lecturer received hearty round
of applause and the Chair announced
that questions would be in order.
George Schilling questioned the speak
ers statement that the free competition
system of Adam Smith had been fairly
tried and had failed.
7. J. Morgan said the press Of America
held that the legislation quoted by the
speaker, as BEING Sfcialistic was not of
that character at all. ], What means did
the Socialists take to convert the editors
in England-moral suasion or club?
