THE EIGHT HOUR DAY
Receives Considerable Attention From
the Federated Labor Convention.

DETROIT. December l3-The most i'm
portant matter acted upon IN the tedera-
ton of Labor Convention to-day was the
eight hour question.
Chairman Foster, of the special commit
tee on the eight hour day. reported that
reaffirmed the ideas of the eight hour day
that the campaign adopted in lS9O be iol-
lowed and the Federation assess the unions
two cents per week per capita Tor nve
weeks to procure the funds. They lett the
choice of the unions to the committee,
but recommended the coal miners as the
proper people TO follow the carpenters:
After some further debate the committee
retired for conferences, and shortly after
reported in favor of the selection of the
coal miners to lead the eight hour night
An unanimous vote adopted the report.
| A delegate took occasion TO remark that
( the miners fight would not be like that oi
/ the carpenters. the iron and steel workers
would be affected, and so also the en-
gineers; some things might be done by
those trades, not in the way of money but
in other ways.
Delegate Prosser said the iron and steel
workers were ready TO go out with the
miners.
President Gompers said both employers
and employees would feel the Importance of
the demand for eight hours by the coal
miners. On the adoption of the amend
ed constitution the convention proceeded 70
| fix the salaries. After the convention got
/ in and out of a parliamentary snarl, they
| fixed the salaries at the present figures.
The convention then went into executive
session on the question of boycotts.

New York City is regarded not only by ~,

United states generally ,as the city which has

ruption in its political life, which has been
exposed ON so many memorable occasions
and also in spite Of much social rottenness
In the LIGHT OF this fact. it appears very
strange that the New \ ork Press, which is
supposed % represent and reflect the public
opinion Of ihe'communityt to which it special
IN belongs. should be remarkable for sol many
characteristics that sink il in popular dis
esteem. The interview alleged 10 have been
held with Mr.. Cleveland boy a representative
of one of the leading newspapers ofthat city.
a newspaper which claims TO have the larg-
est circulation Of any paper published in
New York. is only one instance of the yio-
lation Of the most ordinary dictates Of decon-
cy that occurs only too frequently in the
New York Press. We venture 10 say that
such an article as the one appearing in the
sun in reply 20 this interview has rarely dis
graced any other community I'm the United
States
The relations Of the " York newspa-
pers TO each other is more mbridlod. more
captious, more Vituperatiye al times than
would appear either probable or possible,
and the citizens Of that city are COM
slanty RECALLED with journalistic squabbles
and quarcllings that bring the whole COM
munity into discredit from one end Of
the Union 10 the other. When we COM
pare the relations Of the leading
dailies Of New York with the relations
of the newspapers Of such great cities as
Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, 81. Louis.
Washlngts, the latter appear 10 great adj
vantage Aud this is still more the case
with southern newspapers. which are dis.
tinguished for moderation in their general
attitude towards each other.
