The Eight-Hour Move In England-Not
Prepared to Legislatc.
II is very doubtful If any progress will
be made this session in regard to the eight
hour movement. Legislators are for the
most part chary Of it, the country is not
ready Tor it, and the movement itself can
not be said to be popular. In certain
branches of labor, especially in mining. an
eight-hour law might be available and pro-
mote the welfare Of the men, but In any
employment such a law would be felt to be
a distinct interference with the rights of tho
working classes. As q mass the latter do
not regard the movement with much favor,
and few of their representatives are agitat.
ing with q view to its accomplishment.
The members of the parliament who have
undertaken to further the movement have
but little real influence, and that of Lord
Randolph Churchill, one of its pronounced
promoters, having decidedly vaned since
his recent attack upon the government. It
is felt that a voluntary movement in favor
OF eight hours as a working day would be .
grand thing and would do much to aid tho
condition of the working classes, but q
compulsory law would work evil and carry
much distress in its train. Notifications
Of the bill are being considered by many
labor representatives, who are endeavoring
to solve the question ofhow to benefit some
without harming others. Mr.. Cunningham
Graham intends, when the London Il
Northwestern railway bill comes up for q
second reading, to move that it be an in
struction to the committee on the bill to
insert q clause limiting the hours of labor
to eight per day, but not excluding work.
ing in shifts Of eight hours. RailroadlnR
and mining are two employments in which
the measure can safely be applied, as the
arduous and trying nature of the work
renders it impossible for q man to Faithfully
perform more than eight hours consecutive
labor. 1t is in special cases like these that
the promoters expect first to launch the
movement and extend its application as
necessity and opportunity arise.

the cardinals are advocating the idea that
the future pope to be elected to succeed
Leo NH shall leave Italy Immediately be

OF the pope there is untenable. Pope Leo
is very strongly opposed to this scheme,
and be has appealed to the cardinals that
his last days on earth shall be comforted
by the assurance that such q course shall
be definitely abandoned.
