GOMPERS SPEAKS.
A General Eight-Hour Movement Awaiting
the Chicago Issue.

CHICAGO, Ill. April 2l-SamueI Com
Ders, president Of the National Federation
of Labor, was in this city this morning, en-
route TO Milwaukee, where he delivers an
address tonight. In an interview here to-
day he said that as soon as the strike Ofthe
Chicago carpenters is settled a general Ge-
mand by the various trades throughout
the country for eight hours as day s work
viii be made.
"The eight-hour day is the sole idea now
being considered by the labor world" said
Mr. GOmperS. "In the history OF the social
and economic movements of the world,
there has not been one which has received
at once and completely the same sympathy
that Das been accorded to the eIght-hOur
movement. 1t has covered Europe and on
May l, the working people of that CONT
nent viii demand the eight hour day. The
labor organizations of this country are de
voted solely to this one idea. We think
we can do one thing at a time better than
a multiplicity of things. To the end of OBJ
tanning the eight hour work day we are
concentrating all our energy, all our abil-
ity and all our intelligence, We are doing
il with the least possible injurious results
10 business or commerce. We dOnOt want
to stop the wheels of industry. We want
TO help them work more smoothly.
We want to remove instead of increase
friction so VIC proceed by degrees.
" Z lllf SliiACAt OtAb LlC tl@iiJ LOIL Nleg do
the first thing to be attained. Then we
have selected only one trade for which at
first this improvement must be secured.
We haze chosen the carpenters as the first
craft for which to win this benefit. When
the carpenters shall have won, we will de
mand il for the miners and mine labOrers.
Then other trades viii be taken up and
pushed forward. In this way the entire
change of the industrial system to the
eight hour day shall have been accomp-
lished with the least effect on the country's
business. There is no doubt Of the success
of the movement"
