Adoption Of the Eight-Hour System Oh

ny Anglo-Amsrican cable to the Dispstch.)
LIVERPOOL. September 4.-The Trades.
Unions Congress to-day voted III favor OF
having q working day of eight hours niaue
compulsory 10y Parliament. AN ame1u-
ment to the effect that tho eignt-nour usy
ought TO be voluntary and be secured 9y
such trades as desired IL was relecteu. sir;
Abraham. a member Of Parliament,, saiu
that if the present Parliament wouiu ho'
make the adoption of the eight-hour sys-
TEN compulsory the workingmen by use OF
the franchise could get the House that
would give them what they wanted. :.
Mr.. Charles Fenwick, also q member OF
Parliament. argued that to make the gig Ut
hour dav compulsory would be an eco
nomic error. and he warned the Congress
that such a measure would prove oppres-
sive 10 the workmen and injurious to trace
and would sap the strength Oh tho traues
unions.
Dir. Tillette ridiculed the notion that
legal day of eight hours would weaken tne
unions. On the contrary, he said, IL wouI9
strengthen the position of the laoorer ana
consolidate the workers throughout the
country
Mr.. Burns held that Parliament must be
used TO obtain the eight-hour day. In
several parts of tho country after the men
had obtained the adoption of the sight-
hour plan the capitalist forces had driven
them back again to the tweiye-hour sys-
TEN. The lost ground could only be re-
covered bv a general strike unless Parlla-
ment interfered. Tho vote on the ques-
ton of making the eight-hour day COM
pulsory stood isl to 173, and the announce
ment Of the result was followed by pro-
longed cheering.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK FREIGHT TRAIN.
SUPERINTENDENT Bissell said tonight that
dastardly attempt to wreck portion OF
freight train was made this afternoon at
the Van Woert-street crossing IN TINS city.
As the train was proceeding west at that
point somebody succeeded in parting the
coupling of the secondrear car from the rest
of the train. The two cars thus separated
gained speed as they rolled down the
hill at this point. As they pass
ed through the upper part of the
Yards brakeman observed them anu
succeeded in boarding them as they rolled
on the upper railroad bridge and stopped
them within one hundred feet OF the open
draw. The draw had been opened TO
allow the passage of one of the Troy
boats, which was just passing through
when the cars were brought TO stand
still. Had the runaway ears continued on
they would have plunged down on the YES
sci, which was freighted with human nves.
Superintendent Bissell says the company
