CONGRESSIONAL AFFAIRS.
The Lard Bill Passes the House
With Great Ease.
ALSO EIGHT HOUR MEASURE.
Congressman Atkinson Makes q Good
Speech on tho latter Biil-Can.
non Has Another Tilt In tho
House OF Representatives.


WAsuiHoToS, D. O., August oS.-Con
gressman Atkinson spoke in the House
to-day on the eight hour bill. His argu.
ment was close and interesting. To be.
gin with he said that tho great labor or.
ganizations OF the country demand this
law. He believed that an eight hour
law would in n measure prevent strikes,
and would tend TO bring employees and
employers nearer together. Eight hours,
he thought, was enough for any man to
toll on n stretch, and further he
thought it was the nob!ea. duty OF tho
government TO protect the weak as
against the strong. In this, as In all
things, such n law would afford time for
intellectual development and would
give employment to thousands Of men
now seeking work. II ten hours q day
are required for the work OF the coun.
try now, and eight should be prescribed
by law, it would afford employment to
one-tifth more men.
Agaln an eight hour law would tend
to lessen the existing over.productiou OF
manufactured products, and finally it
would be step in the direction Of dig.
nifying labor.
At the conclusion OF his speech Mr..
Atkinson was warmly congratulated by
many OF his colleagues.

OF the b. B. and 4. Knight cotton mills,

Manufacturing Company and the Per.
kins nail mill.
The lawyer arrived yesterday, and his
presence suggests that the deal has so
lar advanced as 10 require legal papers
to be drawn. When seen Mr.. johnson
inadvertently let iall a reference to the
nail mill and then concluded that he
would not say anything for publication.
Bonnard and Engle arc capita,iets, the
iormer having been ten years director
in tho Bank OF England. Benn and
Dorsey are English manufacturers and
are here for the purpose of apprsisin Q
the value OF the lands. Experts have
examined tho banks OF come Of the
mills, and the work Of getting at the
value OF the properties has been going
on several months. 1t is known Charles
Fletcher hes given the syndicate n price
Tor his big worsted mills at Olpeyyillp.
the largest and most profitable mills
that makes these goods in the State.
The Englishmen do not hesitate 10 say
that they are here negotiating for mill
property, but say that it will be q week
before they will be ready to speak I, |
deals. One Of them said yesterday tha,
stock would be put on both the English

offered TO America. It was stated by
MIR. Bonnard that Senator Calvin S,

The negotiations for the Pit:sburg iron
plant have been opened several times il
is understood and are likely to come oui
successfully for the syndicate. The price

Experts who are believed 10 have
been in the employ Of the English syn.
dicate visited this country not long AGO.
and remained some time paying particu.
lar attention to the Fletcher mills Il,
Johnstown and at Olneyville, it is
thought preparatory to the present visit
and the subsequent offer OF the English
capitalists. Several well known manu-.
iacturers say that tho gigantic scheme
would materially change the business in
the State, and that the small Mills would
be unable to compete with syndicate
controlling the largest and best mills in

the administration Of Benjamin Harri.
