president of the congress, delivered an ad-

markable developments as had recently oc-
Cured. The time had undoubtedly arrived
to energetically try to secure the working

an eight-hour day would injure British
trade. He did not think that bill provid-
ing for such working day should be forced
through the House of Commons immedi-
ately. irrespective of the wishes and de-
sires of the industries affected, but there
was no reason why an eight-hour day
should not De conceded Immediately to
