FOR EIGHT HOURS.
4 Conference With the
Commissioners.
The Carpenters Argue Their Way
Into Favor on the Legal-Day's
Work Proposition.

Messrs. W. ii. Bagge. w. a. Golf and
Robert Leinhart. representing the union
carpenters of this city, had a conference
with the Midwinter Fair Commissioners
yesterday afternoon in relation to eight
hours work.
Responding to a number of questions put
TO them by Direc General de Young
they explained their side of the contro-
versy. and with such effect that a promise
was given TO them of favorable action.
The argument which they used was this:
Ii an eight-hour basis were established
upon the construction work of the exposi-
tion buildings, according to the legal length
of days work recognized by the Govern
ment, it would prevent one man getting
more than his share of work while fel-
low-workman was suffering in idleness.
One of the purposes of the fair, they
reasoned, had been to give work to the un-
employed. Now, if a contractor were TO
work his men twelve hours instead of eight,
1t must follow that two men would be
made to do the work of three, while the
third man would be left idle. But if. OH

of palace of Rameses.
Notwithstanding the fact that there Is
just now a revolution in Brazil, Admiral
Mauritz of RIO Janelro says that if it
should be impossible for the Brazilian
Government to he officially represented at
the Midwinter Fair he has no doubt that
the Brazilian exhibitors now at Chicago
will take the matter into their own hands
and erect building of their own at San

reached by the Costa Riean exhibitors at
Chicago. They are trying to induce their
Government to provide for an official rep

Commissioner Stephani has been asked by
the committee to invite in their behalf the
German .ex hi bitOrs at Chicago to exhibit
in the Midwinter Fair in body.
The concession for the Castle Of Heidel-
berg will probably be granted to-day.
No contract has yet been made by the
executive committee, as has been erron-
eously stated in some quarters. The CASTLE

will be located in the midst of a German
village, and will be the center OF many

and the village.
He as deposited $500 as a preliminary
guarantee, and, after some telegrapbic
communication with representatives Of
the fair in Chicago. the executive commit
tee has practically concluded to grant the
concession.
The executive committee is ready to
receive bids for the laying of the entire

upon his job for the additional four hours.

employed, would get work and none Of

1t would not interfere with the wishes
of the contractors to keep their jobs going
for twelve hours in the least, or even
longer if they so desired ; on the contrary,
it would provide them with greater CON-
petent ability to perform the labor in the
shape of carpenters not worn out.
The commissioners promised to have a
