AN ALLEGED VIOLATION,
The Federation of Labor Complains of
| Reimbursement of n Law.

The Federation of LabOr Complains of
NOn-EnfOrcementO of n LAW.
As the result of an investigation asked for
by the local committee of the Federation OF
Labor 1T is understood that District Attor-
ney Birney will present to the grand jury
the case of Thomas Banks, a subcontractor
on the Easily Point sewer, who, 1t is alleged
has violated the provisions of the eight-hour
law by working his men more than eight
hours daily.
The Crawford Company, 1t Is stated, has
the contract for the construction of the
sewer, District work, and to Banks grant,
ed a contract for driving the necessary piles
and for laying the flooring over the piles
south of the old naval observatory. In per-
FORMING this work, II Is alleged, Banks
worked his men more than eight hours a
day, and 1T is claimed, that the work Is one
on which the law prohibits more than eight
hours labor on any one calendar day by a
mechanic or labOrer. The law was passed
in August, 1872, and prohibits any officer
agent or employee of the United States gov
eminent, or of the District of Columbia, or
any contractor or subcontractor from work
ing any mechanic or laborer on any work
of the government. or District, more than
eight hours on any calendar day, unless in
case of extraordinary emergency, and pro-
vides a penalty of a fine of not more than
81 1000, or Imprisonment not exceeding six
months, or both.
There have been. 1t is said, two prosecu-
tons under the act in question. One was a
case in Mobile. Ala, where a man who was
building a barge for the government en-
ployed his men on the WORK more than
eight hours day. But the court held that,
while the barge was being built for the
government, 1t did not become the property
of the government until after ii had been
duly inspected and accepted by the govern
ment, and the complained-of employment
was not therefore upon government work.
And similar decision was rendered by the
court in the second case. In this latter case
a subcontractor, engaged in building a crib
for the government at Buffalo, n. Y, work
ed his men more than eight hours a day,
but the decision of the court was to the eff
feet that, as the crib had first to pass a
satisfactory inspection before becoming the
property of the government, work on it
previous to its acceptance by the govern
ment was therefore not government work.
1t is commended, however. in the case of
Banks that there can be no question of the
sewer being District work, and it is I'M
derstood that his defense will be that the
working of his men more than eight hours
a day became necessary through extraordi-
nary emergency.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Notwithstanding the statement that
Washington has 1.-The best government in
the world" and that the Tammany ring
gives New York about the worst in the
world. the facts and figures as to street
lighting do not bear out these statements.
The mayor of New York, in speaking of
the gas companies there, says: The city
Is at the mercy of these companies. They
farm out the territory to suit their conven-
fence, and charge US what they please"
and yet bad as is their condition. they
pay one company but s12 year for street
gas lamps, burning $3.50 hours, another
company $3.50 For s13.04 for 81. 900 hours. and
the third company $3.50. while here in the
District We pay S21.5O per lamp

PRESIDENT Cleveland has decided
that the International Monetary Con
ference, which was to have reassem-
bled on the goth Of this month at
Brussels, shall not convene until
November next. AS the United
States has no new policy or pro-
gramme to lay before the conferrees,
it would have been the height OF
absurdity to bring them together
again at the time indicated. Pro-
badly by next November the admin
istration may be able to present
some definite news for the consider
alton OF the conference. The
repeal OF the Silver Purchase
act should be the first step
toward clarifying the situation, and
when this has been done the United
States may 60 into the conference
with something like an intelligent
purpose.

THE OPINIONS OF WORKlNGME N,
Regarding the Operation of the Reform
Clubs Tariff Bill.

Regarding the Operation of the Reform
Clubs Tariff Bill.
NEW YORK, May 10.-The American
Protective Tariff League asked working
men their opinion of E Ellery Anderson 8
statement in connection with the R ,form
Clubs tariff bill. Mr.. Anderson said:
"None Of these Industries will take
one hundreth part of a cent from the
rate of the wage Garner in this country
is in no manner dependent upon the
existence or non existence of protective
industries"
Among the replies were the following
J. A. Farrell employed by the Butlor
Hard Rubber Company, Butler, N. J.
Working people will have to stand the
lions share of the reduction. Superin
tendent A. L. Shafer of the Chambers
burg Hosiery Company, Chambersburg
Pa: Should the Reform Club Tariff bill
become law, manufacturers must shut
up their mills or reduce wages. John ].
Walsh employed by Owen Osborne hosiery
manufacturer Philadelphia: In hosiery
manufacture the effect upon wages
would be terrible. Rates proposed
would surely cause our markets to be
flooded with foreign goods. Overseer
John j. Sheehsn of the Mapleville Mills
Mapleville, R. l. 1t would be repe-
tition of the old story of hard times
which always follow low tariff. A. W.
Gibson, overseer in the wooden mills
of Taft, Burbank s. Murdoch Proc
torsville, VT: Wooden mills must be
closed or wages reduced.
Other opinions are of the same general
character,
