EIGHT HOUR MOVEMENT
War and Nav Departments
In England Trying the
Experiment.

WASHINGTON, May l, 1894. 1.-THE American
consul at Bradford reports some remarkable
results of the eighthour movement in Eng
land, which is again attracting attention
generally. The War and Navy Depart
ments are trying the experiment, making
eight hours days work, and if it is as sue
cessful there as in private establishments,
the proposed law will be approved by the
Government. In Bradford a majority of
the corporation employees, including the po-
lice, are ON duty but eight hours per day.
The important test just finished by the Sal
ford Iron Works, where 1000 employees were
given the same pay for forty-eight
hours per week, as they formerly had
for fifty three hours was remarkably
successful. 1t was conducted with scrup-
ulous care and extended over an entire
year. One-third of the men were on piece
work, and that system received as thorough
trial as that of weekly wages The increased
labor cost under eight hours was .04 per
cent, but one remarkable fact was demon
strated that the economy in shorter hours
for gas and fuel, for wear and tear of tools,
machinery, etc., amounted to a saving of .04
per cent, thus exactly equalizing the in
creased labor cost The actual production
surpassed that Of former years and the lost
time, which was 2.40 per cent. working So
hours per week, Amounted to only .46 per
cent in the 46 hours. In the piece work
trial it was thought that the men were al
ready doing their BEST but dividing the trial
year into three equal parts it was found
that in the first period the wages realized
were 1.76 per cent less than the
stand and piece work prices, in the
second 1.59 per cent less and in the third
76 per cent These figures, 1t is argued,
show steady adaptation to the altered con-
ditions, and that as the work proceeds in
the new year the difference win entirely
disappear. Another great Sheffield estab-
lishment which voluntarily made similar
experiment, found results as gratifying. The
heads of the two firms are members of Par
lament and intend to make use of the
experience they have gained in securing the
passage of the eight-hour bill A Bedford
agricultural firm, employing 500 men, began
the 4S hours week system April /, and the
Commissioner in London has given permits
sion for great eight-hour demonstration in
Hyde Park, May g. It is noticeable that in
no instance has the adoption of eight hours
per day been due to strikes or pressure from

BELIEVE IN THE BOYCOTT
Loeked-0ut Grifang Employees
Sanguine of an Early
Victory.

sThis trouble will be settled in few
days." said one of the locked-out employees Of
the Griffing Iron Company to reporter Of
THE JERSEY CRY NEWS this morning. The
men are becoming more confident day by
day, that President Williams win consent to
return to the old schedule of wages, and
quite few Of the employees are sanguine
that within week they will be able
to resume work on these conditions.
A more complete tie up of industry than
that Of the Grifing Company is seldom met
with, and this has given the employees hope
that the company will be only to willing to
call a truce when it finds that the employees
have by far the best of the situation. The
Steamfitters' Union, which is one of the
strongest labor organizations in the United
States, has ordered its members not to
handle any Griffing goods, and any steam
filter found violating this order will be inn
mediately expelled from the union, The
Griffing Company controls about 10 per
cent. of the steam radiator business of the
United States.
CAN'T STAND A BOYCOTT, THEY SAY.
'The officials of the Griffing Company
know very well that they cannot stand
boycott, said member Of the steamfitters
ing to bluff their men, but they will have
to give in sooner or later If they are trying
to starve the men into submission they are
wasting their time. The steamfitters and
other branches of the Central Labor Union
have promised to give the locked out EN-
ployes financial assistance il they require it.
This is not the first time that the Griffing
Company has had trouble with its employees.
Although receiving higher price for its
radiators than any other concern in the
country, the Griffing Company paid its men
the lowest wages ehave long desired an
opportunity to bring up the scale of wages
at the Grifflng shop and now that the op-
portunity has arrived we will make the best
of it."
WILL VISIT WILLIAMS.
The locked out employees met this morning
at Tanners Hall and received report from
the Steamftters' Union that committee had
been appointed to visit the officials of the
company and endeavor to settle the troucle
amicably The association appointed a
committee to meet the steamftters and both
committees will visit President Williams
this afternoon. Another meeting will be
held tomorrow morning.
