Bu cable 10 me United Press.

BERLIN, April %, ~1s96.-The Govern
ment in March issued decree limiting
the working hours of employees in baker
les to twelve. Today a Conservative mem
ber of the Reichstag offered an inter-
pellation questioning the expedieney of
State interference with hours of labor.
DR.. Won Boetticher, Imperial Minister
of the Interior, replied in strong speech,
in the course of which he was repeatedly
interrupted by loud and prolonged So
cialist cheers, declaring that it was the
bounden duty of the Government to linn
it the hours of trade where sixteen and
even eighteen hours of labor was the
rule. Continuing his remarks, he denied
the claim of the Socialists to exclusive Q
representation of the working classes.
The Government, he said, was incessant-
ly studying the welfare of the working
people. These utterances were heartily
cheered by the Centrists.
