At the Orpheum,

This week the Orpheum opens with some
very strong attractions, particularly Newell
and Shevette on the horizontal bars. They
take the most dangerous flights from bar to
bar, and one of them passes clear over the CEN
trail pole, leaving the right-hand side from a
giant swing!and landing gracefully on the lett
in perfectly confident manner. 1t is risky,
but he knows what he is about.
The Manhattan Comedy Four Quartet in
their tramp singing captivate the audience
and keep things merry Clifford and Huth in
their duets in dialect lose no time in getting
in touch with all present. Miss Huth's negro
songs are very taking.
One Of the best things on the bill is the work
of Caron and Herbert, the grotesque acrobats
They spar at each other playfully. and it looks
sometimes as though the police would be
called in to stop the fight.

ing them TO join the trade union move
ment with a view of securing all posi-
bic advantages resulting from organiza-
ton, and especially to put into opera
ton the eight-hour day as. soon as bus
mess will justify such action without
injury to the public.
That the aforesaid officers notify
the executive heads of all unions afiil-
lated with the American Federation OF
Labor of such action and seek their CO.
operation and assistance, and request
them to correspond with employees to
the end OF securing an expression of
opinion on the voluntary concession OF
the eight hour day and that all unions
whose members now work more than
eight hours day, be requested to Sc
lect committees to wait upon the en-
ployers with the same object in view.
Further, that the press, pulpit, pub
lie speakers and reformers generally be
urged to make the need for the eight
hour working day a theme of concerted
and persistent effort.
I'VE hail the decision Of the brick
layers and stonemasOns international
union to adopt the eight hour work day
in their trade as a hopeful sign OF the
irresistible movement for the establish
ment of the eight-hour wark day"

EIGHT HOUR DAY.
The American Federation of Labor
Cites Some Of the Reasons Why It
is Needed--W Orking People Urged
to Organize.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 25.-The eX-
ecutive council of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor adjourned this after
noon. 1t was given out that the head
quarters would be moved at the close
of the present year to some other city,
probably Chicago The following COM
mittee report on the eight-hour day
question was unanimously adopted and
given out as the sentiment of the coun-
Gil:
AT this hour when myriads of work
ers are seeking employment and in their
despair, numbers of men are captvat-
ed by the seductive theories and gilt
terlng promises Of securing State help
we. the American Federation of Labor,
reaffirm the necessity of concentrating
all the forces of the practical labor
movement by the voluntary and collec-
tive efforts CT the trades unions, back
ed by a sympathetic public opinion.
The general and constant introduce
ton of machinery, the minute sub-di-
visions of labor, the irregularity Of en-
ployment the continually recurring
periods Of industrial stagnation and
financial panics, the hopeless wall OF
the unemployed, all demand equaliza-
ton Of the opportunities that will come
from the general adoption Of the eight
hour day. All other lines and econOm-
ic theories within our ranks should be
subordinated to the great task OF giving
work to the unemployed and the better
ing OF the wages and the conditions Of
all who toll.
There is no movement of more value
to the working people than that which
will tighten the burdens of those who
wander our byways and highways
searching in vain for a better chance to
live. The realization OF the eight-hour
day TO them means better food and re-
ment, happier homes, better citizens, a
nobler manhood and a higher ciyiliza-
ton.
"As we approach this question, we
realize fully the magnitude of the inter
ested and selfish forces arrayed against
us. the indifference of the working peo-
pie themselves. their old time preju-
dces and the many discussions which
divide them. More than all. we recog-
nize the need for a more thorough and
complete organization of every craft
and occupation on trade union lines be-
fore We can undertake a general and
simultaneous stand for the eight-hour
day. This severe industrial crisis from
which we are now emerging. however,
should be a helpful lesson to lead the
industrial classes into such compact
organization that when once attained,
will bring still greater achievements
for the working people.
I'VE heartily approve the shorter
work day asked for by the journeymen
horseshoers' national union, and tender
it and the united brotherhood of car
penters orr active cooperation and
united assistance in their present efforts
TO reduce the hours of toll. We con-
graduate them that they are in posi-
ton to undertake this move without
our financial aid.
ITO insure continued and successful
efforts by the working people in this
direction. the president and secretary of
the American Federation of Labor are
hereby directed to issue an address to
