Printers Nine-HOur Fight is On.

New York, December AT the an
nual convention of the International Ty-
biographical union a year ago it was
decided to make fight for work day
of nine hours in all book and job print
ing shops as soon as possible.
This fight will be started in this city
on January 2, 1898, and will involve
5000 men, as the employing printers
have resolved to oppose the demand. 1t
was announced last night that other
cities, including Brooklyn, would also
take up the fight for nine hours and
that before the new year was a month
old 1t was probable that $4,000 men
would be on strike for shorter work
day.
On December 2 Typographical union
No, sent notice to 102 employers,
making the official demand for a work
day Of nine hours instead of ten, begin
ming on January. On Tuesday night an
executive meeting of the Typothetae
was held at which resolutions were
passed denying the demand of the print
ers and looking to raise fund of $50 900
as defense fund to fight "big six"
President Donnelly OF union No. 6 says
that within thirty days his union will
have 100000 with which to enforce its
demand.

Testing an Eight-HOur Law.

A case of great Importance has just
been elaborately argued before the
United States Supreme court, says the
Eight-Hour Herald. The question in
volved is the power of a State Legis-
lature to pass law fixing the duration
Of the workday for adults and making it
a punishable offense for an employer to
hire a man to labor more than the pre-
scribed number of hours. The case has
been appealed from the Supreme court
of Utah, which sustained the constitu-
tionality Of the Utah eight-hour law for
miners engaged in work in underground
mines
The facts are as follows An operator
named Holden was convicted for employ
ing miner for ten hours day. contrary
to the eight-hour law, and sentenced to
pay fine and to serve ffty-seven days
in jail. Holden, admitting the facts al
legged, had pleaded not guilty-frst, be-
cause the miner had voluntarily entered
into the contract for the services in ques-
ton; second, because the statute was
repugnant to the constitution of the
United States in that it deprived en-
ployer and employe of the right to con-
tract in lawful way for lawful pur-
pose; third, because the statute was
class legislation; and fourth, because it
deprived the defendant of his property
and liberty, without due process of law.
1t Is plain that these exceptions are
those which would naturally be raised
in any STATE of the Union against law
restricting the hours of adult labor.
But the familiarity of the objections
does not detract from them strength
and validity. The Supreme court Of
Utah, however, upheld the law and de-
MED petition for a writ of habeas
corpus. 1t looked upon the eight-houT
law as proper exercise of the police
power of the State in protecting life,
health and morals. AS this Is the first
American case in which State Supreme
court has sustained a law interfering
with the right of adults to make con-
tracts for labor great interest attaches
to the proceedings in the Federal court.
The decision will turn on fundamental
principles Of constitutional construction
and will constitute a. landmark in our
economic and judicial history.
