ONLY EIGHT HOURS A DAY.
Efforts to Include All Contractors and
SubcOntractOrs.


The Senate committee education AMI
labor gave hes ring this morning on Sen
ate bill 3S9s, which provides that all con-
tractors and subcontractors for work on
government buildings shall observe the
eight-hour law in the employment of all
labor
There were present at the meeting Sena
tors Kyle, chairman; Turley, Caffery, Gear
| and Mantle. This committee appearing in
behalf of the bill consisted of Samuel Com
rers of New York. president Of the Amer
iCan Federation of Labor: James Duncan
OF Baltimore. vice president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, and general Sec
rotary of the Granite Cutters National
Union; Andrew Furnsett of San Francisco.
of the Seamens National Union. and chair
man of the legislative committee of the
American Federation of Labor; George
Chanee Of Philadelphia, of the International
T! typographical Union, and a member of the
legislative committee of the American Fed
GRAFTON, ard John A. Dernell of Chicago, of
the Cigarma kers' International Union.
At the opening Of the hearing Mr.. Com
perS gave the committee some Information
in regard to the membership of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor. which, he said.
had $4,000 members enrolled.
MIR. Duncan then addressed the committee
Tor nearly an hour on the necessity of the
passage of the bill under consideration
He said that the architect of the Treasury
Department now interprets the eight-hour
law to mean that men employed on prop
erty located on ground owned by the gov
ernment should not work more than eight
hours day, but that it had no reference
to the hours of labor that might be de-
manded of workmen by contractors and
subcontractors outside of the government
property. He showed that while eight
hours labor was enforced on the city post
office building in this city, yet the granite
which went into that building was all cut
III the state of Maine, where subcontract-
ors worked their men nine hours day.
He said there was no way at present to
prevent this violation of the law, and it
was working great hardship to the inter-
ests of laboring men.
Mr.. Duncan reviewed legislation in rela-
tion to the eight-hour law, and said as the
matter now sto)d that law was almost
dead letter. except in the cases indicated
above.
The members of the committee present
asked number Of questions regarding the
scope of the bill, and the committee ad-
1ourned to meet again next Monday MORN
ing for further hearing.
There appears to be no doubt that the
bill! under cOnside ration will receive q ia
vorable report from the Senate committee
on education and labor, and the same con-
ditlon is understood to exist in the House
committee having charge Of the bill.

Arkansas Cotton Damaged

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. g. Reports from various portions of Arkansas indicate great damage to the cotton crop by excessive rains. In the bottom lands the cotton is reported as sprOuting in the bolls and the bolls are rotting rapidly. In some localities the crop is al most entirely ruined. A few cases are reported where crop mortgaged farmers have notifiei l their supply merchants that they will not gather the crop, as 1t IS not worth the labor. In the uplands the cotton has opened rapidly and is falling out for Uant of picking, cotton pickers being scarce. In iso- lated localities farmers are ploughing up their cotton and intend to SOW wheat.

Unconscious Heroes.
San Francisco News Letter. l

San Francisco News Letter.
 One of the most numerous features of the Manila naval victory has just come to ligh, here by the receipt of a private letter from naval officer or the Unlted States cruiser Charleston. It seems that the men of Admiral Dewey's fleet Were serenely unconscious of the stir in the world caused by their achievement on May 1, until the Charleston arrived and informed them that they were famous. Then every man jack of them became the fierc- est kind or a fire eater.
 This is the way the Charles ton officer put it:
 "These people out here never imagined they were heroes un til we brought the news to them. Now they want to swat everything in or out of sight"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an lnfamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustach- ian Tube. When this tube is in- famed you have rambling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it IS entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation is taken out and this tube restored to It's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, winch is nothing but an inf1amed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrn) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for |clrculars; free.
