EIGHT HOUR Law.
IT'S EXTENSION TO CONTRACTORS
UNDER THE GOVERNMENT IS
OPPOSED.

AAo La A1llNOAOLN IL OO4NlulAOlll(eo
UNDER TINE GOVERNMENT rs
OPPOSED.
Washington, June 1S.-A sub-com-
mittee Of the Senate Committe on Eiu-
cation and Labor. gave a hearing to
the representatives Of corporations and
others which have contracts un-
der the government and which oppose
the extension Of the eight-hOur law to
contractors under the government, the
subcommittee having previously heard
representatives of labor favoring the
law. Among those present who were
heard, were the following: Charles II.
Cramp, president, and Mr. McCammon,
secretary OF. the William M. Cramp &
Sons Ship and Engine Building Com
pany; ex-United States Senator Hig-
gins, representing several Delaware
companies; exIRepresentative Payson,
attorney for the Newport News Ship
building Company; r. p. Landemann,
president, and Mr. Davenport, superin-
tendent Of the Bethlehem Steel and
Iron Company, and James Galley,
president, and Mr.. CORY, superinten-
dent Of the Carnegie Company.
Mr.. Cramp argued that II the bill
should become a law, it would be i'm
possible for his company to compete
in bidding for the construction OF for
eisn .warships. He said he was now
building warships for both Russia and
Japan, and that it would be impractl-
cable to work men on the American
vessels for only eight hours and those
on the others for a greater length OF
time. He could not compete with the
European countries in bidding for such
work If compelled to work under an
eight hour law.
Mr.. Payson said that IL the bill
should become law it would be neces-
sary for the Newport News Company
either to refuse government business or
go out Of business, for If government
work should be accepted at all under
the law, it would be necessary to adopt
the eight-hour system for all employees.
This condition Of affairs would render
II impossible to proceed with busi-
ness. Mr. Payson expressed the opin-
ion. in reply to a question from Senator
Gear, that under the proposed law,
wheat purchased by the government
would have to have been grown by
men working under the eight-hour sys-
TEN.
Mr.. Landemann said that the firm
supplying coal to the Bethlehem works
and other sub-contractors had notified
him that in case the bin should be
come law they would not enter int
another contract with him, as it wouS
be necessary for them to operate in ac
cordance with its terms, which thel
would not undertake to do.

Thorn street watch box, on the p, w.

amputated at the Delaware Hospital, is
able to be about town on his crutches.
He left the hospital last Monday. The
leg which was amputated had given
Mr.. Stewart trouble ever since he was
hurt on the railroad about fifteen years
ago and was about to kill him, having
poisoned his system to such an extent
that he was a continual sufferer. Since
the operation he has felt like another
man and is gaining in flesh.

THIErR RECKIESs DISREGARn.


Before the submarine mines were
laid in the Delaware river and other
harbors along the Atlantic sea'board,
the War Department prepared and pro
mulgated strict orders regulating the
navigation OF all streams so affected.
These orders had a double object IN
view. It was to protect friendly ship
ping from damage and possible de-
struction and to prevent ships, when
passing through the mine fields, from
fouling with the cables and mines and
displacing them.
From the time OF the laying OF the
mines down to the present day the
War Department has been sub
jected TO much annoyance by the reck-
less disregard Of its orders in this be
llalf by masters OF vessels. IN New
York harbor the shad fishermen even
had the hardihood to cut the mine
cables, their excuse being that they
interfered with the drift Of their nets.
In other places vessels have plunged
through the mine fields at full speed.
tearing up both mines and cables Here
in the Delaware one mine was dis
placed and the patrol boat crew was
forced TO threaten to shoot a captain
who persisted that he would pass
through the fields after the hours pre-
scribed. A dispatch from Washington
says that reports received at the War
Department show a continued neglect
by owners and masters Of vessels OF
the engineer regulations bearing on
the entry Of vessels to mined harbors
after sunset and before sunrise. The
officials expressed surprise at these
fragrant violations OF the rules, as the
vessels put themselves constantly in
great danger Of being blown up and Of
losing the lives Of all on board, while
at the same time they subject the de-
partment TO great annoyance and to the
necessity Of repairing the damage done.
Only last week a vessel coming into
New York harbor dragged the cables
connecting the mines with the shore
batteries a long distance. with the
result that some time will be necessary
10 repair the damage done This Is
only an isolated case. Even II the
vessels themselves do not suffer by vio-
lating these regulations, their crews
and passengers are in danger. as the
sentries on duty. upon a refusal Of the
vessel to heaye 20. sometimes open fire
upon the offenders with their guns.

Spanish naval commander here, who placed
the Admiralty launch Esperanza at his dis
posal The admiral accompanied the mar
shall on board the Villaverde. An affee-
tionate farewell took place on the wharf
between Marshal Blanco and a number or
his old friends and he warmly embraced
General Ruberter. his old companion in
arms and trusted friend. Only personal
friends and few officers accompanied Gen.
Blanco, none of the crowds on such ocea-
sions waiting to see him for the last time.
A body of troops, however. to do military
honors to the former captain general was
present.
AS soon as Marshal Blaneo arrived on
board the vilIaverde the vessel weighed
anchor Sailing with Marshal Blanco on the
Villaverde are Generals Bernale and Tjeda,
Colonies Cevallos, Pagliery, Tusser and
Domenicio and several officers of lesser
rank belonging to his personal staff.
Lieut.. Col j. G. Delgado has been ap-
pointed chief of police of Havana, succeed
ing Colonel Pagliery.
The first prize in to-day's lottery fell to
the government, the winning ticket being
among those unsold, and thus, under the
regulations, becoming government property.
The Spanish mail steamer Covadonga,
which sailed yesterday, carried 2,466 troops,
instead of 1900, as formerly cabled. The
Villaverde carried 2ZS.
General Castellanos, while leaving the pail
ace this afternoon to take drive, stopped
casually to inspect some food that was be-
ing served to soldiers in the palace yard.
He tasted it, and called the quartermaster
sergeant and gave him sound dressing
down for putting such stuff before soldiers.

A "GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT" /"
Railway officials Promise TO Restore
East-BOund Freight Rates.

CHICAGO, Nov SO.-The officials of the
east-bound roads met in the offices of the
Western Freight Association to-day and
formed 'gentlemens agreement to re-
store freight rates to normal tariff on Dec
II. The meeting was the elimination of
the generalization in Eastern freight rates,
which are in the worst condition in years.
Since the Supreme Court gave it's decision
in the Joint Traffic Association case rates
have been going from bad to worse. Now
that navigation has practically closed and
all business has to go by rail the railroads
want higher rates. AS the law prohibits the
making of agreements for the maintenance
of rates the managers had no other way
to accomplish the desired end than to agree
on their word to maintain tariff rates. The
session was stormy and it was found no
easy task to overcome the objections of all
the roads.
