The Ravalli Republican., 1898-10-26
AGAINST THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.


The record OF t}ae :ast legislative
assembly shows Andrew J. Campbell
to have been against every bill which
was introduced for the benefit Of the
laboring mon whose votes he is now
asking for The Herald some days
since published extracts from the
house joutnal showing his vote upon
the bill requiring the label Of the
Typographical union to be placed
upon all public printing. Today we
again offer to the reading and voting
public the record Of the democratic
candidate for congress as further
proof Of his disloyalty to labor and
the insincerity OF his campaign ut
terances.
On January l, 1897, Mr.. McNally
introduced II. b. No. 3, entitled San
act to regulate the hours of labor on
public works. The bill was read
first and second times and ordered
printed. (See page %, House Jour
nal) The bill provided "that eight
hours shall constitute a legal days
work for all CLASSES of mechanics,
laborers and wolkingmcn employed
by the state Of Montana, Or any mu-
nicipal Of public corporation thereof"
On January.25, under'th order OF
.third reading Of bills" II. B. No. 3
was read a third time and on motion
OF Mr.. Hepner its further ~considera.
tion was made Il special order for 3 p
m. next day. .(Sec spagel16, House

The record is clear and neither Mr.
Campbell nor his friends dare disput
it. AS if his vote against two meas
ures in the interest Of labor was no
sufficient to stamp him an enemy t.
everyone who earns his bread by hon
est toll and the sweat of his brow
we find him once more depicted il
his true colUr$.

s'HUuse lill no. 81, a bill for an &C
regulating the hours of employment
