WANTS OF LABOR.
Needed Legislation Pointed Out by
Samuel G0mpers In Letter
to the President.

Washington, Nov. 26.-President
Samuel Gompers, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, has addressed letter
TO President Mckinley, at the request
of the latter, containing suggestions as
TO legislation in the interest of labor
which, he believes, the president ought
TO discuss in his forthcoming annual
message to congress.
Concerning the eight-hour work day
for all government employees, Mr..
Gompers proposes that law be passed
providing for the establishment of the
eight-hour work day on all work done
by or for the government, whether that
work be done by contractors or sub
contractors. He expresses the opinion
that the government might. with profit
and advantage, become q direct en-
ployer of labor where it is practica BILE,
the government suffering the loss
which such intervention between the
work and contractors implies.
Mr.. Gompers points out some OF the
evils of competition between the prod
uce of free labor and that OF convict
labor. Legislation by the several states
on this subject having proved ineffec-
tiye-as it has been held that a state
canLot prohibit the importation within
its borders of the product of any other
state-Mr. Gompers suggests that the
power of congress be invoked 10 regu-
late such commerce between the states.
