THE RECORD TALKS.
The Vote of III. c. Schaffer on the S-hour
Day for Municipal Labor.

The exposure of the record of II. G.
Schaffer while in the council, on the
resolution making eight hours a days
work for city employees, has led the
morning paper into the notion that it
can bolster the candidate thus affected
with the representation that he voted
against the short day that labor the
world over has always sought to have
universally adopted, at the solicita-
ton of 1.-The united teamslers, 9"
and it proceeds To carry out
the idea that Mr.. Schaffer acted
as he did in the hope that a
10-hour dav might be maintained at
$3.50 per day for teamsters and S1.75
for laborers. Since it is the principle
that is contended for, the position of
organized labor as a whole can not be
misinterpreted on this particular point,
and the record must stand for what it
is and for what its effect was intended
to be- Here it is as it applies to the
council meeting of May 3, 1896:
Aid. Larkin offered the following:
.Resolved That the eight hour sys-
tenn he adopted by the city council.
and the pay of laborers be $50 per
day and teams IS per day for the same
time This was adopted as follows:
Yeas Howard. Hampton, Ohlweil-
er. Corken. Winter. Lundy, Fergu-
son. Larkin. Atkinson. Edwards and
Schroeder-11.
-SchafTer, Sinnett-2.
Absent-Collins.
The resolution was agitated by the
Knights of Labor in furtherance of
the humanitarian principle of legaliz-
ing the S-hour day. There was no
teamsters' organization in Rock Isl
and at that time.

At the conference of the postmas-
ters of the three cities at the Rock
Island postOtfice yesterday afternoon
a plan of camPaign to secure for this
locality system of street railway
mail service was mapped out, and it
is believed such pressure will be
brought to bear upon those in author
ity at Washington that they will read
lily see the necessity for such an inno-
walton here, and will grant the re-
quest of the postmasters and their
constituencies
As heretofore described in TIE AR
GUS, the plan is to have two mail ears
in service between the three cities Il
hours per day, making six deliveries,
each car to have two postal clerks.
The proposed service would be of great
benefit generally, and especially TO the
business houses.
The pOstmasters are to have a
meeting with j. +. Lardner, general
manager of the Tri-City Railway COM
pany, to ascertain the cost of equip
ping two cars for the service and
transporting them. Postmaster Thorn
as will ask the cooperation of the
Rock Island Club in the movement,
and similar support will be invited
from the business mems associations
