VIOLATED EIGHT HOUR LAW
Deputy Labor Comm ssiOner Scott
Adiusts Matters at Winfield.

B. P. Scott, deputy state labor commits
sioner, arrived in the city last night from
Winfield, where he was called to stop an
alleged violation Of the eight-hour law
on the asylum addition which is now be-
ing erected. Mr.. Scott found that the
contractor was compelling his laborers
to work ten hours per day. which was in
violation Of the eight-hour law. The
rate of wages was also lower than was
being paid for similar work. Mr.. Scott
says the work was being performed by
pretended evasion of the law. However,
after a conference with the contractor
having the work in charge a satisfactory
settlement was reached and the number
of hours per day reduced to eight, and
the paying of $50 per day. The rate pre-
viously paid was 81 to $15O.

We landed in Manila May %, 1889. We
were all anxious to get into active serv-

the morning of the 10th at 9 o'clock we
engaged the enemy at Telegraph Hill.
Any person who has never been in q bat
tie will never know how it seems. My
feelings that day | could never describe.
II was so hot we were unable to march
fast, and thousands of soldiers fell out
from heat and sunstroke. We drove the
enemy for miles into the interior. We
marched all day with nothing to eat, and
it was almost impossible to get a drink
of water. When we went into camp that
night we had only % men left ont of my
company, and other companies had still
less, but in the course of the night they
all caught up. We lay in the rice field
all that night through the drenching rain,
but we were all happy, for we had a good
cup of hot coffee.
On the morning of June II we started
for Manila. We reached there at )
o'clock that night, having marched all the
way in rain. One of our men was killed
by lightning. We went into camp, glad
to get back to good bunk. When we
counted noses there were missing four
men.
We next moved to Paranque, where we
held part Of the south line. We stayed
there until July II, then moved to San
Pedro, where we held that line up till Oct.
6, on which day we started with Gen.

south of the city of Manila. The 18th

On the morning of Nov. ; we were
