The effect of the eight hour move-.

what the local conditions which !.
brought it about, it has wonderful !.
effect on the movement for shorter !,
working day. The whole mining re-
gion OF the West is watching the re.
suit in Butte aud the time is not DIS
tant when eight hours for under
ground men will be the rule in all the
camps.
The eight-hour movement has this ;
advantages: that the more it is consid-
cred and discussed, the more people
will be convinced that tits an entirely
just demand and in every sense bene-
fetal.
With the productiveness OF modern
machinery no man should be required
to work more than eight hours day
at manual labor, and especially at
such unhealthy and dangerous occu-'
pations as mining and smelling. But
without specifying any particular oc-
cupation, the advocates of an eight
hour day have entirely the best of the
argument It's general adoption
would mean fewer unemployed and
INDECENT people and a much higher
standard of intelligence among work.

| Montana is indeed fortunate that
the movement received such an impe-
tus. As result our state is likely to
be the first in the union to have a
general eight-hour working day. The
sooner it comes the better for all the
people.
