New Orleans, Nov. 10-In the spot
market oHerings were large.
In the future market prices opened
5Gf7 points lower than Saturdays clos
ing. This early slump in prices was
due in part, to the continued preva-
lcnce of cotton-making weather in the
belt and in part to the downward ten
dency at Liverpool The opening was
followed by further decline OF points,
and at that level there was a slight de-
velopment of reactionary sentiment and
a preponderance Of buying orders caused
prices to halt in their downward course.
During the remainder of the session
prices fiuctuated few points in either
direction. the board at the close, show
ing net losses Of 9D12 points.

is deemed sufficient for the welfare OF
the working classes by their represen-
tatives in the American Federation
of Labor convention now nearing its
closing sessions.
The movement to this effect is not
held in the light of dream by the
hard headed labor leaders, but rather
as a practical proposition soon to be
forced upon the employers of the couu-
try in no uncertain terms. Gradually,
but surely. tits expected to reach fru,
ition and with it bring about q. golden
era in the labor world
Eight hours work, eight hours play
and eight hours rest is TO be the slo
gan for organized labor in the years
to come. The movement is deemed sc
important that President Gompers has
appointed committee of eleven of the
most prominent leaders here to see

in motion the full power OF the feder.
alton that failure may be impossible
This committee is to be a permanent
one and it will plan the campaign that
is to reach all parts of the country.
Will Push Law Before Congress.
Congress is to be the first important
body approached. 1t has now before
it an eight hour law which would force
every contractor and subcontractoI
on government work to limit the days
labor of all his men to eight hours
under a penalty of a fine for every
individual Infringement Should this
bill be passed the movement will re.
ceive its first great impetus, for then
it will have back of it the approval
of the government That it will be
passed is seriously expected, although
the National Manufacturers associa
ton, the strongest organization of en-
ployers in the country, is fighting it by
pamphlet and private letters.
Once this is accomplished the un,
ions that have contracts nearing ex-
piration will be asked to demand a
reduction of the working schedule as
near to the eight hour limit as posi-
Bile. By this method the elimination
of the movement will be reached in
the course of time, and with it will
come no reduction in wages.
