LAB0RBRS 70 WORK
ONLY EIGHT HOURS
House Committee 10 Report
Bill on Monday.

Chairman Gardner of the House Com
mittee on Labor, VIII on Monday make a
report to the House recommending for
passage the bill providing an eight-hour
system for Iaborers and mechanics en-
pIoyed upon work done for the United
States or any Territory. or the District
Of Columbia The report made on the
same bill in the Fifty-sixth Congress is
in the main repeated. N the new portion
OF his report Chairman Gardner says:
The single new contention made bv
the opponents Of this bnI and not urged
against previous bills OF like purpose.
was that the completion of some work.
like large casting, particularly. by differ
eni Workmen, under an -Sight-hOur plan
would fail TO produce the best results
The correctness Of Ibis contention was
stoutly denied by practical workers. It
is believed by your committee that any
real difficulty IN this particular is met BY
the amendment proposed in this report
This bill is IL conformity with the
settled policy Of Congress, as indicated
by legislation covering 2 period OF thirty
four years"
On the subject Of labor saving MACH IL
cry the report says; This effect Of
AiCI-AA li4aIAlAEA1 UA AHE AgVREFS OF the
worker has been a question more imme-
diateiy affecting the American workman
than those Of other nations The foreign
workman had very generally held to the
surface theory OF some older writer's that
machinery is a competitor of labor, and
the one most threatening to his employ
ment- Hence, labor has strenuouSly, and
TO a considerable extent. successfully re-
sisted the introduction of modern machin-
cry.
The foreign laborer has sought to
maintain the demand for his services by
thus limiting production
The United States has now entered the
foreign market with the products of more
modern and rapid-wOrking machinery. It
would seem that an early effect of this
viii be forced yielding to the adoption
OF like machinery abroad. If the longer
day adds to the advantage of the competi-
tor, as commended by the opponents of the
eight-hoUr day. it would seem that the
more rigidly ahered to the long day, the
sooner foreign hostile legislation against
American products will be invoked. Such
legislation is much more likely TO be ef-
fectively inspired by industrial necessity
than by theory. alliance, or general mer-
camille demands"

In all parts O. the country men and wo-
men, doctors and surgeons, clergymen
and educators are wondering at the re-
markable cures made by Prof Thomas A
Adkin, tiscoyerer of the Adkin yitaopathic
tTeatme Mt
Prof. Adkin heals not by drugs, nor by
Christian Science, nor by Osteopathy, nor
by hypnotism, nor by divine healing. but
by a subtle psychic force CT nature in
combination with certain vital magnetic
remedies which contain the very elements
of life and health
A reporter recently talked with Prof.
Adkin and was asked to invite all readers
of this paper who are sick or who are
worried by he ills of those dear to them
to write te him for assistance Some
people have declared said Prof. Adkin,
that nv powers are of God: they call ne
q divine healer-a man of mysterious pow
ers. This is not so. 1 cure because I'M
derstand nature-becaase l use q subtle

So great Is the sensation wrought in
the medical world by the wonderful cures
performed by Prof. Adkin that several
professional gentlemen were asked to in
yestigate the cures Among the gentle
men were Dr. L B. HawIey and Dr. l. G.
Doane both famous physicians and sur

investigation these eminent physicians

LICENSES FOR BARRIERS
APPROVED BY MANY
Leading T0nsorial Artists Fav-
or Jenkins Bill.

Proprietors Of the better class of bar
Der shops in Washington seem we'll
pleased today. The cheaper shops. par
ticuIarly the "fve-cent shave" variety
are somewhat on the anxious bench. The
bill introduced in the House yesterday
by Representative jenkins, to require bar
bers practiclng their vocation in the Bis
trict to procure licenses is the cause of
this diversity of feeling.
The measure makes it unlawful to work
at the trade as barber without first OBJ
tanning license, and proposes that shops
shall be required TO conform to certain
sanitary regulations.
First-CIass tonsOTiaI artists in this city
feel that this is a step in the right direc
ton Also, 1t is a step which would
prove of great value to them, they be-
lieve. 1t is thought that, should the
measure become a law, the inferior and
unclsanly shops will have to discontinue
business in 8 great many cases, thus
raising the standards Of the profession
and turning the trade into the hands of
the fiTst-class BARRIERS.
The proprietor Of a tonsorial parlor in
a leading Pennsylvania Avenue hotel, in
speaking OF the Jenkins bill to a repre-
sentative OF The Times this morning said.
This measure. il it becomes a law,
will undoubtedly prove q benefit to the
people of Washington The first-cIass
shops viii not be affected in the least,
unless 10 benefit by the abolition of the
cheaper places. The closing of many of
the smaller shops. which would undoubt-
eddy be jneeessitated, would probably in
crease the trade Of the first-Class estab-
IishmenIs."

have little TO say regarding the matter.
