EIGHT HOUR Law.
KenOsha Manufacturers Express views on
Legislation Now Before Congress

views
Legislation Now Before Congress.
Kenosha manufacturers and labor.
ing men are watching with great
deal ofinterest the action of the Senate
on the bill now before it which will
provide that in the future all manu-
featuring concerns, making goods for
the Government employ the men for
only eight hours during the day.
In many places the law is finding
support, but 1t is being bitterly fought
by manufacturers in all parts of the
country, and many of them have an
nounced that they will be forced to
give up all Government contracts If
the bill is passed IN its present form.
Kenosha manufacturers as a rule hold
that the United States Government is
interfering with their rights when
they limit the time a man is to be
employed in their factory. Many of
the Kenosha factory men have re-
fused to make any statement in regard
to the law, and others are luke warm
in their statements in regard 10 the
result of the passage.
The largest factories in the city are
engaged in the manufacture of goods
for the Government. The Simmons
manufacturing company is turning
out thousands of beds annually for the
use of the soldiers in the United States
army, and the Hosiery Company is be-
coming one of the leading firms en-
ployed by the Government. The small
factories are annually accepting small
contracts from the Government and
nearly every factory in the city will be
affected.
The National Manufacturers Asso~
citation has compiled report of the
manufacturers of the different States
on the law and in this report the Ke-
nosna factory managers give the fol-
lowing opinions:
: The Kenosha Crib Company: We
find here that where a factory from
force of short orders finds it necessary
to reduce to or 9 hours, that their
help are out looking for work in shops
run full 10 hours) time. If this bill
becomes law, it certainly will pro-
woke State legislation along the same
lines, and we believe would be equally
detrimental to the workman as to the
manufacturer. The manufacturers
would necessarily have to raise his
price, whether the full 1O-hour time
was paid for hours work or not, as
his plant is idle just that much longer
in the "a hours, speaking sof concerns
similar to our own, who work one shift
10 hours.
Thomas B. Jeffrey & Company: I
think that it will be in a few years the
prevailing rule, and think that the ar
rangement would be wise one, but do
not approve of any law which inter
feres with free and independent con-
tracing for service.
Chicago Brass Company: We be-
lieve that the times are tending to-
ward an 8-hour day, and undoubtedly
it will come, and we would prefer it to
come in a manner which makes it un-
iversal rather than haphazard. At
this particular time, however, we
would be sorry to see any change, as
we have all we can do in 10 hours, and
yet not sufficient to warrant putting
on double shift.
The Balm Wagon Company: It
would not affect us, as we do not sell
to the Government
