The unity of spirit and purpose they

feelings In relation to each other and

THE LAW AND HOURS of LABOR

The right Of each State IN the Union
10 pass laws regulating the hours Of
labor for state employees cannot be
, subverted, and We do not think It Is
now seriously questioned. But THAI
does not extend to limiting the hours
which are TO constitute a days labor on
private contracts or general individual
employment.
That eight hours time IS usually
enough for a full days work Is conced-
ei. and even less Is plenty IA some eX-
cepuonal occupations. But the liberty
Of labor ought not to be interfered with
opprcsslvely, and every man ought 10
be permitted ordinarily to make such
contracts for his work as are open and
agreeable to him. Laws may be- en-.
acted for the preservation OF lie and
the protection OF persons, and there
fore IN some dangerous occupations
legislation may be necessary and would
be sustainedtby the courts But when
