EIGHT HOUR LAW
CENTRAL LABOR UNION AT ISSUE
WITH DISTRICT.

There is a question at issue between the
Central Labor Union and the District Con-
missioners involving the application of the
eight-hour law In the employment of sew
eral bookbinders at the public library. The
matter, as reported to the central body
by the delegates of Bookbinders' Union
No. 4. is the alleged violation of law by
which work Is done, it is stated, in the
library building, the men being required to
work nine hours a day
The matter, which was reported to
the Central Labor Union several weeks
ago, was brought to the attention of the
Commissioners through communication
from Secretary Winslow, who in behalf Of
the union protested against the alleged
violation of the eight-hour law. The Com
missioners in reply stated that the work Is
being done under contract. and is there
fore not under their control.
1t Is said that the reply of the Commits
sioners is not satisfactory to the central
body nor to the bookbinders it being the
general impression that as the work is being
done in public building the law should
apply In this as we'll as in other in
stances, where under contract, workmen.
are employed at public work in a NUM-
cipal institution, under the conditions OF
the eight-hour law.
Is stated that the matter has been re-
ferred to the legislative committee of the
Central Labor Union for investigation and,
it is said, that should it be ascertained
that the law is being violated those re-
sponsible may be prosecuted.
