Therefore to do justice to those men
who have occupied the Offices of this
county for the past six years we have
not disregarded the above fac's. Nor
have We ceased to diligently guard the
interest of the county. The volume Of
business done, moneys collected and
dispersed is quite large, and though
leakage be small at first, it would natur.
ally increase with time, until eventually
it would result in great calamity.
Our labor would be shorn of its frui :.
fulness had we taken either extreme
course, being too exacting with officers
on the one hand, or too loose with the
county's interest on the other.
We have aimed to give each officer a
square deal in every particular without
fear or favor, remembering at all times
that they we're the paid servants

One further and strong reason against

be called upon to enforce condition
with which ii was not al that time in

Barre, for the time being strongly 10
favor Of licensing the sale Of liquor,
would be asked TO abide by the deei.

can easily be imagined the people here
would be asked to abide BY the will
Of those who have no voice in the ad.

police department should act as watch
men Of all the granite plants Of the
city, scattered as they are. The sug
gestion has been made that one step
toward preventing the vandalism would
be the employment Of special watch
mon in certain localities. In case this
should be found advisable, the watch
men might also guard the property from
fire Where the granite plants are

VICTORY FOR LABOR
GOVERNMENT 10 ENFORCE The
EIGHT HOUR LAW.

President Roosevelt stirred to Ac-
tion ~ Organized Lnbor's Bali of
Grievances shorter Day Assured
For Thousands Of Toiiers.
President Roosevelt, at the instance
OF Secretary Taft, has directed federal
officers IN charge OF public works to
detect and punish violations Of the law
Of 1892 providing that except in case
Of an emergency work upon govern
ment buildings. ships and other prop
critics shall be limited to eight hours
each day for each workman.
An effort was made by the forces of
organized labor during the last session
Of congress to procure legislation to this
end, but so effective was the opposition
Of the great contracting firms that adj.
journment was had without any action
upon the pending bill, though the house
committee on labor consumed many
hours in listening to arguments on both
sides Of the question
Heretofore il has been the practice Of
executive officers when complaint was
made BY labor unions that the eight
hour law was being violated by con-
tractors building ships, constructing
public buildings, engaged In river and
harbor work and other public enter
prises TO reply that Ii was not their
business, that the law was binding up
on the contractors and that IL the labor
unions felt aggrieved and knew OF VIC
lations of the law they should proceed
themselves legally against the offend
ers.
The labor unions asserted that II was
almost impossible for them to obtain
the necessary evidence and that they
had not the money to engage In legal
struggle with powerful moneyed inter.
ests. Under the presidents direction
every government officer In charge Of
or inspecting public work In progress
IL to be directed to promptly report to
the department. Of justice any viola
tons by contractors Of the eight hour
law, and prosecution initiated by and
at the expense Of the government Is to
follow.
A long list Of such cases was sent to
him. The president referred the mat
ter to the commissioner Of labor,
Charles r. NELL, with instructions to
Investigate and report to the depart.
ment Of justice cases in which the law
had been violated Mr.. Neil found
that the law was being violated day
after day by some contractors on pub
lie works.
The reinforcement OF the eight
hour law Is one Of the articles Of the
bin Of grievances submitted to the
president and Speaker Cannon by the
labor leaders.
II has been found that quite d num-
Der of employees are not subject 10 the
operations Of the eight hour law, be-
ing neither Iaborers nor mechanics,
the classes referred TO in the act.
Such are lock tenders on the western
rivers. watchmen on river and harbor
works captains and crews Of the nu-
merous vessels of various kinds en-
ployed In these works, craftsmen,
clerks, inspectors, paymasters and the
like.
However. many thousand workmen
IN ali parts Of the country will be af-
fected by the new order Of things for
which the executive officers are now
