The Rock Eight Hour bill, which the Central
Federated Union is supporting. has attracted the
attention OF J. g. Phelps Stokes who sent TO the
Central Federated Union yesterday copies OF let
ters which passed between him and Labor Commls-
sioner Sherman on the subject. In a letter to the
union explaining his action, Mr. Stokes said he
was surprised to learn that Commissioner Sherman
was opposed 10 the bill.
One letter which read was from Comrnls-
sioner Sherman Mr.. Stokes, stating that, IN the
writer's belief the bill absolutely impractical

workday was through before he finished his tr1p

iected 10 the placing of the enforcement OF the
