lean Federation of Labor I'VE are
much gratified that the president has
issued the order, although we con-
ceive it to be little late.
THE original request for the en-
forcement of the eight-hour law on
government work was made by me
nearly three years ago. In the inter-
vening time l repeatedly have called
the presidents attention to the con-
tinued violation of the law, and have
cited specific instances, backed up by
affidavits
"On March 90, 1906, the president
requested Frank Morrison, of the
American Federation of Labor, ia
bring to his attention specific in.
stances of the violation of the law,
which he would refer to Mr.. Neill for
investigation. This was done on
April Il, with the result that the or
der requiring the enforcement of the
law was issued.
1T certainly will encourage labor
to pursue its work of organization in
the campaign which has been mapped
out in the hcpe that a larger degree
of justice may be attained,
When the president issued his or
ders some time ago regarding the OBJ
servation of the eight-heup law, the
orders came to the war and navy de-
partments, put We're not directed to
the other departments.
It is understood the order issued
last Wednesday is meant to meet con.
ditions which have arisen in other
departments, notably that of the in
terror, which has charge of reclama-
ton work in the arid land regions of
the west, Complaint was made that
the eisht.hour law was not being
observed there. The public buildings
erected under the treasury depart
ment also are public works to which
the new order applies.
