Hypocrisy Of Republican Spell Binders

The Republican machine of Mime

Jacobson is attempting to make much
political use of the tonnage tax plank
In the Democratic platform, and has
pushed 1t as a consuming bugaboo be-

Of such a dangerous measure threat
ening this section of the state.
Mr.. Johnson declares that he will
veto every measure of such a charac-
ter that may be passed by the state
legislature, and MIR. Johnson's record
as chief executive of the state is ample
proof that the statement is not a.
political play to gain votes, but Is a
promise to the people of the state that
will be fulfilled If the occasion arises.
But, if the Republicans are as honest
In the matter as they profess to be,
why should there be any need Of ex-
ercising the veto power at all with a

EIGHT HOUR Law Is.
UPHELD BY THE COURT
New York. Court Of Appeals Decision
1. Of Interest to Workers
-" Evoryvvllero. @s

Albany, Oct. 2o.-The validity Of
that section Of the labor law provii-
ing that no workmen upon public
work shall be permitted or required
to, work more than eight hours In one
calendar day" is upheld by the court
Of appeals in a = decision recently
handed down. The court in substance
holds that violation OF this law is
justifia BILE for the withholding Of pay
ments for such work from contractors.
The question came up in an action
begun by the Williams Engineering
and Contracting Company Of New
York to compel Comptroller Metz, Of
New York, to pay two installments
aggregating about $4,000 on con-
tract for the completion of sewers.
Nearly 100000 is involved in this
contract. The Comptroller, contend
ing that the contractor had violated
the eight-hour law and did not pay the
prevailing, rate Of wages refused pay
mept. ~r.-
In an opinion, Judge vann says in
part:
%"The legislature now has the power
and had when the present labor law
was enacted to fix and regulate the
hours +of labor on public work by lin
iting them to eight hours in one cal
endar day, and: to provide that when
that limit is exceeded no officer of
state or municipal government shall
be permitted to pay: therefor from
funds under his official control

UNION LABOD WINS
IN c. P. R. STRIKE
Machinists, Blacksmiths, Boiler
makers and Carmen Victor
ious in the Struggle.

WINNIPEG, Oct. 21.-Organized Ia
Dor once more chalks up a notable
victory. This time it a is against a.
railroad supposed to be invincible. All
the tactics known to the heads of the
railroad nlagnates and their attor-
neys were adopted, but the solid wall
of 5000 men out on strike remained
steadfast to their principle. The La
m1eux act was invoked to split their
ranks, coercion was tried, starvation.
vttuperation and villification, but. like
Blanca, who stood upon the burning
deck the wall was still there No
nobler body of men stood before the
guns of the enemy than did these
brothers across the line. 1t was a.
question Of principle as great as any
for which the blood Of nations has
been spilled, an dthey stand out as
heroes / nthe great cause for which
trades unions staud-the right to la
Dor and enjoy the fruits thereof.
Eight thousand men were affected
by the strike, and but 1,400 drew
benefits, $500 men going through the
struggle. The 1,400 men had but
$4,000 to receive in the way Of bene-
hts-but $6.15 per member for the en-
tire period. OF the $4,000 the Broth
erhood Of Locomotive F1remen and
Enginemen and the district lodge of
machinists on the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific gave $1,000.
In the Lamieux act there are some
peculiar features. The government
attempted to show there were two di-
visions Of the road, one east and one
west but the men claimed it was one
corporation and refused to have the
matter considered in any other way,
Had they not SO insisted they would
be divided, the one end played against
the other, and thus weakened The
men stood solid. The committee re-
fused to consider the question but as
one road and victory was the reward
for their wisdom. -,
