EIGHT Hour paY By Law.

The Star. Baltimore.-Labor leaders
themselves may not grasp the radical
reach of a law which an American
federation committee last week, pro-
posed to President Taft. On the
other hand, they may be fully aware
of the final, sweeping effect of such a
statute. 1t is not apparent in the brief
narration from Washington whether
the committee members, Gompers,
Morrison, Duncan, Mitchell and few
others, were innocent or subtle.
They seek law requiring contract
ors and sub-contractors supplying ma
terials for government work to adopt
the eight-hour day. Suppose congress
should enact lie law. Every business
man Or employer selling goods to the
government would be limited to the
eight-hcur day in his shops. A man
ufacturer on tradesman would have
the alternatives of working only
eight hours a day or losing the gov
eminent for ali time as customer.
The man running mis- establishment
nine hours could not sell to the ma
tional, and eventually as the law
spread, the state and city govern
ments. The consequence would be
a government-run union of merean-
tile and manufacturing business. Since
no business man would wish to place
himself outside the pale of public or
ders. the federal congress, in actual
effect, would be saying to the whole
business world: You shall work your
employees eight hours a day and no
longer

AN AERIAL RAILROAD.


German engineers are not content
to leave aeronautics up in the air. =
They propose now to harness it to
prosy railroad construction. One OF
the first and most successful schemes
of this sort has been worked out by
an engineer of Marburg Who has de-
vised a combination of dirigible bal
loon and electric railroad for over
coming steep mountain grades.
The supporting balloon is cylindri-
cal in shape, of semirigid construc-
ton, zee feet long and SO feet in di.
ame,er. Il rests lightly against ca
bles on either side, "channeled wheels
attached to the framework of the bal
loon forming the contact" These ca
bles are suspended from towers. Pow
er is applied to the wheels by an
electric cable. Attached below is me
swinging passenger car. lifted well
off the ground. Friction is reduced
to minimum and speed of rs
miles an hour is possible.
A company has now been incorpor-
ated to construct line from the
railway sta ion in Marburg to FRAU
enberg. a point five miles away ana
1900 feet above the town. The inl-
tial cost of construction is put al
$4,000 per mile for double cable
line. Says an account: THE cost
of maintenance and of transportation
on such line viii be less than 3
per cent of the corresponding ex-
pense on railroad through the
avoidance of weight, friction and Sc
rious wear and tear The signin-
canoe of the scheme lies in the fact
that the steepest mountain grades
may be overcome as easily as slight
grades. Railway promoters long ago
hit ON the term "air line" as a fas.
cinating appellation for their net pro-
iect, but Marburg is evidently 10 have
the first bona fide example.
