PLEA FOR PASSAGE
OF 8 HOUR BILL
Machinists Urge That Contract,
Ors Should Be Governed
by Federal Statute

Editor Calm connection with the
gress we desire to make the following
statement:
The establishment of universal
eight hour workday has long been the
aim and desire of the working people
generally, and it is conceded by all
fair, broad minded employers to be just
in principle, and, everything consid-
cred. economical in practice; the gov
ernment has recognized that fact by
granting the eight hour day to those
directly employed in the various de-
partments, with the very best results
to both the government and the en-
ployes.
This great country of ours is one OF
the largest employers of labor in the
world. 1t gives employment to thou
sands of men and women in the differ
ent departments of the government
and in building the Panama canal,
practically all of whom are working
eight hours per day in accordance with
the eight hour law passed in 1892.
CONTRACTORS ARE INVOLVED
While these men and women directly

enjoying the advantages of the eight
hour workday there is a far greater
number employed by the government
through contractors or subcontractors
who are permitted to satisfy their
greed for profits by compelling their
workers to labor 10 and in many cases
II hours per day.
Now, our government, in the last
analysis, is the people of whom you

government should be a fair employer.
whether it employs its workers di-
rectly or through a contractor, and
that the eight hour workday should
be established on all government work
without the use of strikes or lockouts,
with the suffering and loss that always
go with them.
Our government should insist upon
fair treatment of all employees, espe-
cially those employed through con-
tractors, otherwise the unfair con-
tractors are given a license to inflict
Gas they are now doing) a 10 and in
many cases II hour workday upon
men and women doing government
work, regardless of the results.
The national platform of the repub-
lican party contains a plank favoring
the eight hour day on government
work and hearings have been had on
the bill ands are now in print in a
volume containing 1000 pages entitled
Hearings Before the Committee on
Labor for February and March, 1908,
n. r. 1851
PLEA FOR LEGISLATION
For these reasons we ask support
for a bill. II. f. 15441, which was in
troduced in the house of representa-
! tives by Hon. John J. Gardner and
which provides for an eight hour
workday on all work done for the
government, and ask all persons inter
ested in securing an eight hour day on
government work to correspond with
their congressman and the senators
! from this state urging them to not
only vote for this bill at the present
session of congress, but to interest
themselves in having it reported
favorably from the committee in whose
hands it now is; also, that they will
assist in having an eight hour clause
inserted in each of the appropriation

Barn And Stable Burned.

The barn and stable on the farm of
Hollis Matthews, on Bush River Neck,
Hartford county, were burned to the
ground Friday afternoon. Men, on the
farm. together with employees of several
canneries near by, saved several other
outbuildings and the dwelling, which
were only short distance away.
The fire broke out in the top of straw
rick while the threshing of crop of
wheat was in progress and is thought to
have been caused by spark from the
thresher, when only about half an hours
work yet remained. Some 40 bushels Of
wheat and rs tons of hay, together with
all the straw, were destroyed, but the
greater part of the wheat had been loaded
on vessel for shipment and was safe.
Monday AFTERNOON the barn on the farm
operated by John Reath, White Rock,
Lancaster county, was destroyed by fire.
Over 900 bushels of oats and 400 bushels
of wheat were consumed, together with
harness, farm machinery, etc. The or
igin of the FIRE is not known. About rs
years ago barn on the same site was
struck by lightning and destroyed. Mr..
Reath's home was burned about or g
years ago.

Shot At Intruder.

James M. Tosh. of near town, recently
missed bag Of wheat from his barn and
determined to institute watch. A few
nights ago he was warned by the barking
of dog that some one was prowling
about the premises. Procuring his gun
he slipped out of the house and made his
way quietly toward the barn. When still
some distance from it he heard retreating

direction. The intruder made good his
escape but Mr.. Tosh the next morning
found small purse containing one

fence that the intruder scaled in his
fight, and nearby on the side of the barn
were marks of numerous grains of shot
from the charge that had been sent as a

In making his fifth trip to the porch roof
at the home of Alfred Cannan, of Cecil
ton. Saturday night, James Price, colored,
aged 40 years, was. shot and killed by
Cannan. Price recently was released from
the penitentiary after serving sentence for
an attempt to assault Mrs. Sarah Simon, a
her home in Elkton, and returned to his
home in .Cecilton. He is said to have
made four different attempts to gain an
entrance to the room of Miss Martha

popular school teachers. Two weeks ago
he was seen on the porch roof and warned
to keep away from the premises and
Cannan went to Elkton and asked States

what could be done with the negro
Shortly after 10 o'clock the family re-
tired for the night, and a half hour later
Miss Cannan discovered the negro crawl
ing on the porch roof toward her window
She quickly ran to her fathers room,
called him, and Cannan picked up his
revolver and went to his daughters room.
The negro heard him coming and began
to descend, but Cannan fred and the
bullet struck him below the heart. Fall

main street of the town. Cannan then
telephoned to Sheriff McAllister and
States Attorney Constable and surrender
ed to the Sheriff. but was released on his

Cannan and commended in the strongest
terms his courage in ridding the commu-
nifty Of an undesirable and dangerous
character.

THE PRIMARIES.
fractional Strife Bitterly Waged II
Some Districts.
THE REPUBLICAN VOTE LIGnT.

Maryland's first Statewide primary. at
which Congressional candidates were
nominated by all parties by direct vote.
Tuesday was held and was marked by
bitter factional fighting in practically every
district except the First and Second.
The candidates nominated are: First
Dist, j. Harry covington. dem. A. Lin
coin Dryden, rep. Second, ]. F. c. Tai
bott, dem; w. B. Baker. rep. Third.
George Konig, dem.; Charles w. Main.
rep. Fourth. ]. Charles Linthicum, dem.
Addison E. Mulliken. rep. Fifth, ]. Enos
Ray. DEM; Thomas Parran. rep. Sixth.
David ]. Lewis, dem.; B. H. Warner. Jr..s
rep. The surprise Of the day was the
attack made in Baltimore by the Demo
cratic organization forces upon Governor
Crothers' candidate for the Fifth district
seat, Charles H. Stanley, who was showed
under by J. Enos Ray, of Prince George
county. Ray had the solid support Of
State Senator Arthur p German and his
lieutenants and carried the city wards by
1900, also carrying Calvert, St. Marys
and Howard counties, and possibly
Charles county as well. Thomas Parran
was the Republicans choice in the Fifth
district without opposition. IS
In the third district Councilman Geerge
Konig won the Democratic nomination..
having a plurality over three opponents Of
about 900, and Charles w. Main, the Re
publican. Main had only one opponent,
whom he defeated handily bytI63s votes.
In the other city district, the Fourth. Sena-
tor ]. Charles Linthicum led the. Demo-
cratic candidates, with I7I6 votes mote
than the nearest of his three opponer $.
while Councilman Addison E. Musliien
defeated two Republican foes by safe
plurality of 22I4. Both the successful
Republican candidates had organization
support.
In the Firs. and Second districts there
were no primaries held, both the old
parties having united on their respective
candidates. Congressmen Covington and
Talbot are the Democratic nominees.
while the Republicans are A. Lincoln
Dryden, of Somerset county in the First.
and William B. Baker. of Hartford county.
in the Second.
In the Sixth district B. H. Warner. Jr.,
was nominated by the Republicans. de-
feating Gist Blair by small majority.
Blair looked to Allegany and Garrett
counties to pull him through, and had the
support of Congressman Pearre and
former Senator Wellington, but the
pluralities were too small for the sweep
ing vote of 100 for Warner in Frederick
county. Former Senator David E. Lewis.
of Allegany, and H. Dorsey Etchison, Of
Frederick, were opposing candidates IN
this district for the Democratic nomina-
ton, which Lewis captured rather easily.
1t was hoped that the direct vote would
bring out many more to the polls. hnt
only $4,000 Democrats and $500 Republi-
cans exercised the right of franchise.
