THE SHORTER WORKDAY.
Employer and Worker Benefit by Re-
duced Hours of Toll.

duced Hours of Toll.
Congressman Redheld of Brooklyn
n a speech in the house on the tariff
made many Illuminating references to
matters in which organized labor has
been and is intensely interested. EN-
ployers of labor have been slow to ac-
knowledge that short hours and high
wages work not only to the advan-
tage of the wage Garner, but equally
to the employer. In Mr.. Redield's
speech he brings out very clearly some
of the questions that have been con
sidered as differences not to be recon
ciled He said in part:
About twelve years ago the head
Of a concern in Brooklyn decided that
he would put his factory on nine
hour day basis He became salts
fed that there was an element in the
ten hour day that was real, but diff
cult to see-namely, the tired hour
He became satisfied that the tenth
hour was the tired hour-that at that
time the point was reached under
which a man could not work to the
UlSueSJ duN uuluSe. liz put his AoN
tory on a nine hour a day basis and
kept a very careful record of his cost.
At the end of the year it was per
cent to the good. He made an abso-
lutely larger product The wages re-
NAMED the same. presume you gen
tlemen are all aware of the expert
ment that took place in the great ship
building yards Of William Denny "
Sons. who as a result of conferences
between them and their workmen
agreed that they would try the eight
hour day for year, at the end of
which time if the result showed no
disadvantage to earnings in the eight
hour day it would be retained; other
wise the men agreed to go back to the
nine hour day. AS a result at the end
Of the year they retained the eight
hour day because it paid. l do not
mean to argue from this that you
could 90 with an ak and cut every
thing arbitrarily to eight hours, but
that the proper and reasonable adjust
ment of things to that will some day
obtain is unquestioned."

A "RabIit" Union.

While the labor unions in this coun-
try are largely confined to trades and
special callings, those of Australia
cover nearly every imaginable charac-
ter Of work. There is now being or
gained a "rabbiters'" union. This or
gaulzation is being formed under the
auspices of what is known as the
"Trappers' league" The men eligible
to the "rabbiters' union, as the name
signifies, are those engaged in the
hunting Of rabbits for the market. AL
ready through the efforts of the young
organization the minister of agricul-
ture has made arrangements for the
freezing and packing of rabbits to meet
the requirements of the rabbit hunt
ers for the coming season. This ac-
ton on the part of the minister Is to
guard against the rabbit combine"

Trade unionists do not need to 60
very far back over local events to find
a striking example of what a cumber-
some old machine our present plan of
city government is and how easy it is
to shift responsibility. The wholesale
granting of special police stars to strike
breakers employed at Summers Iron
works met with severe criticism and GER
tainlv could not be defended on the
ground of public policy. Yet it was done
and so secretly that it was discovered
entirely by accident. An attempt was
made to have this granting of police
power matter of public record by the
passing of an ordinance providing that
special appointments should be ratified
by the city council in open session.
Then began the merry chase after the
councimen, seven of them. Then the
chase led to the fire and police commits
sion and before they got done the boys
were in Il state of mental bewilderment
as to who on earth was fixing pub
lie policy in this city and whether any.
body was responsible for anything.
Under the commission form the trail
would have led straight to one man, the
commissioner in whose department rested
the policing of the city. Under that plan
each commissioner must stand public
scrutiny and if he doesn't walk straight
the power of the recall is in the hands
of the people. There is no shifting OF
responsibility. He is responsible for his
own acts and for the actions of every
subordinate in his department. Isn't
that infinitely better than our present
system of doing business?
