DEMOCRATS PLAYING
POLITICS SUCCESSFULLY
Congressman Berger Has His Fling
at Jeffersonian Colleagues.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE eight
hour day for laborera and mechanics
on government work would be extend
ed to contract work done by private
firms, by the terms OF a bill passed
by the house today. The measure was
introduced by Representative Hughes
of New Jersey.
Criticism of the measure on the
ground that IL would compel the eB-
tablishment of an eight-hour day Ia
all factories making goods used by
the government, resulted in minor
changes In the measure, to make il
more certain in it's applications. AS t.
passed the house IL would require the
eight-hour day in all contract labor
of the character performed BY the
government itself, such shipbuild-
ing, gun and ammunition making, river
and harbor work and building con-
strnction.
Representative Berger or Wiscon-
sin, the socialist member OF the house,
expressed the belief that the bill
would not hold water and advised
the house to "haVe a briclzmaxer write
an eight-hour law about ten lines IA
length"
For the first time In fifty years you
