ANOTHER SHIP FIRM
GOES TO 8-H0UR DAY
New Federal Law Showers Bless
ing On Employees Of New
England Inrustry.

GROTON, Conn.,, May 29.-The
New London Ship & Engine company
is the latest concern having contracts
with the United States to go to the
eight-hour day.
In it's announcement to its en-
ployes the concern states that the
employees of the company are to here
after enjoy the eight-hour day, and
that the pay will remain the same
for eight hours as formerly received
for a nine-hour day.
This decision is the direct result
Of the effects of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor in securing the pass
age of the eight hour law in the Six
ty-second congress, which materially
strengthened the old law.
Further than that. eight-hour pro-
visions were inserted in naval and
other appropriation bills, so that as
a general proposition the eight-hour
law is being enforced to a greater ex-
tent than ever before, and numerous
companies now discharging contracts
on work for the United States are
bringing their plants to an e1ght-hour
basis

SKATERS HOPES OF
WISCONSIN WOMEN
Gov. McGovern Prevents Woman
Suffrage Bill From Again
Going to People.

Governor McGovern of Wisconsin
Is in bad not only with the women Of
Wisconsin, but with a large number
of people who think that the gov
ernor has no right to veto a propo-
sion to be submitted to the people.
They hold that the referendum on
such question, as woman suffrage
is one for the people to either ap-
prove of veto. If the governor can
stand between the legislature and the
people on matters that the legisla-
ture refers to the people, then he is
greater than the people.
It seems that the governor objects
to the bill on the ground that, suf-
frage having been defeated by a ma
jority Of $4,000 in Wisconsin last Mo-
vember, another referendum on the
subject SO soon would be unwise and
would result only in a more emphatic
rejection. He also argued that at
firmative action on suffrage, if a
mistake, can never be corrected,
while unfavorable action may be corr
rected at any time.
wisconsin stands for popular
rule declared the governor in his
message vetoing the bill. But if the
referendum is good thing, manifest
ing the results of popular vote
should be properly respected. Such
respect will not be shown if, almost
as soon as the outcome of last years
vote upon this subject has been an
nounced, exactly the same proposal
be Immediately resubnitted without q
single new fact or argument to sup
port 1t.
Such action by the legislature can
have but one tendency-that OF
speedy bringing the principle Of the
referendum into disrepute. I do not
consider that enactment Of this bill
providing as it does for a vote next
year, is consistent with the deliber.
ate judgment Of the people of this
state SO recently and SO fully regis.
tered
The veto Of Governor McGoverr
was a surprise and an attempt will
be made, it is said, to put the bill
through in spite of the governor.
