An Eight Hour
Day for Labor
ADVOCATED BY THE SECRETARY
OF COMMERCE
BENEFIT TO EMPLOYER
Cannot Afford to Employ Men Pois-
oned by Fatisue-Long Hours of
Railroad Employees Also Discussed.

Washington. Dee. 81. - Secretary
Redheld of the department of COM
meree today expressed the belief that
it would be far better for the pockets
as well as the peace of mind Of en-
ployers' if they would work their men
only eight hours a day. He was speak
ing before the American Association
for Labor Legislation, which is meet
ing here with the American Political
Science association.
Il believe" said the secretary, that
when our factories are run so that the
werkmen go home without being fa-
tigued from overiong hours, and not
till then, will we be able to compete
successfully against all corners in the
markets of the world ! could not af
ford to employ in a factory men who
are half sick, who come to work after
having had bad breakfasts. who are
partly poisoned; they would be eco
nomicaIly Improbable. And yet ia
tigue is part poison"
Not Mathematical Question.
Secretary Redield said a thorough
study should be made of the condi-
tions under which men work best. This
subject of the human element in man
ufacturing, he added, could not be
treated from the mathematical stand
point.
Austin 8. Garretson, president Of the
Order of Railway Conductors, told the
ASSOCIATION LnaI IN 1915 CDSre n2O DeGu
261,0o0 violations of the law prohibit
ing the working Of a trainman more
than 16 hours in one day. The law of
averages, he said, would show that this
was but q small proportion of the
number of men employed And yet
the law of averages" he declared,
docs not give any rest TO these men,
nor can it restore the lives lost
through accidents due to fatigue. Dur
ing the past year an army of men
running into the millions have worked
in excess of 10 hours on a. stretch.
Death Rate Among Trainnnen.
while I have been standing here
talking to you,' said MT Garretson,
four railway trainmen have been
carried away on stretchers, killed or
injured; and during the two days we
have been in session here 200 of them
have been carried off. We are killing
and injuring them at the rate of 126 a
day. How much of this Is due to long
hours?"
That the popularity Of compulsory
insurance against accidents has in
creased rapidly during the pasr three
years, and is bound to be followed
quickly by other forms of social in
surance, was the declaration Of Joseph
P Chamberlain of New York. The
present insurance of the poor, he said,
is hopelessly expensive

She allowed suspicion to rankie in her

One thing precipitated another.
Evelyn now logged her husbands
footsteps day and night. She haunt
ed cafes where he frequented, always
expecting to find him in the company
of the golden haired girl who had is
sued so mysteriously from his Office
that afternoon.
But in vain. Arnold was usually
alone. He was attending to busi-
ness.
Then, one day, as Evelyn entered
the huge outer offices leading to the
general headquarters of her hus-
bands firm. she espied the beauti-
full blond girl whom she suspected,
sitting at a switchboard, busiIy plug
ging "caIIs."
More than ever convinced that
such a beautiful creature must GER
tainly attract her husband, Evelyn
studied her carefully for moment
and then passed in.
That night Arnold came home to
dinner in troubled state of mind
Evelyn knew he had something to say
to her
What is it, dear?" she asked, her
voice unsteady with fear.

Cummins expected opposition. His
