EIGHT HOUR DAY
BY THE GOVERNMENT
American Federation of Labor Does
Not Like the Ruling by
McReynoids.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.-Steps
were taken at today's session of the
American Federation of Labor to
make the eight hour work day opera
tive in government construction work.
An opinion handed down by former
Attorney General Jas. McReynolds
against union hours on work on gov
eminent construction was bitterly de-
nounced. Investigation was ordered
to substantiate assertions that the
eight hour day did not prevail in work
Of building the Lincoln memorial at
Washington.
Vice President Duncan Of the Amer.
lean Federation of Labor, declared
that McReynolds' opinion was re-
sponsible for this condition. The
former attorney general held that gov
eminent construction work from sup
plies purchased in open market, the
eight hour day need not apply. Dun.
can argued that since all supplies for
government buildings are purchased
in this manner, McReynolds' opin-
ion is stumbling block to union
hours. A motion presented by John
B. Lennon, urged that an attempt be
made to have favorable opinion on
the subject rendered by the present
attorney general. 1t was declared the
was entirely out of harmony with the
life Of the president in whose memory
It was being built. This motion
which also recited that II Gregory
was obdurate, means should be taken
to secure recognition, was adopted.
The resolution committee today re-
ported in favor of leaving the framing
Of an adequate employers liability
law to the executive council Of the
federation because Of differences exist
ing among various organizations. The
committee also reported favorably on
the resolution urging enactment of a
federal compensation act with pro-
visions that widows receive adequate
compensation during widowhood and
for children under eighteen. 1t urged
the law be administered by state com
missioners. Spirited discussion was
provoked by the proposed federal com
pensation act which recommends a
compulsory physical examination be
undergone by workers OF any indus.

were compelled to undergo examina.

the measure might be used to dis
terminate against workers active in
the labor movement. John Walker oil

Committee From the civic League
Which Endorses This Proposition
Visits Mayors Office This
Afternoon.
QUESTION AS TO KIND
Which Ever Variety Is Approved, the
League viii Put up and on
Corners Designated
by the City.

The Civic league of Keokuk, through
a committee which visited the city
hall this afternoon, offered to put up
signs marking certain streets OF the
city. The offer was made to Mayor
s. w. Moorhead, and the committee
from the league stated that the
streets to be marked and the kind OF
signs to be used we're to be optional
with the commissioners.
Mrs. w. J. Roberts was the chair
man of the committee and the mem
bers of the committee were Mrs. Har
ry ]. Reeves and Mrs. ]. F. Elder
This committee was appointed at the
last regular meeting of the league.
The Civic league wants to assist
the city in having all Of the streets
marked or placarded in a manner sc
that strangers in the city may BIZ
easily directed to any destination, and
also because markers are helpful tc
every one In knowing at glance
which streets are being traversed.
The league indorsed the idea o.
street markers and voted to assist 4
the commissioners will accept theil
aid The only problem before then
is knowing the right sort Of signs
to use. The iron signs with the letters
drilled in them and then painted, hayt
been advocated. And there are othel
numerous varieties which may bt
used. The question is which kline
shall be chosen.
In proffering the aid Of the league
to the commissioners, the committee
told the mayor that 1t would be willine
to place whichever kind of signslthe
city would designate. They have M
preference as to which streets t.
mark, all Of this being left to the dis
erection of the commissioners.
