URGES ONE DAYS REST
John Mitchell Pleads for Enactment
of Needed I.cEfalntion.


Especial to The Times-D Dispatch.l
New York. February S.-John
Mitchell. vice president OF tho Amer
lean Federation of Labor. in an ad-
dress delivered before the Republican
Club to-day, made a strong plea for
tho passage OF a law compelling en-
ployora u recognize the right OF tho
worklnsman to one days rest out OF
every seven.
Ours Is tho most prosperous country
on earth. and we want our working
men to enjoy their full measure OF this
prosperity. | hold that those who
work seven days a week are not In
condition to appreciate the spirit of
liberty and justice on which this gov
ernment was founded.
Il hope that tho New York labor
law Will include all workingmcn In Its
provisions for ono day OF rest out of
seven. and that other States will enact
legislation providing that workingmen
shall have the opportunity to rest one
day Il week"
Mr.. Mitchell recommended the enact
ment of laws enforcing the eight hour
day. partly because there are too many
men now out of employment and part
ly because the shorter day of labor Is
more humane and economical I'm the
long run.
What actuated Henry Ford" he add
ed, was n desire to get away from tho
opposition that might come out of Il
twelve-hour work day"
