Eacts About the Working Day.

We are far better off than We were
fifty or seventy years ago. At the De-
ginning of the century, the wage
Garner labored from sun TO sun, and
later, when expensive machinery and
artificial light we're introduced into the
factories. the working day was ex-
tended far into the night. In lS40
American cotton operatives worked
fourteen hours per day, and as late
as 1852 thirteen hours. while today THE
average working day in the mills is
under ten hours. The hours of labor
of farm, laborers, except in harvest
times seem to have diminished, and
in a considerable number of occupa-
tons, notably III the building trades,
an eight,aour day has been introduced.
In other occupations. affecting the
health of the workers, or in which wo-
men and children are largely em-
ployed, shorter working day has
been secured by legislation. But this
progress. though considera bic. is not
nearly so great as is generally sup
posed. The ten-hour day still pre-
walls in most industries, while the
eleven or twelve hour day is far from
being extinct. During the ten years
from 1891 to 1901 the average work
ing day fell only quarter of an hour
In the latest twenty-five years, less
than one hour has been taken from
The hours OF daily labor.--The New
Republic.
