EIGHT HOUR LAW
 KICKS BACKWARD
WAS MOST SERIOUS sIuNDER OF THE PRESENT ADMINS
 TRATlON.

X writer in the last issue Of the Railway and Marine News. takes a different view that most of us in Al
 aska have taken of the action of Pres.
 saenJ Wilson in forcing the eight-howr 1aw en congress. Instead of having been a wise move to get votes to re
 lurn the administration to power at yhe next election. the writer says il p-as the mos, serious blunder that can
 be attached to the present administra- ton. The article follows:
 In place of being a success as a pc Httcal ruse the eight-hour law is kick ing backward and many of the older and more sensible members of the 6rotherhoods sought to be aided. are not in sympathy with the movement. The agitation was started by the younger element and while it was stated that 4aa,ooo men were to be af- tectsd, practically 6o per cent of that number were old time employees. in many eases having from 20 Jo S0 years of accrued service record be alnd upon which their future pension would be based. In the case of a strike and these men leaving the ser ice. all pension accruals and rights are naturally abrogared by the men breaking their contract and these men with so much 10 gain by remaining with the company. which had for years been paying them a highly satisfac- gory wage aarly refused to take any Harr in the threatened strike.
 Frankly. some very distinguished lallroad officials are extremely sorry that the bun of the strike was not al lowed to go through simply because
 u their opinion the railroads would never have been tied ID and the en- .husiasyic youngsters among the 6rotherhoods who had backed the de nand. would most likely have receiy- d the most severe drubbing of their lives.
 On the other hand. the men who work in the shops. the men who inhab t the interior ot the boilers. the men aao tramp the ties in the boiling sun and. in faet. an army Of employees sew e-aI times greater than the total of those in the brotherhoods. feel that taey have been snubbed by MT Will son and his Congress and in place Of helping the working man. he has, with 2 grandstand play. catered 10 the silk stocking crowd, the men who. in zaeir opinion wear handsome uniforms and 3 benign smile as they pass thru tae Pullman cars.
 h other words, the general opinion q the working men is 10 the effect tEar a limited and superior class Of railroad workers has put one over on the great majority and incidently upon the administration
 The bluff Of a strike is not ended by any means T. has got to come and -he railroa Is are prepared to meet ir. The sooner iJ comes just so quickly

It is to be hoped that the issued Will come to head It has got to be made and the sooner the better for all con ceTned
