Hughes has thrown down the gauntlet
Of the eight-hour day legislation and Will
son has picked 1t up; from now on the
issue In this campaign Is the eight-hour
law" said c. w. Darr. the principal
speaker at the meeting Of the Wilson
Eight-hour League organizers. at Build
ing and Trades Hall, Sixth and G streets
northwest, last night
The meeting was composed fer the most
part OF delegates from the labor unions
OF Washington and Maryland. Walter
Costello, the instigator of the Eight-hour
League movement, as chairmsn, stated
the purpose OF the organization to be the
banding together OF all sympa athizers of
labor in the fight for short hours and to
secure the reelection OF the President.
Mr.. Darr dwelt much on the boon to the
country Of the regional banuking act and
the currency bill.
In answer to the charge that the
eight-hour legislation was forced, he
stated that labor has always been obliged
to force concessions and that otherwise
national calamity would have occurred.
Samuel De Nedry. for thirty-three years
prominent In labor organization follow
ed Mr.. Darr. His main argument was
that the Wilson administration stood for
labor's rights against the capitalist and
that It was a question OF masses against
classes. He spoke Of the eight-hour law
as a safety-hrst measure.
An effort Is being made to enroll the
laboring men OF nearby States in the
Eight-hour League, John r. Riggles, OF
Seabrook. Nd, will be the organizer IN
his locality. and Newton James, Of
Hyattsvtlle, VIII bring together the men
