Would Abolish 7-Hour Day.

Washington, March 10 Con
gressman Borland has introduced
a ride" 10 the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill
which provides that government
employees in Washington shall work
mot .ess than eight hours per
day The amendment affects
about 30 600 clerks who are row
working seven hours a day. Mr..
Borlaud insists that men in the me-
chanical departments of the gov
ernment are working eight hours
and his purpose is TO equalize the
workday. The executive council
of the American Federation of La
Dor, in session last week, instructed
President Gompers to protest
against this legislation. Practically
every business organization has
also protested. as has every Wash
ipgton newspaper. These latter
Influences insist that an extra
hours labor for 10000 employees
would completely change business
and social life in this city. In one
of his letters to Congressmal Bor-
land President Gompers said
You say that your purpose in
proposing our amendment was to
equalize the hours of labor of all
government employees. Ii that is
your purpose it can be accomplish
ed equally we'll by reducing the
hours Of labor of all other EN-
ployes to the hours worked in
Washington thus equalizing can
be accomplished without any back
waid step and without acting in
violation of principles of human
welfare"
One local newspaper has acknow-
ledged that the most effective op-
position to the amendment is or
ganized labor.
