serious consideration, and few of the toilers even dreamed of it's realiza- ton. As a matter of fact, it was not until 1S47 that a 10-hour work day was secured by any large body of toil- CTS.
 It was a woman, Sarah Bagley, a Lowell cotton mill girl, who was largely responsible for this victory. Sung by the indifference of the as semblymen of Lowell to the 10-hour bill, Sarah Bagley and her fair lieu tenants entered the political arena and by their campaigning methods brought about the defeat of the in- different legislators and the election of others who passed the measure. The unions of the cotton mill women were powerful for a time, but a great influx of Irish immigrants, willing. to work for any wage offered, ruined the movement.
 In a considerable number of trades notably those connected with the building industry, the eight-hour day is now an accomplished fact, and sev- eral great industrial concerns have, voluntarily or by coercion, reduced the work day to eight hours. In spite of the fact that experience shows that satisfied workers accomplish as much or more in eight hours than dissatis- fled ones in ten, the great majority of the employers of labor have stead fastly and bitterly resisted the eight hour day movement.
 Sober statistics show that the pro- gress toward a shorter working day is not as great as most people suppose. It is declared that in the last quarter of a century the average reduction in all industries is less than one hour. The 10-hour day is still the rule rather than the exception, and in many industries and sections 12 and even IA hours day is exacted by employers.
 Strangely enough. the eight-hour day idea originated in the mind of an employer of labor, Robert Owen, the free-thinking Scotch manufacturer and social reformer, who instituted the eight-hour day at the celebrated New Lanark cotton mills. Owen held that a shorter work day operated for the good of the employer as well as the toiler. because it is to the real interest of every human being that every other human. being should be intelligent, healthy, contented and wealthy"
 The labor unions have not only achieved great material benefits, but they have added vastly to the dignity and honor of the toiler. In 1867 the labor legislation of England was call ed a "master and servant act. Within a decade this form was silently dropped, and employers and work men'' substituted. The same attitude toward labor, as a condition of servi- tude, existed in America half a cen tury ago, although not officially ex- pressed.

MAISEL'S

Fritz Maisel begins his fourth year ;Sr1 fast company. on Sunday. The fam lSnr little Mary1andera has become one ;0f the stars of the American league Sfsice lie joined the New Yorks back 1n August, 1918. A fractured collar bone, sustained in a game played on
 Hay 18th, deprived the Yankees of his oervices fof long period this season. Frederick c. Maisel, to give him his sure enough monaker, halls from Cafonsville, Md. few miles from Baltimore, and he still makes that town his home. The Maisel clan is very prevalent in Catonsville, and Fritz has five brothers. His kid brother, George, is a professional ball player and promises to develop into " mighty good man.
 Fritz first attracted baseball atten- ton while playing with the Maryland IA. C., Of Baltimore in 1909. Jack Dunn saw him and decided to give him an opportunity to show what he Fritz lasted only a few weeks, and vas then turned over to the .Elgin, 1lI-, club, where he played until the league hit the rocks along in July. He { finished the season with Wheeling. and played so good game at third for the Stogies that Jack Dunn re- called him to Baltimore in 1911. Fritz was used principally at short by Dunn, although on occasion he coy- cred the third sack, and did 1t we'll
 By 1918 Maisel was one of the stars M Of the International league He field a almost perfectly, batted pretty close to the 300 mark, and was a streak on the bases. Several of the major league clubs began to long for Fritz, but the New York Americans got the prize. It Is said that the Yankee management parted with twelve thousand iron men to get the little speed marvel
 Tn 1914, his first full season in fast company, Maisel was given the regu- lar third bag job. He batted .239, fielded exceliently, and was the sem eation of the league in base running. ; He swfped more bases than any other player in either big league, having a total of seventy-four pilfered bags to his credit. Last year Fritz had to take second place when the base steal < lng honors were passed around, hav- < 4mg fifty-one as compared with Ty Cobb'g ninety-eight.
 Maisel was sent to the outfield at Inc beginning of the present season. owing to the fact that another dis 1lneufshed Marylander. MT. ]. Frank ln Baker, had consented to occupy &he third corner for Messrs. Rupert md Huston. Fritz was just getting { <ocquafnted with his new position when nc acquired q broken collar bone and ma to take | long rest.
