BROTHERHOOD CHIEFS
T OADDRESS A. F. OF l..

BALTIMORE. Nov. is.--Leaders OF
the four railway brotherho oods will
address the American Federation OF
Labor convention here within a week.
probably Monday or Tuesday, on the
eight-hour-day principle. Their ap-
pearance is expected to inaugurate a
concerted night for the recognition of
eight hours as a working day for all
classes OF employees.
At the same time the appearance OF
the brotherhood leaders-Warren s.
stone. OF the engineers: A.. r. Garrett
son. OF the conductors: W. q. Lee, OF
firemen-is expected also to hasten
the coalition of the brotherhoods with
the federation.
Labor leaders hope to force an eight
hour day. not through legislation, but
through the power OF organized labor.
Afraid Of Legislation.
We are afraid OF legislation" the
high federation official who revealed
the above plan said. "What is done
by legislation can be undone. We
want to put through an eight -hou r
day principle by direct negotiation
with srivates employers, through the
force of organized labor.
We want. jf possible, to extend the

boilermakers. and other unions-has
no standard day. The Government
navy yards work men eight hours a
day. Private shipbuilders work their
| employee nine or ten or more hours
a day. We are going to try to obtain
recognition OF the eight hour day in
this trade, and also In the iron and
steel Industries"
Encouraged by President.
! Labor leaders, It was said have
been encouraged by recent state
ments OF President Wilson that the
eiEht-hour day was Inevitable.
They expect to stand behind the
Government in its fight to prove the
constitutionality Of the AdamsoT

leaders address the federation 1t II
