( that in point of production there is
an increase by the substitution of
eight hours for longer period Even
if this We're not true as to one day,
the accumulated fatigue of working
more than eight hours for a series of
days reduces the production below the
quantity produced by strict adherence
to that limit.
Especially is this so as to the mol
der's occupation, the life of whom,
working nine or 10 hours a day, sub
ject to the heat and noxious fumes, is
said to average not more than IA
years. In work of this kind there can
be no doubt that greater production
will be had by the working of an eight
hour day than by working nine or
10 hours.
1T is not conclusive, though a sub
ject for consideration, that the ma
jority Of the other shops in Wheeling
and vicinity are working on a nine
hour basis All betterment has come
by improving conditions, and not con
tinuing them when bad Improving
conditions is the object of this pro-
ceeding
"The employers have, as a rule, pa
triotically given full aid to the prose
cution of the war by placing their
splendid plants and their highly skill
ed chiefs at the service of the gov
ernment The employees, as a rule,
have also, with the same patriotism,
| yielded the eight-hour limitation for
the government. The former have re-
ceived great increase in profit The
latter has contributed an increase in
the hours of labor, and vast numbers
of men to fill our armies. The for
mer have received from the govern
ment; the latter have given to it.
They should not be asked to do so be-
yond the necessity of the occasion"
Umpire Clark continues to smash
! idols in his treatment of the cues
tion what constitutes an emergency.
By demanding that workers be given
voice in this matter, he extends in
dustrial democracy and establishes a
precedent by ordering that both par
ties set up standing committee of
two from each side, majority of
which shall decide when it is neces-
sary to work more than eight hours
in any one day.
ut is better that the machinery
should be worn out than the bodies
of the employees" says Umpire Clark.

guage of the Great Declaration, to
some enjoyment of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness
1T has been suggested as some pro-
lection against the abuse of constantly
exceeding the limitation of hours by
the employer declaring in his judg-
ment an emergency to exist, that such
extra days should be limited to three
days in the week This would only
be very partial remedy; for if the
employe is oyerworked three days in
the week his product will not only
fall off during those days, but also
during the remaining days of the week.
A better plan would seem to be a pro
vision that the employer shall appoint
a standing committee of two, and the
employees a similar committee of two,
and as the burden of establishing an
emergency is upon those who assert
it, the eight-hour limitation should
not be exceeded unless at least three
members of the joint committee of
four agree that there is an emergency
justifying working overtime. This
would avoid also the objection that if
there was only one member of the
committee on each side, factious oppo-
sition by the representative of labor
might prevent operation even when
there was an emergency requiring it,"

Declares That A lO-fiour Day IN
jures Their Health And Shor-
tens The Lives.Of Employees.

Acting as national war labor board
umpire, Justice Walter Clark of the
North Carolina state supreme court
has awarded Wheeling iron molders
an eight-hour day in decision that
will be far-reaching in effect. A few
features of this decision are:
The basic eight-hour day is not an
eight-hour day, but merely a wage
agreement which permits of extra
hours at increased rates.
Eight hours should be the work day
except in cases Of emergency.
The question of what constitutes an
emergency shall not be left to the en-
ployer, but shall be decided by joint
standing committee of two employees
and two representatives of the en-
ployer The assent of at least three
members of this committee shall be
necessary for permission to work more
than eight hours in any day Of "a
hours.
Justice Clark is one of the 10 UNI
pires appointed by the president to
act where the national war labor
board fails to reach a decision. A
controversy arose between Iron Mol
ders' union No 364 and the Wheeling
Mold and Foundry company of Wheel
ing, W. ", on the Interpretation of
the first section of an agreement be-
tween the two parties which provides
that eight hours constitute a days
work for all molders and core-mak-
ers. The next section of the agree
ment provides that 'the wage rate
shall be $3.50 for the basic eight-hour
working day" Both parties agreed to
refer the matter to the national war
labor board and that body referred it
to an umpire.
The iron molders contended that the
agreement was an eight-hour one
This contention was upheld by Umpire
Clark, who said:
1T is not reasonable to suppose that
the employees, having agreed upon an
, eight-hour day, should by the next
rule, repeal it by substituting 10 OF
12-hour day for extra compensation
There is a vast body of expert
ence," continued Umpire Clark, that

the employees, Injuries their health and

LABOR ORGANIZING IN MEXICO.
Half Million Workers Connected
With Mines, Textile Industries
and Railroads are Interested.

The strength of the organized labor
movement in Mexico is now estimated
at about a million workers The only
industries nationally organized are the
mining and textile industries and the
railroads. The miners in particular
are strongly organized in three states.
Mexican Labor can now be brought
into the United States for work on
mines and railroads, as a result of the
action taken by the Department of
Labor in removing certain restrictions
on labor movements from the republic
to the south
An event of international import
ance, it is expected, will be the inter
national labor congress at Laredo, Tex
as, November 13, when American and
Mexican labor will confer on matters
