But the eight-hour day was only for cold weather. During the six warmer months of the year these ex- pert sail-makers, riggers, shipwrights “|and other navy yard workers had to work 10 hours a day, but were to receive extra pay for overtime. | Raise Never Came. | The extra pay never came. Congress discovered that only enough had been { appropriated to pay for the regular | |wages and the navy yard workers! . were told to wait until the next con-| gress when they would surely be paid | all that was due them. These promises continued for six years and for six years congress continued to fool the workers until the matter was dropped entirely. The graft and corruption that filled the last quarter of the 19th century, the period of the rise to world-power | of American capitalism, at time: reached such a point that even capi. talist politicians were compelled to} | hold their noses and appeal with | righteous indignation to | “publi opinion.” But there was not a cen for the workers in the government | navy yards, wages mounted in the course of year: to millions of dollars.

For almost half a century they have lived in poverty and want while millions in graft, both “legitimate” and! “‘illegiti- mate,” have been squandered by their capitalist creditor.
