EVENING STAR. Commission on the Hours of Labor.: ‘The Commission on the Hours of Labor, ap- pointed under Legislative direction, held ases- sion at the State House at 9 o'clock yesterday forenoon, Messrs. Tilden, Sanborn, Snelling, Wright, and Drs. Bowditch and Wellington being Mr. Atkinson, treasurer of the In- Milis, id, testified at considerable length. The eleven hour system re im that ree ng hae about persons were employed, the whol a- lation of the village of Indian Orehard about 1,200, there was not business enough to support a doctor. He had made inquiries ¥ had led him to believe in the ful- ness of cotton manufacturing; there was a machinery tend the op- eratives. He thought the laws of self-inter- st and morality would always go together, and that what was for the interest of the capitalist must be for the benefit of the workman. From his experience be thought this was a most unfortunate time to agi- tate a reduction in the hours of labor, as wi bad never been so high, and the pros- a of emigration never solarge. He expressed opinion that a good mill operative could save more now than in 1860, and that if the hours of labor were reduced it would prevent the laborer from selling his labor to the best advantage. He proceeded to give the advyan- tages of the corporation system to laborers as compared with that of individual owners; the failures were fewer, the losses of wages less, if not absent entirely; he did not think eleven hours a day in a mill injured the health of adults, and he believed full occupation rather than in short time, thongh the weavers im our mills, piece workers, would labor till eight or nine every eyening, if we would ron our mills; our profits on cottonare higher when wages are bighest, because the laboring classes bave more to spend; an eight hour law would either be a dead letter or it would drive capital out of Massachusetts to other States, and our factories would be superseded by others else- where, where they were too shrewd to pass such a law, the ten hour Izw in Maine in the mills is pugatory and negatived both by laborer and employer. Our factory townsare filling up with families, rather than with the temporary board- ing population of former days; a inw was needed to prevent the children being over- worked, by our present law they were com- pelled to go to school three months and might be worked all the rest of the time; he was in fa- vor of ahalf time law, let the children work half a day, if needed, and go to school the other half, it was found that,children learned as Imueh as those who went to school all day; at Indian Orchard they proposed to insist that children should not work over eight hours a day, Good weavers make $4 or $5 a week over their board; this summer they had advertised for women whom they offered to learn free to be weavers; they had supposed from the talk of sewing women in the cities bemg in such distress they would get many; forty applied, and but one would go; there was one case in Boston of a woman and two daughters, work- ing hard, more than ten hours, to get fifty cents a day, and they would not leave city attrac- tions. in answer to a question as to what time the Tatives had to attend to their own offairs, Mr. Atkinson said that.each had a let of land given bim by the company at Indian Orchard to cultivate, and their crops the present season were enormous. Mr. E. B. Bigelow, of Boston, next addressed the Commission. Jn Clinton, where he was interested in business, the hours of labor in the mills are eleven; while in machine shops and other mechanical business they are ten, and this difference he attributed to the Jatter being more laborious, while mill work was compara- tively light. The average wages of female weavers of ts are 97 cents per day, but some of them earn #1.50 per day. The opera- tives have raised $600 for a course of lectures this seasen; there is a circulating library of over 4,000 volumes belonging to a’ library associa- tion, composed — of operatives; there are singing schools, dancing schools, occa- sional traveling shows, and matters of that na- ture: In answer to an ingniry by Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Bigelow expressed opinion that he would not advise an operative to invest in manufacturing stocks, as the property was too risky. Mr. Bigelow then gave his views in relation to the effect a reduction of the hours of labor would have on the national pros ity of the laboring classes, contending that this reduction must of necessity reduce the productive indus- try of the country, and that the rise which would naturally take place in the price of articles of necessity would come largely out of the pockets of the laboring classes. Where twenty per cent. was taken the hours of labor the reduction of the ome of articles made by machinery would have to be made up tor im same way. He then gave the Commission the hours.of labor as worked in England, and returned to Parliament by different classes of operatives, and also the cost of living there and bere, arguing that it would be impossible for us (o compete with the older countries where they work sixty hours, while, if the eight hour law was passed, we should only work forty- eight per week, Dr. Waldoch, of Roxbury, desired to know if successful competition with other countries was the highest good t be obtained. Mr. Bigelow said that national pr Tity ‘was most assuredly the basis of the welfare of the whole people. Dr. Waidoch asked Mr. Bigelow's opinion in regard to many articles of praduction which were bo benefit to any class. Mr. Bigelow reiterated his belief in the great advantages of large production in all branches, certainly not, howe er, in those absolutejy use- Jess or hurtful. ( — Mr. Wm. Knollin desired to know if the gen- Somes thought that the profits were fairly dis- ributed. Mr. Bigelow eaid that he knew of no way in which the distribution of the profits coi be regulated except by thelaw of interest. There were VATious risks incurred in the inyestment of capital, Mr. Knollin thought that the capRalists were unwilling to lift up the laborer and equalize the distribution of the Profits of the produc. tion, and spoke at length and somewhat at ran- t. dom on the s: Mr. George nelling, one of the Commis- sioners, read a porto” of @ letter from Dr. Jar- vis, showing that the latter found that the em- ployment of his clerks over seven hours a day was injurious, and detrac' from their use- fulness, he did not belieye in co gersers rule or law on the time of labor, as strain and wear and tear of different occapations was so great. A discussion here arose among the Commis- sioners as to whether the testimony of the par- ties from Fall River should be heard, since they had desired that their names should not a: It was finally decided that they should be heard. The witnesses were two men from Fall Riy- er, operatives in a factory. Before giving their testimony they asked the reporters to suppress ther pames, as their employers would ow them out of tag sm if they knew they had been before the commission. One of them said:—“ We work eleven hours a day; have worked twenty years in the old coun’ and eight years here; had worked harder in the last eight years than in the other Miedaee £ be has to walk from 20 to 27 milesadsy attending the spinning jack. Till within ree months he had to work all the noon hard, cleaning up, and had to get bites at intervals from his din- ner kettle: now, this cleaning was only done on Saturday. The operatives have to work harder here than in England. If reduction of the hours of labor implied a reduction of w: he would still go forit heart and soul. The machinery had to be oiled before starting up, in addition to the eleven hours. In some of the mills in Fall River, little children were worked eleven hours a day, and the law ante prohibits it was not enforced; persons ve gone to parents to get children from the sehools to work in the mill; old Mr. Robeson, now dead, would not allow such a thing in his mill. The other gentleman then said, “I am a spin- ner, and have no education, and am sorry for it.” He had two little boys, one of seven years and one nine, who work in the mill, getting $2.0 a week, working 70 hours; wanted the hours of labo¥ shortened, so that he could send bis beys to school; his condition as a factory operator was harder here than in England. ‘The two last witnesses stated that men who had been prominent in movements for fair wages, had been discharged when the other operatives had been re-employed, and trayel- ing from place to place could get no work; when they did get it, it was only for afew days, when they were discharged, without any apparent cause, unless from some secret un- derstanding among the owners of the mills. The Commission then adjourned the bearing to Wednesday next, 20d instant, in the same place, at7 o'clock p. m—Bosion Pos. S7- Miss Balfe, the English vocalist, whose divorce trom Sir John Crampton, late English ambassador at Washington, and the present Britich envoy at Madrid, created so much sen- sation some time ago, has been lately at Biar- rite with her second husband, the Spanish gtandee and Duke of Frias. @7 Genera! Grant has been made 4 lifemem- ber of the Methodist Missionary Society—the ladies of Bedford street Church, in New York, having subscribed one hundred and fifty dol- lars for that purpose. 7 Some of the principal New York hotels talk of raising the price of board to $6 per day. There are families at the Fifth Avenue, who cive £500 or $600 a week for their mere and boarding privitege, while their will reach $300 or $400 more. AUCTION SALES. B* J.C.
