THe Washington correspondent of the New York Times states that in the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday the eght-hour law was tully con- sidered, and it was finally deiermined that the Pre.ident should issue an executive order or Proclamation d :larrtory of the effect of the law upon w*zes, which is simply that the law makes eight bours & day’s werk irstead of ten, wi hout affecturg the rete of wrges. The cer- Tesnoncent says this declaration of the effec. of the law hrs ten rendered necessary im order to eecuxe @ harmonious constra..ion by the different departrents. Some were construing itim one way and some in anotfer, and even different bureaus in the same department con- strued itd‘fferently. The President and ama- jority of the cabinet were ctrongly of the opin- ion that the law, as passed by Congress, mernt simply to reduce the hours of a day's work without reducing the wages, or it reant noth- ing. Any other construction seemed absurd. The proclamation will be issued in a day or two.
