Eight Hour Question. Editor’ star:—“ Equity” might have put the e eight hour law a great deal stronger those mechanics and labor ers employed under the War and Navy deP artments who are required to work ten hears. They had to work ten hours all last *,ammer, and have commenced itagain fonay while all mechanics and laborers employed in other branches of the government—Capitol, poe, Interior, Post Office, Printing Of fice, and so on—work but eight hours and re- ceive from ten to twenty per cent. more wages than those who work ten hours, for when the hours went up wages went down. Now, sir, L hardly think it just that one-half of the me- chanies and laborers employed by the govern- ment in this city should work more hours for less money than the other half. As they are all in the employ of the same firm, they should all be treated alike. Justice to all and parti- ality to none, which means in this ease eight hours per day ata fair rate of compensation.
