The following is the complete list of petit EIGHT HOURS A Day. ‘The Congress of Labor Debate this Im- Portant Question—Some of the Dele- Gates Opposed to Such a Resolution. ‘The Federation of Labor Unions of the United States and Canada resumed its session thie morning at Grand Army hall, and the res- olution offered yesterday was taken up, which Provides that the eight-hour rule should go Into eftect on January 1 next, as provided In a reso- lution of the last congress, and that the legis- lative committee call upon the organizations throughout the country and inquire if they have resolved to Inaugurate the eight-hour day and toassist in its organization in every way. THE FIRST SPEAKER, Mr. Kirchner, dwelt upon the advantages to the laboring classes of an elght-hour day for labor. The increase in machinery and in pop- Ulation had caused a large number of worki men to remain idle for some months in eaci Fear, By reducing the time of lsbor,the demand laborers would increase and’ at the same time superior skill and intelligence on the part ofthe workmen would be developed. As the of labor are decreased in any branch of labor the efficacy ofthe workmen is increased, as is declared by Mr. Brussey, the English writer on economic subjecta. The speaker be- Meved that if the manufacturers and other em- vers were consulted. that they would accede the eight-hour rule. In Philedelphia, Mr. Geo. W. Childs, the editor of the Ledger, fo- Yored this movement, and he thought that as far asthe cigarmakers were concerned, whom he represented, that they would be able to carry the resolution into effect, IN FAVOR OF A GRADUAL CHANGE. Mr. McAuliffe, representing the granite cut- ters, said that the members of his organization were in favor of the eight-hour day, but they Were not in favor of so early a date as May 1st. ‘They were in favor of waiting and making the change more gradually. They did not believe that the resolut be enforced generally at present. ir. Foster, ating the labor unions of Philadeldh.a, sald the organizations were not iu favor of trying to inaugurate the eight-hour day May 1st, as they did not believe that they could make’ it apply to ell branches of work, therefore he would be obliged to oppose the resolution. A PROPOSED FINE FOR WORKING OVER HOURS, ‘Mr. Gompers, representing the International Makers’ union of New Yorkcity, said that hié trade suffered from the difficulties arising from the women and children employed in this industry, the convict labor system and the ten- ement house labor. They had also to contend with the objections of the “piece. men,” who thought that such a regulation was contrary to their interests. But the principle of the elght- hour day needed no argument in its behalf, Its importance was ized by the best writers on labor questions throughout the world. In order to put this prinelple into active operation ‘and overcome the opposition of those laboring men who were not alive to their true interests, @ fine of fifty cents for each hour worked over eight hours would make it more expensive to violate this regulation than to adhere toit. He thought that an active propaganda shouid be made, and he belleved that by an intelligent Bresentation of the matter the point could be WOULD REDUCE THE WAGES ALSO. J. 8. Rye, representing the Carpenters’ union of Baltimore, said that there were over 6,000 houses built in that clty last year. There are about 2,000 carpenters, and these houses were built in eight months; but if the eight-hour law was In force at least two thonsand houses less would have been erected. The shorter hours | would make more work, and instead of having idle days, there would be work days for t! tire year. He believed in reducing the with the hou ind instead of receiving $2.50 per day of teh honrs, they would get $2 for eight hours, But he believed that in leas than a year the wages would go back to the old figures. MR. OYSTER’S IDEAS. Mr. E. W. Oyster, of the Federation of Labor of this city, said that the Typographical union had secured the eight-hour day in the govern- mentand private printing offices of this city in i and their idea was thatif the government get the example that private establishments seen a But aes bad hla Sie) Attempt on the part of the government o Ww evade this law,and he Sted the case of the w Pension mga which was con- a ampie e ai ‘out the work uy contract. ‘Phe Federation ao in ‘matter, Skanes tances res take action when they thought themselves Strong enough. For instance, the Plasterers’ union of this ity hud of thelr own accord in- Sugurated the, elght-hout day, making a reduo- ton in their wages from $3.50 to Ubeir idea being that the wages would go to the old. figures.as soon as ull the idle workmen were einployed, In the opinion of the speuker this was the important point to be gained, the em- ployment of the idle workmen. When there was plenty of lnbor the employer evuld hold the whip over the employed. But giving em- pene to the percentage that always: isted in every trade of men out of work ould strengthen the workingmen in all the branches, and this, in his opinion, was the beneticial re- sult to be gained by the eight-hourday, He then said that even in the government printing ottice there were men who worked twelve and fourteen and sixteen hours a day, and he thought that the only way to prevent men from working this extra time wus to charge a Price-and-a-half tor all time over eight hours. OPPOSED TO THE RESOLUTION. Mr. Sharpe, fram the taflors’ union, said that he was opposed to ‘this resolution, and his reasons were thut in his trade a targe pro- tion of the men worked at their own jomes, and were unwilling to be restricted in their time for completing their work, and then again, their trade was one of seasons. People bought clothes but twice a year, and that brought all the work into two portions of the rear. For these reasons theeizht-hour day was impracticable for their trade, and he was op- posed to the resolution while being in entire pet with its spirit,and be ho that the time will come when the conditions of the tailors’ trade would be more favorable to the eight-hour day. ME, GABRIEL EDMONDstoN, ot the carpenters’ and joluers’ union, said that this was not a legislative function, and he de- nied the right of any legislative body, not com- posed entirely of wage-workers, to dictate how Thuch time he must expend lu surrounding his home with all the comforts of life, The founda Yon of government rests in the consent of the governed, and if a majority of men to be affee- ted by a law iol ie wil become by usa custom without surrendering any natural right. He had been instructed to vote for the elght-hour day, and he hoped that the resolu- tion would.be adopted. ADVANTAGES OF THE EIGHT-HOUR DAY. ‘Mr. Tomson, representing the trages assem- bly of Chicago, sald that he had received no specific instractions, but nearly all the organi- zations connected with the assembly had voted in favor of the eight-hour day, and therefore he pi to vote for the resolutions, He then wenton tospeak of the beneficial resulta to workingmen of the extra hours which would be gained to them for rest and thought and study. He maintained that the history of pro- duetion showed that the shortening hours 0f Inbora increased the productiveness of yht ocear at any time, and asa rule amount to much, and resulted in favor of those who ask tace.

Mr. Oyster said that the federation was not to make this demand in all the trades, as only some of the del tes had been in- structed, but he believed which were prepared to enforce the eight-hour day, should do so.and the others would come ‘As far as the typographical unions were concerned, he thought that they could carry out this resolution. favor of a general strike, and thought the fed- eration had no author!
