THE NEW NAVY. The Launching of the Newark and the Concord—New War Ships to be Built. Secretary Tracy has decided not to goto Chester, Pa., on Saturday next to witness the launch of the new gun boat Concord, and has so notified the contractors, The members of both congressional naval committees have been invited to be present at the ceremony, and invitations have also been sent to the mayor and other officials of the city of Concord, N.H. Miss Boutelle. daughter of the chairman of the Honse com- mittee, was selected to christen the ship, but will not be able to be present. ‘The launching of the new eruiser Newark, which was to have taken place at the Cramps’ a Philadelphia on Monday the 17th in- . Patrick's day, has been postponed to lay the 1911 reliminary trial trip of the new cruiser Philadelphia, bailt by the Cramps, will take place in a few TWO MORE BIG WAR SHIPS, She and the Newark are the only vessels built by this firm for the government remain- ing to be accepted, but it is probable that be- fore they are ont of the yard the Cramps will bave entered into the contest for at least one of the two large ships—8,100 and 5,300 tonners— for which the departinent is to advertise in a few days. The main competition for these contracts will be between the Cramps and the Scotts, thus forming a sirife for business be- the east and the west. President 3 cott of the Union iron works, co, has been at the depart- ment quite frequently of late on a double errand. Hie is principally after the retained perecntages that were withheid by the govern- ment froin the payments on the Charleston for four months after her first acceptance as a surety that her contractors woud keep her in repair. This period has now expired. The Seer hes signed the papers repaying this amount—230,000, A bill has been introduced in Congress remitting the 100 power penalties on the ship and is expected to pass, His second object is to induce Secretary ‘Tracy to have inserted in the contracts for the forthcoming ships a clause that will enable him (Seott) to bid on them with due regard to the increase in the cost of materials on the coast on account of the expenses of transportation, In other words, he wants the Secretary to in- troduce a new element into the competition that will put the west on an equal footing with the east, ut, Interior Department Changes.

Yesterday afternoon an interesting series of cases were heard before Justice Bundy, These were the cases of Burrill Johnson and wife, Abraham Blackman and wife, Thomas Murray and wife and York Browning and wife inst Judea lodge, No. 1, . of at Bons of Zion and Danghters of Salem, to recover $37 each, the amount which would be payable in the ense of the death of each, ‘The plaintiifs were represented by Gen, E. ©. Carrington, who claimed that they had been unjustly expelled from the lodge without any trial and they were entitled to the amounts claimed, and they asserted that the night they were exvelled the president was | dronk and disorderly. The defense was that they were expelled for using profane and indecent language in the jodge room, and the association being a voluntary one it was the duty of those joining it to submit to such discipline as tae majority might see fit to impose, and that they were properly expelled. Mr. F. 1. Browning appeared forthe defendant. The justice re- served his decision. —— Recent Kobberies.

Proposed Additional Legislation for its Enforcement. HEARING BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE oO” LABOR—AN AMENDATORY BILL PROPOSED BY MR. JOHN KENNEDI—REMARES OF MESSRS. KENNEDY AND OYSTER. ‘The committe¢on labor held a fall meeting this morning to continue the discussion on the eight-hour law. The gentlemen appearing be- fore the committee this morning proposed to discuss measures which would, in their opinion, tend to facilitate the entorcement of the law. MBE. KENNEDY'S REMARKS, The first speaker was Mr. John Kennedy, who has taken an active part in the agitation. Mr. Kennedy said: “I believe the committee will agree with me in the statement that it would be but a waste of valuable time to multiply words about specific cases of non-compliance with the letter and the spirit of the eight-hour law. Any one who wil! read the debates in Con- gress when that law was under discussion w arrive at the conclusion that its authors tended that eight hours should constitat day’s work and that no employe of the gover: mentshould work more than eight hours out of twenty-four. This was done for the urpose, as was clearly set forth in the bates, of gi:ing employment to greater numbers of men and thereby relieving distress. The necessity for such a law is just as apparent today as it was in 1868, and defects in that law, such as did not appear to its authors, are now employe of the government should work mor than eight hours a day, except in cases of ex. traordinary emergency. It was a misiake to omit a provision which should specify that all workmen employed on contract work af ¢! government must work not to exceed cight hours per day. And it was the crown- ing mistake of all not to prescribe enalties for violations of that — law, four committee very kindly invited us to re- turn here today to submit to you our views of a remedy for the trouble in regard to the eight- hour jw Accordingly I have drafted a bill designed to correct the mistakes of omission in the old law and to secure its rigid enforcement, It is but an amatenr’s effort in that direction, and I kuow fail well t should you introduce it into the House you can and will, before doing 80, make many improvementsin it, I will read the old law first and then my proposed bill THE EXISTING LAW. “The old law provides: ‘That eight hours shal constitute a day’s work for all laborers, workmen and mechanics now employed or who may be hereafter employed by or on behalf of the government of the United States and that all acts aud parts of acts inconsistent with this act be and the same are hereby repealed.’ TRE PROPOSED BILL. “My own bill would provide that eight hours shall constitute'a day’s work for ail laborers, workmen and mechanics now employed or who may be hereafter employed by the gorern- ment of the United States, except cases ot extraordinary emergency, which may arise in time of war or in cases where it may be necessary to work more than eight hours to prevent the destruction of life and property, and no such laborer, workman or mechanic shall work more than eight hours per day except in the cases above enumerated. “Section two provides all new contract work shall be performed in ac- cordance with the — foregoing. A penalty is put on the violation of the law of not more than $1,000 or less than $50 for the first offense and dismissai for the secqnd of- fense, ME, KENNEDY ADVOCATES THE PROPOSRD MEAS- ure. “Tam convinced that it is the sincere desire of the chairman and the other members of this committee to do anything which may be within their province to ameliorate the condition of all who toil, and Tam confdent you could do very few things which would more convinc- ingly illustrate your interest in the welfare of the people than to urge the passage of such a law as I have proposed to you. Its beneficence wonld not be contined to the navy yards and a few burenus in Washington, It would reach out to all the works of the government on rivers and harbors and on publie buidings, and the example of the government would be of inestimable vaiue to organized labor in tie movement for shorter hours, The passage of such a law as this would for a time embarrass the government in a few im- stances. Public officcrs would obey the law and perform their duties as best they might with such facilities as the government might farnish, and if they failed in any respect for lack of facilities the responsibility for snek failure would be easy to locate and would be rectified by Congress, But suc embarrass- ment would not bear comparison with the other and more singular one of having a 1: on the statute books which is tically dead letter, This committee has here an op- portunity to render a great service to the peo- pie and I hope you will not be slow to improve at” z CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION FOLLOWED as to whether it wonld not be a hardship to restrict the government printer, who worked mainly by the piece, to eight hoars’ work. Mr. Kennedy held that it would be no hard. ship, would divide the emoluments, and answer to a question said he did not think it was possible tor the labor organizations, with- out the example of the government te back them, to carry out an eight-hour rule. ‘MR. OYSTER'S REMARKS. Zz Mr. E. W. Oyster, from the federation of labor, followed. Mr. Oyster said the original law meant to make eight hours a day’s work— not mexznt to increase the emolument of the government employes, but to benefit the work- iugmen generally by making the governmentan example. The law, however, has been violated by the government from the start. ‘The decis- ion of the Supreme Court has prescally wiped the law off the statute book, and at pres- ent it might just as well be repealed. ‘The law not enforced is merely pulling the wool over the eyes of the working people and they are got- ting very tired of it. They see laws in favor of corporations and such organizations rigidly en- forced, while those in iavor of working men are not enforced, or at the best for only a few days before an election. Mr. Oyster referred to the law as being especially broken at the city post office, the insane asylum and the govern- ment printing office, most of the men, a3 Mr. Kennedy has said the men at the government printing office, are working UNDER PROTEST. Mr. Oyster referred to his suggestion at the last hearing that the committee write to the heads of departments for information as to the breaches in the law, as it was a hard matter to get un employe to put his name to a document pe he knew in some way would act against ‘im, Mr. Oyster, however, read a letter from the insane asylum, signed “Attendants,” stating that the hours of work were part of the year fifteen and one-half hours per day and for the rest sixteen hours, Little time was given tor private affairs and no real holidays. ‘The pay wes from $16 to $25 per month. They were working under protest and the state of the case should be investigated. THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, said Mr. Oyster. was not exactly as bad as this, but the same state of affairs was in existence, sald Mr. Oyster, ‘‘causes our federation eight- ee cou Hn right to repl, Mr. to this charze. mae “At present,” said Mr. Oyster, ‘we can make no apy to private parties by holding the government as an example.” fact was brought out that the work at the government prin‘ office was constantly # ieee [ af made plain to us, It wasa mistake to omit a/| provision which would be beyond cavil that no | WANT THE BOOKS.
