AX EFFORTS TO SECURE THE EXFORCE- MENT OF THE EXISTING LAW REVIEWED—AD- DRESSES BY REPRESENTATIVE CONNELL AND MEMSKS. OYSTER AND BEAUMONT. When, at $ o'clock last night, Mr. Thos. J. spresider Wm. J.

Oyster and Mr. Ralph Beaumontascended the platform at Graud Acmy Hall the hall was well filled with members of workingmen’s organizations, the District branch of the Farmers’ Alliance aud others. It was an cight-hour meeting called by « committee representing District Ax- sembly 66, K. of L., and the Federation of Labor. ‘There were several speeches and reso- lutions were adopted urging the passage of the cight-honr bill pending before the Senate with the ameudments proposed by the Federation of Labor. i ‘Mr. Foley, who presided, calied to the post of terers’ Assembly. ‘he meeting, Mr.,Foley said in calling the assembly to order, had been called for the purpose of giving the organized labor of the District an opportunity to express their views on the subject of the shortening of the hours of labor, and particularly to express their disapprobation of a in refusing to take up for consideration the bills | before it of interest to labor, and especially the | Seneral eight-hour bill.

Representative Connell, the first speaker, was introduced as the author of the eight-hour bill, the passage of which was urged by the work. imgmen’s organizations. Mr. Connell said bi always felt at home when among labor or those considering the rights of laboring men. He always felt it more of an honor to be invited touddreas workingmen than he would to re- ceive a gilt-edged invitation to address the Na- tional Association of Bankers and Capitalists. | He said a startling condition of affairs existed in this country. ‘The rich were growing richer, the poor poorer. “One-half of the entire wealth of country was owned by 30,000 people. That certainly was not a just or equitable dis- tribution of the wealth of the country. The workingmen of the country were not, he said, communists, or socialists, or nihilists. All over the country they saw workingmen assemble as they were assembled here tonight to secure their rights in a peaceable, orderly manner. He thought they would see good results from the agitation going on among the farmers and the workingmen. A proper adjustment of the great questions—the matter of transportation und the great overshadowing labor question— was not, he thought, far distant. ‘THE GOVERNMENT AND THE RAILROADS. He believed the day was near at hand when the great railroad systems would be not only controlled, but owned, by the government. It was urged that such a centralization of power was dangerous, but was it more dangerous to centralize such power in the government than in the hands of two men—Jay Gould and Van- derbilt? By the right of eminent domain the people could take the railroad property just as the railroads took the lot of the poor man that lay in its route, paying full value for the road, ata just appraisement of its actual worth, and not what its watered stock represented. The government had aright to issue money, wut its stamp upon it and pay for the railroads. it can be arrat $0 that no injustice will be done. They could have, back of the currency, issued to pay for these ‘railroads government bonds bearing a low rate of interest, 2 per cent say. The notes issued could be converted into bonds if the holders chgse, but he doubted whether many of them would ever be pre- tented for conversion or redemption. The currency would go out into country and be used in enterprises that would pay a better interest than 2 per cent and give employment to the unemployed. ‘THE RIGHT-HOUR BILL. Referring to the eight-hour bill he said: Unfortunately there were a few words stricker. out of the bill as it was reported to the House. He believed the Senate owed it to the working- inen of the country to restore these words and to consider this bil the action desired cach member of the com- mittee appointed by this meeting should en- deavor to see every Senator and member and /| impress him the necessity and import- taking Pending’ fabor . He said in closing that he stood ready to doallin his power to bring about the passage of the measure. MR. E,W. OFSTER. Mr. E. W. Oyster, the next speaker, referred to an effort pending in the city to secure eight hours from private employers. He said the settled when the season closed. The strike will, he said, continue when the season opens. One thing they will do if the employers do not come to terms soon and that would be to make | thisa city of employing painters. In other words the journeymen painters would all be- come employing painters und bid for work. | Mr. Oysterreviewed the courses ire bad taken | since the passage in the eight-hour law now on the statute books. The original ei hour law, be said, was tion of affairs existed similar to that existing today. For the last twenty-two years the work- ingmen of this country have been demandii its enforcement. ‘They have always believed that they had an eight-hour law. law was clear enough and strong cnough if it were only enforced. The understrappers of the govern- ment seemed to think it their duty to evade the to Congress for additional legislation. He be- lieved that when alaw said that eight hours shall constitute a day's work. it did not mean that men should be ited to work twelve hours or twenty-four hours. ‘THR HISTORY OF THE Law. ‘This eight-hour law was introduced by Gen. ! Banks in 1867 and passed by a vote of 75 to 23. It went to the Senate and was there pigeon- | °8! holed. In 1868 Gen: Banks offered practically the same Dill aguin and it passed both the House and Senate and was signed by President Joknson, June 25, 1868. Mr. Oyster reviewed briefly reasons given by members of Congress for voting for oF against the bill at that tae. secretary Mr. Stephen A. Clements of the Plas- | action of the Senate | C. Hert- | In order to bring about j {h tome one will be found to fill his place who will work; that was the truth of it and every gov- ernment employe knew it, Employes. he said, forced to work more than eight hours a day through the fear of their employers oF the ex- ecutive officers over them. there were some who were willing to work more than eight hours and deprive some other working- men of the op ity to work, but there were not many such. He thought they had all the facts to Justity the statement that employes Were compelled against their will to work more than eight hours a day. He referred to tests made against the para ais mata | fored ia letter and spirit never, he been enf. ther a1 under any administration. ACTIVITY BEFORE ELECTIONS. He remarked upon spasmodic enforcements of the law just before elections. In 1882 and 1883, he said. the bricklayers on the pension building worked ten hours a day and up to June, 1884, just before election, when some one | found out that there was an eight-hour law. | Ble. Oyster read from Tne Stan of that day an | order increasing pay to the rates prevailing i | the city and fixing éight hours us a day's | He thought it was strange that this law, which { hae stood on the statute book, was not thought | of until just before election. ‘Still ut that time men were working there under contract and | continned to work ten Loursa day at less than the prevailing w: ‘The contract system was | a way of evading the law. In relation to a ‘statement to fi viola- tions of the law that men were paid for over ; time he said be bad never beard ‘men | Were compensated for viviating » law that it lessened the offense. He reviewed briefly th agitation in England for shorter hours and sai men who were overlookers were brought as witnesses before parliamentary committees to teutify in behalf of the employers that working- men did not want the shorter hours. Men holding similar positions here, foremen aud assistant foremen, were brought forward to say that the workingmen are not demanding cight hours a day. ‘The federation, he said, in- dorsed the Connell bill, a few slight zi = pose the eight-hour bill | ‘Those who oj ¢ eight-hour bill are mostly of the cxpoving class. ‘The Federation of Labor sent in «memorial to the Senate ad- the bil! and it was printed together tter fromm a large ship-building con- tractor, who said if the bill became alaw it would become practically impossible for ship- builders in this country to build the naval vessels needed by the government under the eight-hour system. The speaker thought that these men could build ships then under the contract system, and just as well as the govern- ment could. EIGHT HOURS AXD POLITICS. The eight-hour law agitation had a great deal more to do with the results of the recent elec- tion than it was generally credited with. He referred to movements in Europe, speaking of the action taken by Emperor William. What the workingmen in this country should do, he | eaid, was to carry the matter into politics. The General Assembiy of the Knights of Labor, the American Federation and other organizations | hud indorsed the bill, but they depended a | great deal upon the organizations in this city | to push it. In fact every organization indorsed this bill because it asked for the employe of the government what workingmen were asking | from their own employers | ‘THE EIGHT-HOUR RESOLUTIONS. | At this point Mr. Blake, from the committee on resolutions, reported the resolutions drafted by the committee. The preamble set forth “that a law was enacted in 1968 which was in- tended to limit the hours of labor on public ork to eight per day, and which, if fairly in- terpreted and honestly executed, would so limit and regulate the hours of labor of employes of | the government; that said Jaw has not been en- foreed in accordance with its true spirit and in- tent, but, on the contrary, has been shamefully evaded and flagrantly violated, almost continu- ously from the date of its passage, by executive officers or their agents, in permitting or com- pelling laborers, workmen and mechanics em- ployed by or on behalf of the government to work more than eight hours per calendar day and is being thus evaded and violated at the present time; that in compliance with the request of the organized workingmen of the country, the House of Kepresenta- tives passed’. a bill (H. R. 9791), which, with the amendments recommended the Federation of Labor unions, will remedy the defects of the original law as construed. by the courts and the law officers of the govern- ment and compel its enforcement, and that of the five labor bills now pending before the Senate House bill No. 9791 will confer the greatest benefits upon the labor of the country.” J was resolved “That the organized working- prenof Washington, in mam meeting assembled, nowing that they represent the sentiments and wishes of the organized workingmen of the whole country undreds of thousands of workers and thinkers ontailo the ranks of or- ganized labor, respectfully but very earnestly | request the Senate to consider and pass at an | carly day daring the present session, with the amendments recommended by the Federation of Labor, House bill No. 9791, ‘constituting eight hours a day’s work for all laborers, work- men and mechanics employed by or on behalf of the government of the United States,’ &c. that Hon.

Blair, chairman of the committee on education and labor, is respect- fully requested to present these resolutions to the Senate and urge the consideration and pas- of the above-named bill.”” the resolutions were adopted unanimously. ‘THE SCROOL BOOK QUESTION. ‘The committee alsé reported a series of reso- lutions, which were adopted, setting forth that as ‘the House of Representatives, in response to the petitions of the entire body of organized | working people of Washington, have incorpo- Tated in the District appropriation bill » pro- Vision for free school books for the pupil of the public schools, and as the chi of the subcommittee of the Senate appro- priations committee, before whom the Dill is how pending, has declared his opinion that no- body wants free schoo! books and has expressed doubts as to the right of the committee of the Federation of Labor and District Assembly 66, | Knights of Labor, to for the people in is matter, it is resolved by the working people of Washington.

Two Pennsylvania Senators in Controversy Almost Come to Blows. ‘The legislative committee appointed to in- vestigate the Mammoth mine disaster finished the taking of testimony at Greensburg, Pa., yesterday morning and left for Harrisburg after improper conduct had openly been charged against Senator Hines and after Sena- tors Thompson and Hines had almost come to blows. ‘The witnesses examined last were General Superintendent Lynch and other officials of the H. C. Frick Coke Company. ‘They entirely ignored the damaging testimony concerning the condition of the mine given by miners yes- terday, save that Mr. Lynch presented letters showing that Fire Boss Smith, who waa charged with drunkenness and carelessness, was con- sidered a reliable man. They insisted that every precaution had been taken to make the mine safe. A STARTLING STATEMENT. Mr. Lynch threw a bomb when he said: “I desire to state one thing. I know that during the day communications were received in thi car from the outside and notes passed around. In this connection I must say that on Saturday night Senator Hines told me that he was the attorney fcr the Miners’ Union, which has control of the Connellaville region.” Senator Hines was then put under oath and said: “I had no communication with Messrs. Rea and Watchorn (officials of the Miners’ Union) further than to simply telephons them prior fo the hearing that I understood that the . C. Frick Coke Company would have repre- sentatives here and, if possible, that the miners should also be represented.” Senator Thompson here surrendered the chair and said: “+I would like to be sworn, as I believe I can make a statement which’ will throw some light on the presen controversy.” He was sworn by Senator Hines, and said: “On the way from Harrisburg I was engaged in a convermtion with Senator Hines when he told me that he had telegraphed Messrs. Rea and Watchorn of the coming of the commission and of its purpose. He algo told me that he was their attorney.” SENATOR HINES’ DENIAL. During this testimony tho palo face of the senator from Luzerne flushed noticeably, and in a voice trembling with suppressed indigna- tion he hastily exclaimed: “Upon my oath I emphatically say that so far as the se: the telegram is concerned I never Thompson I had sent one. I nev: gram except to Representative Farrel! ‘Thompson and Hines were waitirg to at- tack each other, but were restraine: ey soon started another scene, however, when Senator Thompson exclaimed impatiently: “Senator Hines, you are asking questions alto- gether irrelevant tothe subject unde= which ¢ witness is zt «You are a blacl ‘Again peacemakers interfered. ‘The sena- tars were kept apart and the taking of testi- mony was closed. ‘he attorney of the Frick Coke Company se- the l tors as unfair because verely critizises of the break between Thompson and Hines.

A feature of Sunday's elections in Spain is the great strength of the republican vole in towns. Five large towns returned republicans by large majorities, althongh Madrid, Barce- Jona, ‘Saragossa, Seville and Cadiz returned conservatives. The votes obtained by the two Fival republican sections would have sufficed, if combined, to defeat the monarchist in Sara- form and Barcelona. In Valencia the repub- icans received more votes than the liberals, in spite of the abstention of the socialists. The conservatives elected are chiefly protectioniste.

After having an audience with King Humbext Siguor Zanardelli had conferences with Signor Giodetti and the Marquis di Rudini. ‘The Paris Temps correspondent at Rome says that Signor Zanardelli, although he will main- tain Italy's position as a meinber of the triple Perna will show a friendlier attitude toward rance. CRITICISM IN THE COMMONS. In the British house of commons yesterday Mr. Majoribanke moved the appointment of a Commission to exainine the new magazine rifle and the reasons for its adoption. Mr. Hanbury condemned the system by which the new rifle roduced. He said that out of thi teen patents connected with the rifle one offi- ial held ten in hi own name. ‘The basic neces- sity wax not an isolated inquiry as to how the rifle was adopted, but reform in the war offi He therefore moved an amendment that a com- i into the mere details of the military administration was undesirable as weakening the full responsibility of the officials who recommended the rifle. After sharp debate, in which the war office was severely criticised, the amendment was carried by» vote of 108 s. TRADE WITH THE, COLONIES. Mr. Lowther gave notice of a motion request- ing the government to take immediate mens- ures to promote the formation of preferential fiscal reiations between Great Britain and hez colonies. Baron Henry de Worme. under colonial secretary, said that the question was receiving carefui ‘consideration and that the government recognized the urgency of the matter. HOURS OF RAILWAY WORKMEN. A motion by Mr. Michael Hicks-Beach, preei- dent of the board of trade. to appoint a select committee to inquire into the question of legis- lative restriction of the working hours of rail- way servants, was agreed to. Mr. Nolan (na- ionalint) moved that the operation of the re- lief works be extended. to Galway and Maye.

The Freeman's Journal of Dublin says that it is curious to note that Mr. McCarthy is fol- lowing Mz. Parnell’s lead. In his Liverpool speech he echoes Mr. Parnell’s Ennis speech. All just men will read Mr. MeCarthy’s speech with pleasure and with reassurance that this week will see settled many momentous mat- ters. Ata banguet given in his honor last ning at the Liberal Union Club tho Marquis eve of Harrington said that the Englishmen would neve> consent to an Irish parliament em- powered to deal with the land question. ‘The attitude they adopted might be summed up in the words: “When rogues quarrel honest men come to their own again.” ‘The sections of the Irish party will probably meet on Thureday, when the result of the Boulogne conference wili be announced and a modus’ vivendi will be Rroposed.

The Evening Star is the Oldest and most firmly estab lished newspaper published in the District of Columbia, having won the high position it holds in the confi- dence of the people of Washington by forty years of faithful and unswerving devotion to their interests, without regard to any other influence or con- sideration whatsoever. Tue Star is the Largest paper Published in Washington, with a | gencral equipment and printing facil- | ities three-fold greater and better than those of any other Washington paper; and, having the full Day Reports of both the New York Associated Press and the United Press, supple- mented by an unequaled service of Exclusive Special Dispatches from al. prominent points in America and Europe, it prints more and fresher Telegraphic News than any other Washington paper can possibly sup- ply, furnishing at the same time a | greater amount and better quality of Local, Domestic and General Intelli- gence, and a larger quantity aad | higher grade of Original and Selected Literary Miscellany than any papet in the District. Being delivered at the homes of regular subscribers for the trifling sum of ten cents per week, THe STAR is much the Cheapest paper published in the District, quantity and quality of contents heing considered. ‘Tae Star's circulation in the City of Washington is more than three times larger than that of any other newspaper, and the number of its readers more than five times as many, It is therefore in that (or even greater) proportion the Best advertising med- ium in the District. On this point | there is no ground for argument or doubt, even. It is the common testi- mony of the business community, and generally admitted. Note This Point. Tue Sra gives the exact figures of its circul-tion every week, and cheerfully opens its books and press and delivery rooms to any person having interest in the correctness of its statements, so that its patrons they are getting when they buy space in its columns.
