A CAMPAIGN 10 BE ORGAN The First of May, Next Year, is the Time Set. DETAILS OF THE WORK A meeting of prominent leaders of the American Federation of Labor will be held in Weshington soon to consult on meas- ures connected with the proposed eight- heur work day, in the success of which the members of the American Federation cf Labor have a vital interest. Of the variots economic questions which were considered by the sixteenth annual convention of the American Federation of Labor, which met at Cincirnatt last win- ter, that ef the shorter work day was re- gerded as being of paramount fmportance. On a recent occaston President Samuel Gompers voiced the unanimous sentime of the delegates to the convention, as well also of the membership generally, which comprises more than 600,000 workers of all crafts, when he stated that he recognized “the great influences that a reduction in the hours of laber has upon the economic, so- cial, political and moral condition of the workers and on all the pecple as well as oa the great number of our brothers and sis- ters who have been deprived of an oppor tunity of employment, and with a full knowledge taat the road to independence, to a better, a nobler life, lies through the movement of organized labor in its un- ending and unconquerable struggle for a shorter work day.” Previous conventions, not oniy of the American Federation, but of the distinctive crafts, had earnestly considered th’ tion, ard had devised various 1 | agitation and for the attainment of the eight-hour work day. A Degree of Success. Through years ef agitation and effort, whieh frequently resulted in a strike or lockout, many of the crafts in localities have secured the shorter work day. It has not become general probably because in the past there has not been general concerted action of the wage workers of the, country. Outside of the large busi- comparatively few work less hours, and in many instances nine ‘Whether! some vised which will hour movement and c oughly combine the orgar of the country in a concerted, and successful effort io secure day is a question which ha: serious attention of the the councils of labor. Th a shorter engaged the prominent. in American Fed- eration being the great representative body of the organized labor of the country b through the executive councli of that bedy during the last year, as instructed by a Previous cenvention, secured some conecs- sions for an eight-hour day. President Gompers states that ber of unions. made the demand, many instances secured it by str much larger number, however, hac a num- the reduciion conceded to them without even h the necessity of Further effort w as necessary, and as sugg dent Gompers the executi - each national or international union ected to recommend to the Am Federation of Labor a repre their respective organization, ¥ in the city in which the headg the American Federation of Labor be locate; these to const board.

Representatives from the fifteen local organizations allied with national and international unions which are affiliated with the American Féderation of Labor will constitute the board. These unions are as follows: ‘n= fon, No. 21 Un- jon, 1s; 8 Ho: and Brother hood of Ma al Workers, > 174; Printing 2 Union; Journcymen ‘Tailors’ Union and Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101, It is presumed that the deliberations of this advisory board will result finally in the formulation of some feasible plan for the furtherance of the eight-hour move- ment. ‘They will also consider the suggestions of the committee to whom the matier was referred during the session of the last con- vention, which were that mass meetings for the purpose of agitation be held simul- taneously throughout the country on May 1, July 4, September 6 (Labor day) and No- vember 24 (Thanksgiving day). It was also recommended that eight-hour literature be liberally circulated; to request speakers, newspapers and the labor press to dis- course upon the purposes of the eight-hour movement; the issuance of circulars to the employers requesting the concession of the eight-hour day; the appointment of com- mittces to confer with employers and se- cure the eight-hour day without cessation of work. ‘The convention also recommended that all organizations make s reduction in the hours of labor as early as possibie, particularly during the spring, on or before May 1, 1807. In the meantime the cfficers of national, iniernational and locat trade unions are requested to furnish fula information reiative to the increase in or- ganization and the preparation for the in- avguration of a general movement to re- duce the hours of jabor. A Day Set to Begin. Whatever may be the outcome within the next thirty days as the result of action alcng the line devised by the American Fed- eration of Labor, or within the next year, the last convention has declared the pur- pose to demand the general enforcement of the eight-hour work day May 1, 1898, peaceably, if possible, forcibly, if ‘neces- sary. It is said by those identified with local labor that unless there is a great change for the better in trade conditions in the District during the present year, it is not probable that there will be an increase in the number of cight-hour organizations. It is said that comparatively few of the or- ganized workmen of the city work the shorter day on private work, notwithstand- irg the fact that the employes on govern- ment and municipal work are secured the eight-hour day by statute, which, under rormal trade conditions, should be ‘favora- ble to any effort made to secure the shorter work day. It is stated that the eight-hour organiza- tions are all of the building trades; the Bricklayers’ Union, with a membership of 600, being the largest. This crganization, after severa) attempts to secure eight hours, one of which in 1874 resulted in the Cisruption of the organization, succeeded in 1890 without cessation of work. In the spring of 1886 there was a con- certed and united effort made by the build- ing trades to secure the shorter day, which resulted in a lockout of several months’ duration, which was finally terminated by a compromise on a nine-hour basis. Since then, with the-exception of the Steam and Hot Water Fitters, no organization has made the demand for a shorter work day. The questions inyolved in the agitation for the reduction of the hours of labor are claimed to bp the inspiring cause of or- ganization. The committee on the eight- | hour movement, in submitting its recom- mendations to the late convention of the ie | Federation of Labor, tersely con- follows: An Economic Movement. “The old tem-hour movement AUTOMATIC GAS MACHINE.

It is a class movement. “It is the common ground upon which the industrial and social forces of reform meet and fraternize. It the universal movement of humanity. Whenever men and women toil in congregated industries and enterprises, the movement for shorter hours ts the slogan of their advancement. “The philosophy or law of the eight-hour Movement cannot be too often repeated. The laborers, having lost the power to sell the products of their labor, have be- come wage slaves, because they are som- pelled to sell their labor on time. The withholding of time from the market of labor increases the value of each hour sold; distributes the hours of work to those without work; increases the wages or pur- chasing power of the da: work, through the natural laws that govern the distribu- tion of wealth; hours thus released from toil furnish the opportunity for leisure; enfiance the value of the man educated through leisure; the moral. forces thus quickened into new activities will thus abolish those vices and crimes consequent upon the inequitable distribution of wealth and opportunity.” sy “Want” ads. in The Star pay because they bring answers. ——__——ee.
