WORK IN SHIP YARDS The Senate committee on education and labor held a hearing today which lasted until nearly 2 o'clock on the subject of the bill pending before Congress to make it an offense punishable by a fine for contractors for government work to work men over cight hours a day cn such work. The room of tne committee on education and labor crowded with some of the most distinguished employers of labor in the United States, a half dozen of whom have in their employ ioeday about 25,000 men. These gentlemen argued against the passage of the bill and gave numerous reasons why any attempt to enforce the eight-hour law on government contracts would be disastrous to their industries and impossible of accomplishme ‘Deir ar- guments were listened to Sy incinbers of the subcommittee of the committee on edu- cation and labor having the bill in charge and also by representatives of the leading labor organizations of the country. Senator Kyle, chairman of the subcom- mittee, and Senators Perkins of California, Gear of Iowa, Penrose of Pennsylvania and Mantle of Montana, all members of the subcommittee, were present. There were also present, representins large manuf: interests, Mr. Mc- Cammon H.

Milford Spohn and R. H. Lewis of the Cen tral Labor Union and William Marsh of the Building Trades Council. At previous hearings conducted before this committee, repres atives of labor or- ganizations had been given a hearing on the bill, today being devoted to hearing wiizt representatives of th> big corpora- tions had to say upon it. Representative: of labor organization will probably be given an opportunity to reply to statements made today. Impossible to Conduct Business.
