T'he spoaker pro tempore. o thy abience of objsction the amendment will be con. sidered as |>(-nding. There was no objection, Mr. Comell said: Every true friend of labor will rejoice that an opportunity is now given for the eonsidoration of this bill, which 'has for its purpose the improveument of tho conditionof the wage-workers of A mori It is a bill that ouglt to receive,and I trust willreceive, the support of every member of this house. The committes on labor, of which L bave the honor to bea member, has most thoouglly ad carefully considered isions, and bas wnaninously reported avor of itspassige. It is endorsdd b American Federation of Labor ad b) many assemblics of tne Kuightsof Labor, It is supported bythe great army of wago- workers, who justly demind that dghthours shallconstitute a day’s work, aud who wi hail with delight its passae as asubstantiil and proper recgnition of the reasonableness of their demand. Mr. Speaker, the workmen and mechan ics *-of this country donotscekto ecape from toil. They recognize the necessity of working, They cheerfully submitto the divine decres promulguted almost six thousand yews ago that “in the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread.” They belicve libor is honorable and that with it comes contentmentand happi- ness. They recognize, as all thinking men must do, ihat idlencss is o full appreciation of these ciples thit they now demanda rduction of the hours of foil. The demand that eiglt hours shall constitute a day's work s 8 rtasonble demand. It 4 demand which, sconer or later, nust be conceded. Forthe welfar aud prosperity ofour coun- try I hope itmay be conceded withont un- necessary deliy. " The agititionat present exlsm:i: will " mever cesse until ths is oue.

With but few excoptios the strikes which have occurred have been ai- jtended by a strict obsexvanceof law and good order. The great strike for theeight hour -systom which oc ol atChicago in May Iast, wasa splndid vindication of the peace- able, lavabiling character of Ameriean workingmen.

No system canbe defended which will turn_willing workers into this hell and lock the doors against them. Shail we benow forced to con that alllaborsaviig inven- tiona bave proved a curseinsteid of a bloss- ing? This we must do,unless thohours of til are so reduced as to give employment to those who are willing to work. The inven- tions, whicn have bewm largely made by work- men and mechavics, were not. designed as a blessing tothe rich and a curss tothe poor. Steam and electricity were intended by God for tho benefit of allalike, Witn the aid of tiese most powerful agen more can now be acomplished in the brief space of eght Tours than formerly could be done ina week’s time. Mr. Speaker, of all the mtions of the eirth, Americals the gresest, grandest and . Nowhere else in the great universe that God has given to man,are the condi- tions so_favorable for peace, prosperity and plenty. We have enough for all andto spre. Our agricultural and mineral resources are without linit. Enough is produced cach year, if justly distributed, to retieve from toverty and want all who awm in distress, and bring coutentment and happiness to every home. What becomes of the wealth ated by labor! Isit not unfairly diverted thepockets of a few, while the many are left tostrugele in want' and nisery? Those are questions which are being asked and to which we must mako response. This is the problem tobe silved and upon the members of this houwse does the responsibility of its true solution largely rest. Of all the dangers to this great and glorious republic, the great- et is the concentration of enormous wealth in thehands of a few, The rich aregrowing richer while the posr are becoming poorer. It is merely a cuestio of a little time, at the present rate of accumulation and absorption, when the Goulds, Vinderbilts, Astors and a few favored ones, will own allthat is worth possessing, What is true of the rich in New K’ork and Boston is also true of icago and other weswrn cities. A few are ibsorbing the enti product of labor, which alone creates wealth, while the ma are strug- gling for mere existence. In view of this condition of affairs, can wo do less than de- clare that cighthour shall constitute a day’s work,and 5o perfect existing law as to re. quire a strict and honest observance of the thoursystom by all oMicials of the gov- ernment ¢ doingthis, we render a most service t tho cause of laborand greatly aid the wageworkers of the coutry in thelr strugele fora general recoguition of 4 system which will givato them greater tunities for rest, recreation and enjoy- Since this bill was reportel, I have d from various assemblies and labor atios, many resolitions endorsing its provisions.

Mr. Connell—No, sir; I donot think that is the purpose or effect of the provision re- ferred to. Mr. Hili—The gentleman will observe that it provides at tho end tl they shall be deemed'to beemployed byandon behalfof the government of the United States. [f they amemployel byandon behalfof the govornment, of the United States, the United States would certainly be liable for thenr payment, Mr. Connell—That refers only to liboror: workmen, or mechanics actually employed b thegovernment.

Notling could be leared at the e« mpany’ office as to the object or probableresult of tho general manager’s visit, but it is understood thatit wis occasioned by the mooted question of depot grounds. Now that the Milwaukeo has securel a ninety-nine years lease of right-of-way acmss the Union Pacific bridge and over the tracks to South Omaha, it wants depot facilitios in thiscity, Itwill be entilled o gointo the now union depot on the same terms as the ofher roads, but that strweturowallnot be completed for two years. It, therefore, wants accommodations of” some kiudin the meantin The Union Pucific is accupying temporary quarters with the 1B, & M. on ground owned by the latier company, and the Milvaukee wanted to rent alittleslico of the sume quarters, but the B. &M. folks 1ld not perimt it, 1 used to let the Milwaukee folks come in *opt at what the latter considored an cx- orbitant figurr, and as they have full con trol of the lateh string, the Milwaulee is still out in the cold. This being the caso, it is necessary for them to do some active hustling, and™ itis understood that General Manager Earling came hero for that very purpose. ‘The fact that he putin nearly all of his time while here st the company’s vacaut grounds at Seventeenth and Mason, which is justbeside the leased tracks of the ‘company, gives risoto the belief that the latter in- tends erectinga depot at that point proy. the B.

[f the tem por- ary accomodations unti the union depotis v, the Union Pacific’s new freight depot will talee care of all the freight on the lines crossing the bridge, The Milwaukee officials express the belief thatthe B. & M. dresnot wantthem in the raty depot atatl and will not let them s'they come to the stiffl terms de- They charge thattheB. & M. is trying tofrece them out of the city for two longer., ‘What the rsultof General Manager Farl- ing’s visit will be canmot_be determined, but theimpression prevails that it will lead to a speady settlement of the question whether the B. & M. will come to satisfactory terms or whether the Milwaukee must erectits own depot at Seventeenth and Mason, Scveral others of the Milwaukee oMcials were in the city, but did not visit the l)l'o;mscd depot site.
