A WAGE EARNER IN OPEN LETTER

TALKS IN AN INTERESTING MANNER ON WAGE PROPOSITION. DISCUSSES SHORT HOUR DAY Says the Eight Hour Law Will Not Restrict Production. To the Editor of the Morning Palladium : After hearing and reading a number of addresses upon ihe wage proposition and knowing so many employes to be against the shorter day and less pay for longer ones, I take this opportunity of addressing myself fo the wge workers and the public, and ask that you give my poor opinion space in your valued paper. Should the workingman concede a reduction in wages in order to obtan a shorter work day? or will the shorter work day increase the cost of production or lessen the output? Temporary lower wages may in some cases be conceded as a method of getting the shorter work-day. Restriction is already rare. The shorter work-day Avill not increase the cost of production nor lessen the output. I have prepared some observations upon the history of achievement of shorter days in the building trades and its results. It is an important fact that the eight hour day now obtains throughout thie United States. The history of how this condition was brought about is pertinent. The first practical step was taken in 1SGG, when the first National Trades Congress held in Baltimore, adopted a resolution favoring the eight hour day and appealing to the unions in the several states to agitate the cause and to obtain official bureaus of statistics to prove its practibility. In the same year the journeymen stonecutters of North America ordered strikes for the eight hour day. They were successful, and that is the single trade that has maintained the eighthour day, without interruption, from that time to this. The movement progressed in other trades with varying success. The agitation was reflected in the introduction of eightwhich was presented by Representative George Julian of Indiana in 1807. In 1871, the local organization of painters in New York City struck for the eight hour day. This strike soon involved nearly every union in the country, the length of the day thus prevailing was from eleven to twelve hours. Many mass meetings were held and some bloody riots occurred Year after year saw May day demonstrations for the shorter day. These kept the subject before the people in the larger cities. In 1SG6 the American Federation of Labor formally declared in convention at Cleveland in favor of the was a rivalry among the affiliated was a rivalrj- among the affiliateed national unions for the distinction of leading in the fight. The convention selected the Brotherhood of Carpenters to head the movement. That Brotherhood ordered many local strikes, which were so successful 'that within a year or two that many strikes occurred in other building trades. By 1S90 the movement had progressed so far that the eight hour day had become established through out many building trades,' although in some, where the eleven and twelve hour day had been practiced, a compromise on nine hours was effected. From 1890 even these exceptions grew more and more rare, until by 1S96 it could be said that eight hours had become practicallv nniversaal throughout the building trades of the United States. There are, it is asserted, not more than a dozen towns of noteworthy size where the old longer day still holds good. Inferior habits are as much the cause as they are the results of lower wages. Reducing the hours of labor acts more directlv on the habits of people than any other, heretofore proposed. How far is the truth of this proposition proved by the actual experience of the building trades? The habits and standards of life among a1' workers of all grades, in tlie builo trades have been visibly and mateV ly elevated since 1SS5. This is cleaf r the result of the short" er work day"; which has enabled the heads of families to devote more time to all phases of their education. The consequent elevation of thought

causes a more refined home life, improved dwellings and a higher standard of morality. I wish to emphasize the fact, also that higher wages have followed the shorter day throughout the building trade. For example, wages of the carpenter, painter, electrical worker and others have doubed or nearly so while the wages of all other trades have materially increased. The statement that less hours means less wages is historically untrue and is based upon a false theory of the laws governing wages. If wages were regulated by the number of hours worked, then wherever the days were longest wages would be highest, and where the days work was shortest wages would be lowest. Exactly the reverse is true. Civilization follows the line of the shorter work dav, and means the highest purchasing power of a day's labor. The assertion is frequently made that restricted output prevails in the building trades. I have ascertained that quite as much and in many cases more work is accomplished in the trades in eight hours as was formerly done in ten. If, as a matter of public policy, it is wise to maintain public schools, to support which every citizen is taxed whether he has children to educate or not if for the national welfare we are justified in regu lating jthe age at which children shall be employed and the hours and conditions under which , women shall work, is it not equally to the national interest to gard the physical jvellfare of our wage working citizens, and to insure them the where-with to feed, clothe and educate themselves and families in a mannr befitting the citizens of an enlightened countrv. EDWARD PORTER, A "Waere Earner.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catai-rh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doeses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure.
