THE EAST BOOH, AS IT
c&cial reception given by the head of the
present administration.
Certainly neTer before has there been at a
White House reception such a large and
distinguished representation from the other
nations of the world. This was due to the
presence, in addition to tbe large diplomatic
ssd consular officers of other countries, of
-the delegates to tbe International Maritime
Conference and the delegates to the Pan
Amercan Conference. The presence of these
distinguished foreigners was naturally the
leading feature of the reception.
XS INSPIRING SCENE.
The mansion had been specially prepared
Jor the occasion, and, when the reception
xras at its height, presented a spectacle of
unusual beauty and splendor. The fnll
Marine Band, in gay uniforms oi red and
Hue, was stationed in tbe vestibule just in
side the main entrance, and, with but few
intermissions, played lively and inspiring
snnsic from the time the President took his
stand at the head of the receiving line in
the Blue Parlor until tbe last of the callers
had taken his departure, a period of a little
ever three hours.
The interior decorations, while not elab
orate, were very effective, consisting or a
liberal distribution of tropical and flowering-plants
in all places where they could be
displayed to advantage. The general effect
vas also heightened by the brilliant illumi
Nation of all the parlors, the bright gaslight
being reflected from myriads ol irridescent
crystals and numerous Trench plate glass
Xaxnon. Tall India rubber plants, mingled
with delicate ferns and ivy, lined the main
corridor and filled every alcove.
PLANTS IK PBOFUSION.

'Vwas concealed by a number of tall large

background lor tbe receiving party. The

members of the Cabinet, with the ladies of

Colonel Ernest, of the army, and Lieuten

special presentations, and the latter repeat

occupied the place next to the President.
Tbe other ladles assisting were ranged next
in order as follows: Mrs. Morton, Mrs.
"Windom, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Wanamaker,

The toilets of the ladies were singularly rich

THE TEMPOBABY FIBSX LAST.
Mrs. McKee wore a "beautiful dress of
white armene silk, with square neck and
full elbow sleeves, made a la Martha Wash
ington, the front being embroidered In
white mousseline de soie. Her ornaments
were diamonds. Her manner was gracious
and cordial, and added to her delicate
beauty, created a decidedly favorable im
pression. She carried a large bouquet of
Catherine Mermot msei, and followed the
example of her. mother in acknowledging
general introductions by a bow instead of
byshaking hands.
The President, however, adhered to pre
cedent and shook hands witb each one of
the thousands who called. Back of the
receiving line were a large number of
specially invited friends, including nearly
all the debutantes of the season.
The members of the diplomatic corps were

THE 8-HOUR SCHEME.

What Local Builders and Contractors
Ba?e. to 3ay Thereon.
LABOR LEADERS VIEWS EXPRESSED
Opinions That Pittsburg Will be a Good
Place to Begin.
OPPOSITION EXPECTED FEOM K. OP L.
A, General Consensas ef Ueii Upon a Tital Subject to
the Masses.
Local views upon the most interesting sub
ject of eight hours for a day's labor give
every shade of opinion as to possibility, ad
visability and probable success. Opposi
tionand encouragement carefully1 canvassed.
It appears from dispatches sent out from
New York recently that the Federation of
Labor was soon to inaugurate a movement
against the contractors and builders who
are now working their men over eight hours
a day.
President Gompers, in an interview with
the Associated Press representatives Sun
day, said that an effort would soon be made
to make the eight-hour law universal. This
could only be done by o gradual movement
on the part of the labor organizations, he
said, but it would become a reality if it was
worked in the right way. Tbe carpenters
and joiners, the bricklayers and stone
masons would have to be brought into the
fold first and snbseouentlv the other organi
zations by a gradual affiliation which would
embrace every labor organization in the
United States.
BOT LITTLE OPPOSITION.
He said that he expected little opposition
to the scheme if the letters which he had re
ceived from employes could be taken as a
criterion of what the others intended to do.
The only opposition which he fears is from
the workingmen who are now working long
hours and are not confident of the success of
the undertaking. It is intended to first.en
list the building trades, and, by degrees, the
others, he thinks, can be brought in.
xesteroay aiternoon a visit was paid to a
number of architects, builders and contract
ors' offices in the city in order to obtain their
views on the subject. The offices of A.
Peebles, A. Y. Lee, J. A. Jacobs,
U. S. Barker and George Daniels were
visited by a Dispatch representative. Mr.
Jacobs was the only one who was in his
office, and when asked what he thought of
tbe movement, said he had nothing what
ever to say about it, as he belonged to a
labor organization, and would not commit
himself in any way.
AN ABCHITECT'S OPTNION.
J, TJ. Barr, the architect, was seen at his
office, No.42Jf Sixth street, and said he was
in favor ol the eight-hour movement, and
would like to see it adopted in Pittsbnrg.
"The laboring men work too long as it is,"
he said, "and anything which will ameliorate
their condition should ba welcomed by
every liberal minded citizen. I am in favor
of having tbe change brought about in a
quiet way, and hope it will be accomplished
without any strikes and unpleasantness be
tween the employers and the employes.
There are plenty of good men in this country
who are apt and quick at any trade, but tbe
men who have made a specialty of one thing
for years, and are skilled mechanics must
be given thepreference.
A PLEA FOB FAIB TBEATMENT.
"I want to seethe laboring men treated
fairly and will do anything I can to better
their condition. Whether eight honrs la
bor would do it or not is another matter en
tirely, but there is one thing certain and
that is that they would have more time to
devote to their families, and the more time a
man gives to his family the better citizen he
is."
Another gentleman speaking on the
same subject, who did not wish
to be quoted said that Mr. Barr's theory ex
pressed his views almost entirely, and be
would lite to see eight hours be the work
ingma'n's time. When the laboring classes
are contented the country is safer from in
ternal strife, and Anarchists, Communists
abd agitators would have to seek other
fields in which to spread their pernicious
doctrines.
WHAT A CONTBACTOB SATS.
C. A. Balph, contractor and builder, of
41 Seventh avenue, was approached yes
terday afternoon.
He was very averse to saying anything as
an individual, but as a member of the Con
tractors and Builders' Union said: "The
scheme will certainly be fought by the con
tractors and builders ot this county. We
are now thoroughly organized and can give
the workmen a fight wbich they will hardly
relish. They are now working only nine
hours a day, which is too short a time for
any man who wants to earn his wages. It
takes entirely too long to put up a building
now, and if the workmen would only come
to some reasonable terms it would not only
benefit us, but also themselves; They caught
us napping two years ago, and almost be
fore we knew it had reduced the time to
nine honrs. There is a limit to everything,
and I believe they have now reached that
limit."
HO TBOUBLE ANTICIPATED.
Samuel A. Steel, ot Steel & Hall, brick
contractors, ot Wilkinsburg, said he had
nothing ot importance to advance on the
question except that he did not" anticipate
any trouble owing to the expected move.
He had not received any official notification
from any of the labor unions in which he
was interested, "We leave the hiring of
men to our foreman," said he, "and hold
the foreman responsible or, the quality of
the work. They sq also expected to hasten
it as fast ?s possible, and we find that if the
men want to they can do as much work in
nine hours as they can in ten, if in the
latter case, they are not disposed to rush.
This is the stronghold of labor organizations
in this country, and I suppose when tbe
movement is cocked and primed it will be
first tried by the builders trades in Pitts
burg and vicinity, and if they succeed hero
I do not doubt but they can make it almost
universal in the United States."
THE MOVEMENT CAN1 SUCCEED.
A member of the Builders' Exchange was
found on Liberty street, and when told what
Mr. Uftlph bad said, a significant grin stole
across his countenance, and when asked to
give his views for publication consented to
do so if his name were not used.
"The Dispatch can safcly say that we
are not Balph men by any means. I do not
want to be known as trying to injure the
Master Builders' Association, or throw cold
wateron Mr.T3alph, but if the builders'
trades start out to mace the eight-honr
movement a success they are going to suc
ceed. The carpenters and joiners have tbe
strongest union in the country. They are
an intelligent lot of men and make tbe best
citizens we have. I do not believe that
they want to cripple contractors and
builders, or indeed anybody else. X
do not believe either that tbey
would make any unreasonable de
mands, and indeed I do not know
whether or not they are desirous of working
only eight hours. They are, too, a sober
and home-loving set ot men, as a rule, and
if it will benefit them any to work only
eight hours they ought to have their way.
MEN IK GOOD CIECrjMSTANCES.
"Tbe most of them own their own homes
and have an interest in the welfare oftha
community in which they reside. It is
said, you know, that a healthy person, to
enjoy perfect health, should have eight
hours sleep, and taking this as an average,
a man would not then have at most Over
five or six hours at home if he worked at
any distance from where he lived. There
never was more building going on in Pitts
bnrg than at present and next spring every
carpenter ana once layer or stone mason m
the city will be in demand. One contractor,
.Henry Sbwt told b sot Iwg ago (feat
PITTSBTJRG - DISPATCH?
last summer he had taken contracts for
(300,000 worth of new work, beside' that
Which lie had on hand." ,
K, OF L. OPPOSITION EXPECTEfi.
A. J, Harnuck, df E. Magee & Co.,
dealers in builderi' supplies, believes that
such a movement on the part of the Federa
tion of Labor will be opposed by the.
Knights of Labor, but notwithstanding the
federation would probably come out ahead
in the fight
Joseph Keeling, of Keeling & Co., of the
Sonthside, brickmakers, did not believe that
the brickmakers would care about the eight
hour movement as theyuow work by the
piece, and often have a day's work done in
seven honrs unlets delayed by breakages.
We work two canes, one coes to work, at
noon and the other at midnight. The night
shift is frequently through by 7 in tbe morn
ing, and nothing is then done till noon, I
do notknow how the feeling is among other
trades, and do not care to commit myself on
the subject, but if the men unite In demand
ing eight hours I suppose their request would
have to be granted."
WHAT LABOE LEASEES SAT.
Secretary Wi'liam Martin, of the Amal
gamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers, said:
"Personally I am in favor of a general ex
tension of the eight-hour movement. I be
lieve that it is perfectly feasible for the
building; trades to take successful action in
this direction. In common with Mr.Weihe,
I hold that not alone is it feasible, but de
sirable for certain trades to obtain for Its
members a limitation of the working honrs
to cicht honrs. And I believe that tbe feel
ing among a good many of tbe employers is
favorable to the proposition. I have already
expressed myself on this subject in The
Dispatch and there is hardly any juse in
going overthe ground again."
District Master Workman Boss said: "I
am yery much in favor of tbe eight-hour
day, but I doubt it it can be obtained by
any concerted movement, or at any ono
time. I think it can best be obtained by a
gradual movement in that direction,' by
gradually shortening the hours; and by
being strictly conservative in the manner in
which the object is attained. I haven't anv,
doubt that employers would more generally
favor it, if the movement were more
general."
INTEBEST TVILL INCBEASE.
Editor John Ehman said: "A greater
interest will be taken in the question as the
time set by the federation lor a trial
thereof approaches. You may remember
that a similar agitation was inaugurated in
1886. The greatest benefit that will result
will be in cutting down the number of
trades that now work long hours, and as a
result the employment of the greater
number of men "in these trades, with
out reducing the wages. The early
closing movement among storekeepers and
others, sprung'out of the movement of 1886,
and it will be extended and strengthened by
the movement of 1890. I believe that the
municipal governments will follow the ex
ample of the Federal Government and adopt
the eight-hour week day. I am of opinion
that the more employers study the question,
the more they will favor it. Some of them
may claim that their business will be inter
fered with, but it the movement becomes
general, no injury will insue. I remember
that 13 years ago the Chicago furniture deal
ers issued a .circular favoring an eight-hour
work day, -as a remedy against overproduc
tion in their particular line of trade."
BEOABOINO EXTBEME MEASUBES.
M. P. Carrick, of the Painters' Union,
said : " President Savward. of the Mn.tPi-
.Builders' Association, at the Boston conven
tion, declared that be would not oppose the
main principles of tbe movement that were
at stake. He also said that he was a be
liever in shorter hours, but that he would
oppose any methods that teemed to be either
mistaken or extreme. I believe that a ma
1 1
jority of employers are in favor of the
eignt-nour Bvstem, and that they are in
clined to recognize from its fulfillment a
cessation of all tronble, such as strikes and
disagreements; and soon no individual em
ployer could suffer from the enaction of the
short day if the movement .were general."

Catarrhal Dangers.
To be freed from the dangers of suffocation
while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep
soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear, brain active and free from pain or
ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid matter
defiles the breath and rots away tbe delicate
machinery of smell, taste and bearing; to feel
that the system does not, through its veins and
arteries, suck up the poison that is sure to un
dermine and destroy, is indeed a blessing be
yond all other human enjoyments. To pur
chase immunity from such a fate should be the
object of all afflicted. But those who have
tried many remedies ahd physicians despair of
relief or cure.
