Weak Case Put l*p I>y the Lawyers of the Measure's Opponents. As Is generally knotVn, a bill restrict ing the hours of labor on all work done by the government and for the govern ment, whether by contract or subcon tract, lias been Introduced ill the house of representatives by the Hon. John J. Gardner of New Jersey. The commit tee on labor of the house has had the bill under consideration, and several hearings have been had thereon. Some of the most noted and able attorneys of the United States have been in con stant attendance at the committee's hearings, representing particularly the Cramp Ship company and the Bethle hem Steel works. The legislative com mittee and the president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor have also been in daily attendance at the hear ings, representing labor's interests. During the hearings peculiar circum stances and contradictions have pre sented themselves, which exposed the inconsistency of the opponents' posi tion. One of the main contentions of the opposition Is that it is impossible to produce steel of the high grade required for armor plate and guns within eight hours and that, it is impossible to turn over a heat of steel to other workmen of equal skill without deterioration of the quality. This contention has been successfully refuted by disinterested and competent, practical witnesses brought forward by labor's representatives. It lias been shown that the very thing contended against is now practiced with men working ten and twelve hour shifts— that Is, that unfinished heats, forglngs and eastings are turned over from one set of men to another under the ten and twelve hour system; that different sets or crews of men are engaged at different furnaces in the smelting of steel for one and the same forging or casting, and therefore it Is not only possible, but now the practice; that four different crews of men often work at different heats for one casting and forging. There must of necessity be con ditions exactly alike in all of these heats, for otherwise the slightest vari ation In any one of the four heats would ruin the casting or forging; hence if this can be done now there cannot be any obstacle In the way of men of equal skill taking over an un finished heat under an eight hour rule. Personal Investigation, as well as testimony gleaned after the close of the hearings before the house commit tee on labor, has demonstrated be yond question that the opposition to the eight hour bill upou this ground is absolutely without any basis In fact. Apart from this, the opponents to the eight hour bill claim that they are not opposed to the eight hour system if it were generally applied in the industry of the country, yet by the witnesses they have put upon the stand they have endeavored to prove that the "sys tem" is impossible. Whenever this in consistency has been pointed out to the committee, the legal representa tives of the opponents have flared up and by an assumption of Indignation tried to hide tlieir discomfiture.—Samu el Gompers in American Federationist A VETERAN AT EIGHT. (InbeM Who Toll For a Pittance In FuctorleM of the South. Not a month ago I visited one of the finest mills in the south, in Columbia, S. C. The electric plant is the pride of the city, running two mills and the street cars and electric lights of Co lumbia. In the spinning room there are over 100 children under twelve working from dawn till dark. I asked one consumptive looking girl If she had been there long. "I haven't work ed but a year," she said. She was just eight years old. 1 spoke to a mite of a girl, scarcely more than a toddling infant. Ilcr soft baby hair was covered with the threads she had laid back on her head as she worked; her little sunbonnet had fallen back on her neck. She did not know her age, nor did her "elder" sister, whom she was helping. A girl of eight years old told me they were five and seven respectively and work ed there "all day long." I went that same night to a inill un der northern management, and there at 10:30 p. in. I talked to children who did not know their own ages working from O p. m. to G a. m. amid the racket and roar of machinery which did not cease for one moment during the night. A friend of mine found a child of five years working at night under these conditions. Hideous accidents are the order of the day. In one mill town in the south a doctor told a friend that he had per sonally amputated over 100 baby fin gers mangled In the cruel machinery. He dared not speak of it, he said, for the mill management preferred doc tors who could keep their mouths shut. In Iluntsvllle, Ala., last January, a little girl of eight years old lost two fingers of her right hand in the ma chinery. Had she worked two weeks longer she would have earned 0 cents a day. For such pittances are these children sold by the community they belong to, sold to a life of ignorance and moral and physical debasement. The sad and curious excuse offered throughout the south is that these chil dren "attract northern capital." This assertion is certainly backed up by the attitude of northern corpora tions in the south. In Alabama not only did Massachusetts capital procure from a careless legislature inexperi enced in the problems of manufacture the repeal of the protective law, but it was the agent of the same mills who was chosen to represent the entire mill interest by the lobby which killed the child labor bill introduced after 1 bad made' my investigations public.—lrene Ash by Macfadyen In New York Jour nal. KNITTING IN PARLIAMENT. Sot So Many Years Ao Men Did the Knitting For Scotland. Quite a thrill of surprise was caused by a Scottish member of parliament who was recently observed calmly knitting a stocking while waiting hi the smoking room of the house of com mons. At the present day the sight of a man plying the knitting needles is a novel one, though in the remoter parts of Scotland it is not at all uncommon. Less than liatf a century ago, how ever, the greater part of the stockings worn were knitted by the men folk, the women confining their attention more or less to spinning. The shepherd starting out at the break of day to his duties on the hill would as soon have forgotten his lunch of oaten cakes and barley bannocks as his knitting needles and wool. As he trudged through the heather on his visit to each part of his wide scatter ed llock or directed from a conven ient height the rounding up efforts of his faithful collie his tireless fingers plied their task. Even the well to do farmer as ho chatted with a friend of markets and "nowt" (cattle) could ill bear to see the minutes wasted, and the "click, click" of his needles bore witness to his diligence. Such industry seems strange to the present day mind, but what else had they to occupy their minds and time? Newspapers, as we know them now, there were absolutely none. Once a week or less frequently a small local sheet would circulate among the well to do homes. As for books, these were often lim ited to the Bible and "The Pilgrim's Progress." Of games there were but few, and for the most part these were not encouraged.—Home Chat. A WAY OF ESCAPE. Jakeway, the Widow B:IPN{OW niil tle Preacher's Text. "Talking about widows," said the man with the stogy, "did I ever tell you about. Jakeway and the Widow Barstow?" Now, there hadn't been a word said about widows, but one of the party re plied, "No, sir; you never did." "Well," said the man with the stogy, "Jakeway was a character, one of those you read about. He'd lived alone for years. When he was u young man, he had been disappointed in love or some thing, and from that time he'd been sour—a reg'lar woman hater—and the particular object of ids dislike was the Widow Barstow, aggressive from her head to her heels. The very sight of her to old Jakeway was like the wav ing of a red llag to a bull. "They useter go to the same church, but the ushers knew the situation well enough to put a goodly portion of the sanctuary between them. Unfortunate ly on one Sunday there was a new usher. The opening service was well under way, and Jakeway was in a pew by himself well down toward the front, when down the aisle came the new usher with the widow tailing along in his wake, und he handed her into Jake way's pew. "The old man gave one look as the figure rustled in; then he gathered up his umbrella, his hat, his bandana and his prayer book and cleared the back of the pew in front with the agility of a boy, and just as he landed on the front seat the preacher gave out his text: " 'There hath no evil befallen you such as is common to man but God will with the temptation ulso make a way of escape.' "—New York Mail and Express. The Table Napkin. Curiously enough, that article now considered almost indispensable, the table napkin, was first used only by children and was adopted by elder members of the family about the mid dle of the fifteenth century. In eti quette books of an earlier date than this among other sage pieces of advice for children are instructions about wip ing their fingers and hps with their napkins. it seems that the tablecloth was long enough to reach the lloor and served the grown people in place of napkins. When they did begin to use napkins, they placed them first on the shoulder, then on the left arm aud finally tied them about the neck. A Famous Compliment.
