The powerful railway brotherhoods who have by tedious and expensive lobbying in Congress reduced their hours of labor to 1 ' ? per day, have no tified their masters that they intend to begin lobbying for a further reduc tion to ten hours a day, or nearly as lew hours as the section hands work. The railroad -yngnates have already begun to hollar in calamitous tones: thrv declare that the enactment of a ten hour law would nearly double the number of men now in service, which of course, would be followed by bank ruptcy and ruin. .MOTHER JONES NOT A SOCIAL IST.
