Eight-Hour Bill.
Washington, March 28.Hearings on
the eight-hour bill, which have been
proceeding before the house commit
tee on labor for the past six weeks.
were closed during the day, both sld"s
to the controversy being heard and
the friends of the bill having the iRsI
word.
Daniel Davenport, of Bridgeport,
Conn., representing an anti-boycott as
sociation, closed the argument against
the bill. He maintained that, taken in
connection with the law of 18! limit
ing work In government navyyards to
eight hours, the pending.bill, if pass* 1.
would be an infringement of the per
sonal rights of contractors- and there
fore unconst itut ional.
Under the former law, Mr. Daven
port said, a contractor violating the
proposed eight-hour law would be sub
ject to a fine of SI.000 and imprison
ment for six months the sub-ron
traetor would be subject to the sarno
penalty. Then, under the propoed
law, this same contractor would be
