Con Lynch thus expresses himself on the eight-hour question : At the present time there is no question of more Importance to the Interests of workingmen - men , whether organized , or unorganized , than Unit which Is attracting the attention of nil bodies of organized labor In America , namely , the eight-hour movement. It is Important to the working people from the fuel that , If or ganized , labor is successful lu reducing the Lours of lubor to eight per day. it will ro- inovo from the "nrmy of unemployed" nt cast & ) per cent of these who are now suffer ing from enforced idleness It Is Important to the wage-Werners engaged in every branch of Industry , the common laborer nnd skilled tncclmnlc alike , that the hours of toll should lie reduced from ton to eight per day , for the wamo cmuscs that lead to the present enforced idleness of many of these who are out of em- jiloymcnt and unable to obtain it , are still at work , and will In the future , as in the past , continue to constantly cause a gradual In crease in the number of unemployed wage- earners , while , at the sntno time , they will continue to cause a gradual decrease of the employed wage earning portion of the jpomilntlon of the country unless lubor do- VI.SOH BO mo method whereby the causes that exist for so in'Joh Idleness on the [ mrt of the bread winners , can bo overcome. This can partially bo done by a reduction in the pres ent number of working hour * . LJut in order to understand the necessity for a reduction of the hours of labor , from ton to eight. It is necessary to inoulro into the cause that has led to this necessity. Labor saving machinery has , by the Bklll and genius of the American work- Iiiiin , been brought to such a high de gree of perfection , that human labor is rapidly giving way to machine lulx > r in nil branches of industry. Where- over human labor is employed , there , too , mav the labor-saving machine bo found. Its strength nnd rapidity enables it to perform in a day the work or many human hands. Thus it reduces the cost of pro- auction , , und consequently throws out ot employment the workman , because ho is unublo to perform the same amount of labor in the same given tlmo nnd at the sumo cost ni the machine. Thus It , instead of being a. blessing to the workman by relieving him of the burdens of exhaustive physical toll , has , ou tne contrary , increased his misery by oflun depriving film of the opportunity of Bclll'.ig his labor. And , while the labor- Having machine has undoubtedly reduced the cost of production , yet to the average wngc- carnei it has nuido no material change In the price of consumption , for what benefits can the wage-earner derive from the reduction in the cost of production by labor-saving machinery if that same labor saving machine causes r.ltu to bo thrown out of employment , or puffer n reduction In w.xgcs caused by a sur plus of idle labor which has been displaced py homo labor saving devlco , placing him in Biich u position that from reduced wages it requires if not all at least the greater portion tion of his earnings to maintain himself and those dependent upon him , leaving him no margin or saving. Another evil which the wage-worker is forced to suffer is the introduction of child labor in manufacturing establishments to run the machine nt child wages , which of tentimes necessarily forces the father to compote in the labor market against his own child , which , ut the time , should bo at BchobU While , this Is but' another effect 6f labor-saving machinery upon.lnbdr , it is a dangerous ono from the fact that it has a tendency to spread illiteracy among the chil dren of the manufacturing localities by forc- jng.lhom to enter a factory uturr ago when they should be entering the school house. Foreign immigration , too. plays au impor tant' part tn the American labor mar ket , constantly adding to the already over flowing surplus of idle labor. And , if under the present ten-hour system the working population of the country is unable to find employment , what will bo the condition of nffulrs live years hence , with n steady stream of foroii'n labor pouring in. To say the * least , it will bo a dangerous state of affairs , lor tnosc people mooting with disappoint ment nnd distress uro likely to feel that they owe nothing to our government nnd furnish germs for another French revolution on American noil. It is the duty of the Am erican people to furnish the opportunity for nil these who may scelt our shores for the purpose of battering their condition to do BO , or at once withdraw the Invitation to the oppressed and poor of all [ anils to seek our Bhorcs , where they can enjoy "the unnllen- able righta of life , liberty nnd the pursuit of liuppinoss , " nnd at once and forever close our forts ngninst immigrants. The natural increase of population by birth also adds its quota to the uriny of American labor nnd room must bo made for it as it en- tern the labor.market. tabor-saving machinery , foreign immigra tion and the natural Incrcuso of population , constantly reducing the cost of production to thu minimum , nnd monopolies , combines nnd trusts increasing the cost of consump tion to the maximum , forms the mill stones that are constantly grinding American labor , the wet king man , from his situation in life , being both producer and consumer. Hut the sama genius that has invented and the sumo Intellectual , .skill that has constructed all this wonderful machinery is aulo to remove these evils complained of by labor. And that genius and Intellect's the American workman himself. IIu is now about to claim and utilize for his own bone- 1H u part of the results of his genius and labor. And this ho proposes to do by reduc ing his hours of toll. While engaged in the production ot machinery , ho had no tlmo to turn the products ot his lubor to his own benoilt. But now , after his task has boon partially competed , ho proposes to pause long enough to use what ho has already pro duced as a stopping stone to n higher piano of civilization by devoting two hours of his prcnescnt workday to study and recreation. ' Tim reduction of the hours of labor i of interest to moro tlmn workmen. It is of interest to 'all who doslra that American institutions shall Nourish , for after all it is upon the prosperity and contentment of the industrial masses that the proirress and stability of u republican form of government mainly depend , and In order that the In dustrial masses may bo prosperous It is neo- essury that they should bo steadily em ployed. A reduction in the hours of-labor - Is also of interest to these who , by the nature of tboir 4 business , are forced to depend ou the patron age of the public. In proportion to the num ber of idle hands that will obtain steady em ployment will their business Increase , because - cause it will increase the purchasing power of 130 per cent of these who now , through luck of steady employment , tire compelled to deprive themselves of many of the comforts of llfo nnd to bo content with the bare neces sities only. And what IB true of the retail dealer is also true of the wholesale dealer nnd the manufacturer. It is the purchasing power of the consumer that increases or decreases production. Thus the Interests of these who dual in the noces- Biirlos of llfo ore identical With the internals of the wugo earners so far as steady employ ment on the part of the wago-ournors is con cerned. Steady employment for all those who seek It Is also of interest to these who nro engaged In moral reform , anil who uro constantly deploring what Is icrmod au In crease ot crime. If Idleness is productive of vice and crime In places where want is a stranger , what must bo the result when enforced - forced Idleness enter * whom u bounteous supply is a total stranporl What condition must u man's mind bo in who , out of em ployment and unable to obtain it , finds him self without shelter and with hunger gnaw ing nt his stomach ! Too often is he ready to euibraco any opportunity to relieve Ills lui- inediuto wants , and once ho starts dowu the road of potty crime , ho Jlnds it difficult to retrace his stcus. Criminals in our penal institutions are put to vrork for the purpose of reforming them. If it Is a good reform measure after u crinio , butt been committed by a man who could not obtain work before ho committed u crime , then U must bo a bettor reform measure to jmt men to work before they commit crime. Jf it U unjust and inhuman , as our prison Authorities and tbo friend * ot convict labor claim , to keep n mnn Idle whllo n prisoner , what must It have boon to have kept that Bftiro man idle while ho wns n free rann , nnd willing to work if bo could find work to del Tbo reduction of the hours of labor Is also of Interest to these engaged In the nobto work of charity , hs It will afford n greater opportunity to many who now , through the lack of steady employment , nro partially un able to properly support these dependent upon thorn , and are forced to receive aid from their moro fortannto nnd charitably disposed neighbors , to earn tholr own bread. Thus from n combination ot many causes the Intelligence of American labor has dem onstratcd that in order for the workman to ndd his slihro to the advancement of civili zation nnd the urospority of the republic ho must provide for hlmtolf steady employment nnd BUftlclcnt leisure In which to cultivate nnd broaden his Intellectual , moral nnd BOcliil faculties. This ho believes can bo partially accomplished by a reduction of the hours of labor from ton to eight per day , "lo Is also desirous of reducing his hours of nbor in such n manner as not to clash with bo business Interests of the country and his ho believes can onlv bo done by mited wid IntelllKont notion , hence his dc- Ire for organization , for it must not bo un- lorstood that American labor Is striving to idx'nnco Itself nt the expense of legitimate insiness enterprise , by checking or retarding ho returns derived from capital invested in n > luctlvo Industry or other business enter- irb.es , for labor Is well aware tnat it is to its jest Interests to advance itself by engaging n as few Ditched battles with capital ns pos- Iblo. It is also aware that business pru- lonco , teamed by experience , teaches capital hat it is to its best Interests nol to provoke abnr into dcclaiing war in tbo form of trlhcs. 13oth capital and labor nro begin- ilng to rooogplzo tho" fact reason Is mightier .him stuobornnoss in settling disputes bo- , wocn them , and tnat mutual concessions are moro proIItable and enduring than victories won by the strike and the lockout , the black- 1st and the boycott Therefore let us try nnd forget for once hat ' we are employes or etnployorn.

Mr. Finnoy was i man of excellent moral worth. Ho wu converted and united with the M. E. church while living in Milwaukee. His last illness was long mid exceedingly painful. Although his friend * know that ho was dangerously ill , his death was n great shook to them.

The First of May. On Wednesday comes the 1st of May , with ts attendant hustle nmong tenants for now louses for the comlntr year. The outlook 'or the tenant Is more promising than It has iccn bcforo In Omaha for years , nnd It may 10 accepted as n general fact that rents will ' 10 lower than they have been since Omaha's worn began. The croakers and Omaha has ts quota of them , unfortunately would load ho uninitiated to bollovo that this fact is duo to a decrease In the demand for houses. The very opposite Is the case. The condi- Ion Is duo to the fact that the men of moans n Omaha have had faith onougli lu the city's uturcs to line Its street * , even in the out- ylng additions , with substantial and com- 'ortublo homes , and the cable nd other street railway extensions ave made thcso homes accessible to the city. The suburban points on the licit line have grown wonderfully nnd yet the demand In creases and , as a matter of fact , thcro are but few vacant houses in desirable localities. There are. It Is true , a number of handsome 'late , newly crocUul , in several parts of the : ity , noticeably on Twentieth street , that arc , ns yet , untonnntcd , but good detached houses of from six to ton rooms , whcro tho' transportation facilities are good , II ml ready seekers. The fact that such houses are being uilt by ttio hundreds is ovidcnco suniciont hat there I * n demand for them. In March ivor four hundred building permits were issued , and up to date for the present month .ho superintendent has Issued permits for , ho construction of 4Kt buildings , principally cottages and ono and u-lialf nnd two-story dwellings. Flats are the first buildings to bo vacated. The average Omaha man wants i house without other occupants than ils own family * oven It ho does have .0 go out some distance to secure it. Comfortable cottages within u half hour's ride from thu postolllco can bo secured nt 'rom S13 to SIS per month , while $20 to .5)5 , vill rout a good seven lo tun room house. Tnls Is n reduction of perhaps 111 per cunt jvor last year's rates nnd considerably moro than that bver the rate of 18SC anil 1SS7 , vlion hundreds of men had their furniture stored in the warehouses of the city waiting oi houses to bo built for them.

Ileault of n Conference Iletwcon n Committee from Omnlm and the Company's Directors at Now York , The TcrmlniiB Question. My conversation to-dtiy Is a further statement of the history of the bridge nnd terminus of the Union Pnclflo rixll- wny In Omnlm.

Thomas L. Scott and not Mr. Ames waspresidcnt of the com pany. I now hnud you n copy of the pro ceedings of the executive committee in Now York , whore Omnlm nnd Douglas county were represented by the gentlemen - mon heretofore named , ns follows : "Tho following gentlemen ns committee - too on behalf of the city of Omnlm nnd county of Douglas npponrod before the committee : Alvin Saunders , ohnirmnn ; Dr. Gcorgo L.

"Aftor considerable discussion the parties agreed upon the following action by this company as iv full com promise und adjustment ot the differ ences existing between them : Resolved , That the president or vice president of the Union Pacific linilroad com pany is hereby authorized on the receipt of the fJ.-)0OOU ( two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ) of Douglas county bonds and the deed In fco for the now depot property m Omulm as agreed with Raid city , lo ugrco m \vntintr on behalf ot this company that it will maice up its regular freight and passen ger trains west bound at Omnbn , and that it will expend In improvements , depots , gen eral oillces und on said property sum that xhall not be less than ono hundred thousand dollars ( $100,000) ) and thai the principal shops of the company shall bo maintained in Omaha , and that all freight und passenger cars for the Iowa roads which they deliver to forward shall bo taken over said bridge ou the same terms an these of the Union Pa cific Railroad company , und bo returned without discriminutioii , preference or doluy "To the foregoing the committee for Omaha , and Douglas county pledged themselves to have carried out in good faith by tlio first of January , with the uiider.itniidiiig that if any legal difficulty existed against the delivery of the last fifty thousand dollars (8-50,00 ( ! ) ) bonds by reiison of non-coinpiotion of the bridiro at that date that then , und in that event the fifty thousand ( $50,000) ) dollars bonds should bo placed wfth John DulT as trustee for delivery to Union Pacific Railroad company on completion of the bridge for passage of trains. " ' 'J certify that the above is a correct copy. .Ion * JutT , Sou. Pro Tom. " This completes the whole record in respect to the final settlement between the people of this-city and the Union Pacific railway company on questions that liuvo boon discussed. Then came tlio still more troublesome question of the terminus of the railway. As I have heretofore said a good deal about that in the course of this history , I shall not attempt to burden the columns of THE BI-K with i.ny considerable statement , except that it involved a long conten tion iti which bud blood was created on all sides. Afatters drifted on until , finally , no decision having been reached , the Union Pacific company bointr all indo- cimou , Mr. Jay Gould came into control of the property of the company , mid with solo authority , in association witli other director * who were in con trol , to regulate all these mutters. It was finally agreed that nn appeal should ho taken to the courts to determine judicially whether the ter minus should be on the Omaha side oren on the Council Bluffs side of the river , uiiii led to litigation which was carried to the supreme court of the United States , in which the decision was against Omaha us tbo legal terminus tinder the location made by President Lincoln. Omaha was very badly injured by this controversy. The same uncertainty that had long held im back to a degree \ brooded over our interests , but under the contract with the company origin ally it decided to comply strictly with the legal mandates of the supreme court of the United States and at the same time hold the interests in Omaha to which it was pledged , vixheadquarters , shops and the practical terminus , which cover the whole case. I think I can Hufoly Hay that the prosperity of Omahiubogan with the contract that wns finally entered into under the Boston memorandum , which was drawn by Byron Rood , of this city , under the direction of General Mandor- ROII , as the attorney of the pcoplo , and is now of record , I believe , in our court. After many delays the Union Pacific railway company complied with Its con tract substantially oy building the depot wo now have. But the ono thing that was and is BO much desired by our peonlo has been denied us from that day to this , and that is the crossing of the Iowa trains ever the bridge into Omaha. Thib is partially done now by the starting of the Iowa sleepers from this side , and the Chicago & North western railway train , under the in fluence of the Burlington terminus in this city. But still we are waiting for the. greater result , and 1 am going to stop pIT short to-day by saying that the ofllciiil. announcement in Tins BKK of Thursday evening , from Mr. Cameron , that/the Burlington and Union Pacific companies had entered into a contract to build u million-dollar depot ii | Omaha , gives assurance that at last the consummation so long devoutly wished is to bo reached. I have no doubt thnt Omaha will do her entire duty , under the circum stances , and make good what her com mittees and prnss have boon paying for years , that she was ready to do her whole part In securing what is now promised to us , and which I believe wo shall realize if wo wisely use the oppor tunity thnt is given. I may say in this connection that I have known , for n year thnt Mr. Charles Francis Adams , president of the Union Pacific railway company , has boon in earnest in his desire to build this depot , and to provide In the structure for the accommodation of all eastern trains arriving at the terminus. Difficulties of no small magnitude have boon en countered , nmong other things want of confidence on the part of the directors In investments in our state , hut it IB dud to Mr. Adams to Bay that ho has boon persistent in his efforts to secure what now scorns to be assured. Our people should and our pcoplo will appreciate this , now thnt thefact , ig known and proven , and they will also not bo'filovr to award all oredlV'tof 'Vice President Ilolcomb and 'bur' old Union jPaoifio whcclhorsc , Thomas L. KtmbaV for tholr efforts to bring about these great facilities for the accommodation ot the railroad interests of our city. Of course many ot us would hnvo pre ferred to hnvo bad this structure built nt the foot of Itarnnnf street. Mr. Potter - tor took that subject tip on his first ar rival here nnd sought to find n way by which this or something nktn to It might ho done , but it Is believed by many thnt the stop nrovod impractic able nnd thnt nil ho did to revive the effort to built this depot wns directed to the present grounds whore It Is to bo built It Is duo to him to Bay thnt ho was friendly to the building of n sta tion for the accommodation of Town trains nnd used all his Influence to bring them into our qlty. lie died before ho could roach nny result on thnt subject. A committee consisting of Messrs. Kountzo , Millnrd , Yntos , llnmllton , Murphy and other gentlemen called on him , I remember , and hnd n very pleas ant conversation with him in regard to it , tolling him that our people were ready to co-oporato to any extent with their inlluonco or moans to accomplish that which wo had so long desired. This was followed up by the persistent - tent action of the committees of the board of trade and the Union club , under the load of Mr. Colpotzar nnd under the suggestions of Mr. Klmball , was particularly olTocllvo in pressing the matter upon the attention of Presi dent Adams in the long interval since ho decided not to undertake the work last year. But the actual work has been done bv Mr. Adams himself , Vice President Holcombnnd Mr. Kim ball in cordial co-oporntion. I hope and bo- liovu. without referring to any dead dogs in these long controversies ever our railroad interests , our people will como for ward * and helpfully meet this depot building proposition by granting all reasonable demands upon thorn.
