GOMPF.RS AO.MfST PAAMA LAW
Objections Filed Aaralnst Abrogation
of Klaht-Honr Act.
WASHINGTON. Feb. .-Following the
action of congress in placing a rider on
the urgent deficiency hill, declaring that
the eight-hour law as applied to govern
ment work shall not be extended to alien
laborers employed in the construction of
the Panama canal. President Samuel Goni
pera of the American Federation of Labor
addressed a letter to the president pro
testing ngalnst such legislation and re
questing him to withhold his approval, of
the measure .-"o long as that provision was
contained in it. Mr. Gompers' letter, In
part,- follows:
Your attention is respectfully called to
the fnct that In this most unusual fashion,
that la. us a rider to the appropriation bill,
a principle that has been enunciated by
the federal government since INK by Joint
resolution, by proclamations of the presi
dents of the 1 lilted State", by enactment
Into law. is proposed to be swept aside,
without hearing of the parties particularly
in interest and at whose instance the first
and continued action of the government
was taken.
When the federal government by resolu
tion and law pinced the eight-hour law
upon the statute hooks It declared a funda
mental, economic principle, as well as
enacted a statute, and surely It' an eight
hour work day was deemed wise and eco
nomic In the comparative temperate cli
mate of the I'niteil Ulates it must appeal
with greater force that ll should apply
In a territory under a-burning sun and a
miasmatic atmosphere.
It is urged that inasmuch as the provi
sion referred to applies to alien laborers,
that, therefore. Americans need not concern
themselves. Thai, however, can have no
plac In our cons;derntl;n, for in truth
then the present eisjhl-hour law should not
apply to alten laborers who are now cm
ployed bv the government or on work per
formed for the government of the 1'nlted
States.
To enact Into law u provision applying
to all'-n worl.men thut is deemed unwise
and inhuman for Americans Is ai exhibi

JKFFERJ30N CITY, Mo.. Feb. IT.-The
supreme court held .oday that witnesses
were compelled to answer questions In the
Standard Oil hearing In St. Louis. This
decides the point on which 11. II. Rogers
declined to answer questions at the hear
ing in New York. The Bt. Louis hearing
waa discontinued a week ago until the
supreme court's decision on the point In
volved should bo handed down.
The court luys down the law that when
foreign corporations, as the oil companies
are, cited to be, come Into Missouri to do
business they Impliedly agree to obey the
laws of the state and that they must obey
the laws. Tlx? opinion also holds that the
companies cannot refuse to produce the
books and papers which authorised repre
sentatives of the state demand.
The ruling covers the questions that
wera before Judge Olldersloeve of the
New York supreme court regarding testi
mony of H. H. Rogers.
This case was brought to the supreme
court by Attorney General Hadley arter
officers of the Republic Oil company hud
refused to produce at the Inquiry before
Special Commissioner Anthony books and
papers of the company by which Hadley
expected to prove a trust agreement be
tween the Standard, Republic and Wntcrs
Pitrce oil companies.
Attorney General Hadley asked that tlm
court order the demanded books und pa
pers produced and witnesses to answer
nucstlons asked.
