THE EIGHT HOURS BILL.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, — I am eerry to see no mention made of the re-introduction of the Eight Hours Bill which was passe! the session before last. You are, perhaps, not aware that many are working in this city often fourteen hours a day, and from sixteen to eighteen hours on the Saturday. Is the Eight Hours Bill to ba dropped altogether? Now is the time to get the Bill forced through the Upper House, but it will not bo done unless the people demand it. Every trade should sand up a petition insisting that eight hour.-! should be a legal clay, and that there should bo no loophole made by which employes could he made to contract themselves outside tho Bill.—l am, &0., SHORTER HOURS.
