Sinopsis

Excerpt from An Argument for an Eight-Hour Law

It will be Observed that this proposed statute is in some respects quite radical, and in others very conservative.

It is radical in that it does not stop, as such statutes usually do, with declaring that a given number of hours shall constitute a day's labor, leaving a man to perform as many days' labor as he chooses during each twenty-four hours, but it goes to the root Of the matter and declares that such employment is contrary to the social and economic polity of the State and shall be altogether unlawful. And further, it lays its restrictions and imposes its penalties alike upon the employer and the employed. It would be as unlawful to work under the prohibited conditions as it would be to employ others to work.
