ITS DESTRUCTIVE EFFECT.

A fact which the authors of the
compulsory eight-hour law seem to
have entirely overlooked is the man-
ner in which it destroys vested
rights brought i into existence under
the prior law. [a this respect a
ftadical difference exists between

the building trades, for instance,
aad on mining property. If the
warpenters, bricklayers and masons
declare that they will only work
tight hours in future, instead of

sine or ten hours, that action does stincts  w.

net affect buildings already existing,
wut simply increases the cost of
Buildings erected under the new
tate. Yo this extent it benefits the

te of exi ting building for it
veducés the power of new buildings
to compete for tenante, by reduc-
‘ing the margin of profit on the ia.
vostment.

Ia the case of the purchase of a
mine, ‘however, the price is based
on the capacity of the property to
earn a profit. ‘This is arrived at by
calculation, after careful measure-
‘ment, of the amount of ore blocked
out, the value it containa, the cont
‘@flabor and machinery to extract
that ore and the freight and treat.
wrent charges upon it. The princi-
pal element is the labor cost, expe:
rience having justified the assump-
tion that each man’s labor for one
‘hour will accomplish: a certain re.
sult in the way of production. Un-
der the tén-hour system,- the men
worked ten hours by day and nine
by sight, making 19 hours: in the
24. The purchase price of the mines
bought under that law was ‘there- |;
fore based on the fact that 19 units

day's wages. |The new law allows
enly 16 unitsfor the same wages.

‘teenths the earning capacity of the

of one-fifth more, as the champions
of the eight-hour law have claimed.
