MINERS' EIGHT HOURS ACT.
DEPUTATION WAITS ON HOME SECRETARY. LONDON, August 27. The Right Hon. H. Gladstone. Home Secretary, informed a deputation from the Miners' Federation of Britain that the clause in the Eight Hours'* Act allowing sixty extra hours to be worked in a year was not inserted jmerely to incase the number of working hours per day, but to help matters in times of pressure. The Minister added that he intended to administer the Act in the same spirit in which it was passed. He would investigate disputes submitted to him, and if it were found that the object of the Act was being infringed, he would put matters right.
