Opposition Objections Delay Canadian Modus Vivendi Bill
Ottawa April 18 The government bill to extend the modus vivendi for another year faced a second reading with vigorous debate. Liberals demand more information and note no fee is specified. Sir John Thompson says fees mirror last year. Newfoundland proposals to charge Canadian vessels are discussed as telegraphic talks with Britain and the U S continue. The bill is laid over for further consideration. In Kentucky a gunbattle near Harlan Court House leaves soldiers wounded as outlaws fortified in a barn resist arrest and reinforcements rush in.

Postoffice Clerks Face Eight Hour Work Day Debate
Postmaster General Wanamaker submits to the House committee his view on a bill by Representative Ketcham to set eight consecutive hours as a workday for clerks in all first through third class post offices and to pay overtime. He cites current averages of twelve hours daily and estimates cost increases totaling about 2.16 million dollars, rising to 2.38 million with 10 percent growth. He reports consultations with senior postmasters who consider the eight hour plan impracticable without wasteful spending and suggests credit for less than eight hours worked. Dolphs leakage report rejected by Senate 35 to 2. The session ends as auditors deem the measure a farce.
