This document presents the hearings before the House Labor Committee regarding H.R. 11651, a bill proposing an eight-hour workday for laborers and mechanics employed on government projects. Held in May 1906, these hearings provide insight into the legislative considerations and societal debates surrounding labor conditions in the early 20th century United States. The testimonies and discussions reflect concerns about fair wages, working hours, and the government’s role in setting labor standards. 'H.R. 11651--Eight Hours for Laborers On Government Work' offers a valuable primary source for understanding the historical context of labor legislation and the evolving relationship between the government, workers, and contractors. The record of these hearings illuminates the challenges and compromises involved in shaping labor policy during a period of significant industrial expansion and social reform.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
