This Is the second nppeal of working women to the Pennsylvania Legislature, for the enactment of the eight-hour law, since war-tlm inHiicin, .....Hi. .I... l.,.j ;..: lnd"T established beyond , wuuut or question tne need and wisdom of such a limitation. Tomorrow there will go to Harrisburg women representing the following trades and occupations: Dressmakers, cigarette makers, hosiery workers, cloak and suit finishers, printers, waist makers, woolen arn workers, waitresses, millinery and hat makers, bookbinders, railroad-car workers nnd -machinists among whom thero are now many women. Each worker vrlll represent her own trade union. In addition, representatives will i attend tho hearing from the east central field district of the National Y. W C. A . the Consumers' Leagues of Eastern and Western Pennsylvania and tho National Consumers' League, the Pcnnsjlvanla League of Women Workers, nnd many friends of the eight-hour movement. In cluding employers and manufacturers Tt Is now six jears since the Legisla ture enacted the present law limiting the hours of work for women to a ten a day and flfty.four a week At that time, the friends of the measure nnd the members of the 1913 Legislature clearly under stood that ten hours was accepted only as a transition to the elcht-hour day: In fact, an eight-hour measure which had already been prepared was changed I by Its proponents to allow a ten-hour day until the Industries affected had had time to readjust their coi.dltlons In tho Intervening years many Indus trpes In Pennsjlvanla and many Indi vidual employers have voluntarily or through trade-union agreements, adopt ed eight hours as a more humane and efficient schedule. The organized gar ment trades, with a larger number of women emploves than any other Indus try In PennsIvanla except textiles, work on a basis of forty-four tn forty eight hours a week; the same is true of the printing and bindery workers Hat and millinery workers have a fortv -nine-hour week; retail store emploes are practically all on on eight-hour sched ule or less. Machinists have the eight hour dny. TrcEe recent changes Inten sify the need of an eight-hour day by lnvv both as an net of Justice to the em ployers In these trades and as a measure of health and happiness to the less for tunate women and girls who work In less progressive Industries Conditions In Textile Indnstry The one Important Industry In Penn sylvania which has, as a rule, continued to tnao advantage or the full ftfly-four hours permitted by law Is the- textile, This, moreover, Is an Industry which, be-' cause of many conditions of employment, i should shorten Its hourB of work. Thej National Consumers' League Is nbjut ti publish a report, Just completed, or the' work of women and girls In one branch of textile manufacture In Phlladilphla,1 viz. shoddy, woolen arn and waste mills. A study of seventy-three mills. In which nearly 4000 mlrls and more than 4000 men were cmplojed, was made dur ing tho past autumn both before and after the armistice was signed Its find ings point consplcuouslj to two conclu-' sions: One, that there are very terl-1 ous health hazards In these ml.lH, duo to dust especially, but also to the heat nnd humidity, the constant standing, and the strain of tending very heavy machines anil lifting heavy weights .a great part' of Vvhlch ore clearly preventable, the other that a shorter work day than the ( ten hours usually required by employers In this Industry U Indispensnble ta the conservation of tnr health of the women nnd girls employed, even after the oc cupational hazards have been reduced to n minimum. The underlying reasons for the eight-' hour day for women are so well known by this time that it scarcely seems necessary to go Into detail In the vear 1919. In the four years which have elapsed since the United States Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Cnllfornla eight-hour law, experience gathered under the stress and Btrain of, war-time production has demonstrated tho wisdom of that decision. Fells Frankfurter, chief of the war Inbor poll-1 cles board during our participation In the wnr, discussing early court decisions, on tho limitation of hours In the Har-, vnrd Law Review, said: "The courts decided these lues on theories, on ah-1 struct assumptions, because scientific' data were not available rjqtj all this time scientific dnta had been! accumulating Organized obsetvatlon.l Investigation and experimentation pro duced facts, and telence could nt last speak with rational If tentntlve author-1 lty. There was a growing body of the world's experience and the validated opinions of those competent to have opinions. It became Increasingly demonstrable what the effect of modern Industry on human beings was and what tho reasonable likelihood to society of the effects of fixing certain minimum standards of life." Army Orders Cited On this basis of actual experience, evidence In behalf of the eight-hour day has accumulated since tho Pennsylvania Legislature last sat In session. In No vember, 1917, the chief of ordnance of tho United States army Issued the fol lowing statement under General Orders No. 13: "It might be expected that an Individual working ten hours a day In stead of eight would turn out more goods. He can and doubtless will for tho first few days. But experience shows: that In a few weeks or a few months the output will bo the itame, or even less than It was during the shorter Gentlemen" AWordWithYou About Shaving I 'HENvoubuv a Safety Ka- :or,ouyacUc if'Cutlcura Spap and 'shave the Cti. ticuYa vfay, the healthy upo'date way.
