Those Interested in Passage of

Harrlnburc, March 19 The strong
Voice, of tha women in industry shown
at yesterday's hearing on the labor law
nmendment fKIng an eight-hour dny for
Pennsylvania's women workers has im
pressed Itself upon the Senate committee
having the bill in hand
Xever before hae women appeared in
auch strength or spoken so forcibly in
favor of a bill affecting their lnteicrt
In Pennsylvania. In other years the
part of the women in industry was
taken by the men of the labor wot Id
-with the assistance of scattered women s
organizations.
But the hearing ester-day brought to
the Senate caucus more than 100 women
representing thourands of workers,
many of them new in Industry becauso
of the war. And these women In their
appeal to the Senators showed that thev
Knew what they wanted and their de
tetmlnation to get that thing
There was the little woman in the
sombre brown dress who but two years
ago )was a clerk in a department store
otllce. AVar has opened a new life for
her. She pulled off 1 er kahkl overalls
to come to Harrlsburg jesterday to fight
that other Pennsylvania, women can get
the eight-hour day that she now lia. ;
She was Anna Saueillne. a car (.leaner
for the Pennslanla Itallroad .She hP- i
peared before the committee to toll them
that she and the women car workers are
doing as much work In eight hours now
an they formerly did in ten hours
Cleans Two Cars n Daj-
"Wo scrub and clean two cars a da . '
she Bald. "Until the government took
over the ralIro,idn we scrubbed two cars '
in a ten-hour day Our work is done as
well, and ct those two houis make all
the difference In the world In my life
Under a ten-hour day 1 had to get up ,
at 4.30 cerj morning so as to readi i
the yards at 7 I got home just about
8 o'clock in the evening, r hae two i
hours a da to live now, and I work just
as much."
Then there were the two white haired
old ladles who were presented to the
committee as strikers. They looked like
mwnrlinnllt.rc Vittt i-ittiti r n-aunrn f-t..rr1
grandmothers, but quite careworn grand
mothers. They were there to tell the
committeo that they will not work nny
more a ten-hour da In the woolen mills,
where for years they hae labored
Mrs. Marj Foster, one of them Is now
out on strike "I won't go back to work
In the mills again until we have an
eight-hour day That is what we have
been striking for, and we will get it.
Why cannot the state help us."
Sitting near her at the hearing was
a contrasting plpctpure. A pretty
young girl with the bloom of eighteen on
her cheeks shaded by the new- wide
brimmed hat. She is a cigar factory
vorKer.
-" "Why do we want an eight-hour da "
she queried. "Don't you think we girls
who work long hours in the odor of
tobacco should hae shorter hours. We
aro on our feet all day long Inhaling
the odor of tobacco. It is not good for
lis.. And a girl has so many things
tp do at home. I want to go to night
school, but how can I when I get home
late and am dead tired With an clght
liour day things I hae been hoping for
will b- possible
Not Stronger Than Men
"What the women of America want
they will get," Mrs. Florence Kellev
told the Senators. "And from all over
tho Btate women are sending their de
;Amand that these more humane hours be

glyen women workers. Men in thou
sands of factories and other emploj -ments
work but eight hours. Are women
stronger that they must be at the mercy
of long hours of industrj '
.Across the caucus room from these
vvomen appealing for better conditions
of living, which they contend their work
In tho war entitles them to, was the
gallery of opponents, all of them men.
Some of them expressed their humani
tarian sympathies with what the women
were contending for, but they protested
that It will cost them more money to
run business if shorter hours are given.
A Pittsburgh merchant made the wo
men laugh when he proposed operating
the stores of his city In such a way
It the short-hour day goes through that
the. women will have no work in the
evening so late thai they will be unable
to go to dances or moving picture shows.
Benatof TvlcConnell. chairman of the
Judiciary Special Committee which has
the bill, was unable to predict today
when the committee -lym act on it
There la a possibility that it wll be re
ported out next week.
To Keep Tab on Illll
A representative of the Women's
Trade Union League will go to llarrls
lourK next week to watch tha progress
of the women's eight-hour bl'l, which
was argued yesterday before the Senate
, 'Judiciary Special Committee.
