I ommisstoner John Price Jackson, who issued the order, appears to think that some women may be overworked. In the course of an interview issued on the subject to-day he said: \\ omen and minor workers must be protected against the harmful ol'- iects of overwork nt this season of the year," declared Commissioner Jackson to-day. "The efforts of this department will be to co-operate with proprietors of stores and factories by pointing out to them the requirements of the labor laws. Our aim shall be t0 .,. Prevent overwork. Prosecutions will be instituted only when violations are discovered. 'ln the larger cities and towns the full corps ot inspectors for those dis tricts have been assigned to investi gate the conditions incident to the C hristinas rush. Those inspectors will explain to the heads of establishments the. requirements of the new child labor law which goes into effect Janu ary 1. The labor laws must not be violated after the rush of thf> Ivoiidav season by merchants taking the an nual inventory and rearranging theiv stock for normal selling conditions. 'W omen may not be employed more than six days a week, 54 hours a week, or more lhan 10 hours in any one day. If women are employed longer hours the law is violated whether the store is open and the clerks are waiting on customers or if the doors are closed and the clerks are engaged in taking the 'after holiday' inventory. "Girls under twenty-one years of age may not be employed in stores or factories after 9 o'clock at night nor before 6 o'clock in the morning. When an establishment is closed for a legal holiday, females may be employed, during such week, two hours a day overtime for three days but the work ing hours for the week must not ex ceed 54. "After January 1. child workers be tween the ages of 14 and 16 may not work more than 51 hours per week and 8 hours of that time must be spent in continuation schools. Such children may not be employed later than 8 o'clock at night or before 6 o'clock in the morning, nor may they be employed more than 9 hours in any one day. "The general public is requested to co-operate with the department in this work and to notify the Department of Labor and Industry of specific viola tions of the law."
