SATURDAY EVENING,
JACKSON WARNS
STATE EMPLOYES
Says That State Will Not Tol
erate Any Overworking of
the Employes
Orders for enforcement of the
State women's and minors' employ
ment law in stores and factories dur
ing the week preceding Christmas and
to call upon all employers, especially
mercantile establishments, to see that
inflammable material is removed have
been issued to the inspectors of the
factory inspection bureau of the De
partment of Labor and Industry.
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."

COX WELL LECTURE JO-XIGHT
Dr. Hu.ssel H. Conwell, president, of
Temple University, will arrive in Har
risburg early this evening and will
deliver his famous $4,000,000 lecture,
"Acres of Diamonds." in tlie Technical
high school auditorium at 8 o'clock.
The lecture is to be Riven under the
direction of the Harrisburg Academy
and the boys of the school have been
very busy for the past week selling
tickets. In spite of the weather and
the unfortunate time of the year, a
good attendance is expected. Inas
much as the lecturer is no longer a
young man, it is very unlikely that
Harrisburg will have another oppor
tunity of hearing him. Headmaster
Brown, of the Academy, had peculiar
difficulty in obtaining Dr. Conwell for
Harrisburg and it was .necessary to
book him as far back as last March in
order to assure his presence here this
evening.
