GRACE DIES NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERAL ILABOR DEPARTMENT AKES 4TH REPORT Women's Burean Gives Statistics on Employment of Women Washington, Dee, 20,~The 10 day, the 66 hour week, and loln Tl?l‘l‘r: a living wage are conditions which prevall for women employed in indus- try in many sections of the country, according to the fourth annual report of the director of the Women's Bureau of the U, 8, Department of Labor, During the past year the bureau has made investigations of the wages, hours and conditions of work of more than 46,000 women in 77§ establishments in flve states: Ken- tucky, South Carolfan, Alabama, Ar- kansas and Missourl, In connection with these investigations the report states: “These state studies have shown that long hours of work and low wages are the rule rather than the exception for large numbers of | women, and that these conditions are so widespread as to constitute a very definite challenge to the constructive action of all sroups interested in these subjects.” The bureau emphasizes the fact that during its investigations it finds many employers who are running their plants under most ‘'modern efficient and satisfactory conditions, but be- cause these forward iooking employ- ers are in competition with others whose standards are not high, it be- comes particula®ly necessary to estab- lish legal minimum standards.’ In the South, “In Alabama more than one-half and in 8outh Carolina more than four- fifths of the women were scheduled for 10 hours or more a day and 55 hours or more a week. In Kentucky the 55-hour week was in force for 10 per cent, of the women surveyed, and another 10 per cent., were scheduled for more than 55 hours. TIn examin- ing the general trend of hours in the five states it is significant to see that Missouri, which had the most strict far the largest number of women whose scheduled hours were § a day and 48 a week, a standard far better than that set by law. 'The figures for Kentucky also show that the § hour day and 48-hour week is not a standard which can only be enforced by stringent legislation, but is one which is adoptetd voluntarily in many cases in the interests of efficiency and better administration.” Standards of wages were even lower For practically full time work half of the women in- vestigated made less tthan $11.60 in Kentucky, $11.95 in. South Carolina, $10 in Alabama, $13.55 in Arkansas and $13.90 in Missouri, Such stan- dards as these the Women's Bureau considers “so low as to be a serious menace to the health and well being §|of a very large number of wage- earning women.” It has also been found that “the situation is further complicated by the fact that many of those women were found to be sup- porting or contributing to the support of others.” Negro Women. During its investigations the Wom- en's Bureau has found negro women employed in many different industries, but after studying their occupations it has reached the conclusion that: “. . . on the whole, the industrial development of the south does not seem to have touched the negro wom- en to any great extent. Several more or less isolated instances of their em- ployment at new or unusual occupa- tions indicate, however, that it will not be long before this large group of potential industrial workers .will be used for general industrial purposes.” The report concludes with a discus sion of the blanket amendment to the constitution which has been proposed by some groups of women in order to remove all civil and legal disabilities i | from women. “There are many civil and legal matters in which women undoubtedly do not receive equitable treatment under the law, and which should be altered without delay, but there are also many fields in which special pro- € | tection is given to them which it would be a very serious matter to jeopardize. An amendment to the Federal Constitution removing all civil, legal and political irregularities and disabilities for woman would be so far-reaching in its effect, would be so uncertain in its operation and would involve such endless litigation that it cannot seem to be practicable for any purpose and is certainly fraught with great danger for women in industry.” ON WAY 1O DESK (Continued From First Page) tive matters which would be of bene- fit to the older men in the depart- ment, and for the past few months 'he worked hard on a charter re- vision amendment which would give the men the right to appeal from a dismissal by the police commission, and also for a change in the retire- ment ege from 30 to 25 years. Two years ago the charter re- vision committee failed to take action on the establishment of a pension fund by charter. It was mainly through the efforts of Captain Grace that it was taken up at the last ses- sion of the General Assembly, with the result that the local department now has dn excellent pension fund plan.

Tribute From Chief Hart. Chief William C. Hart was visibly affected by the loss of Captain Grace. In commenting on his death, he said: “I have been assoclated with Captain Grace in the police department for the past 15 years, and I always found him to be a consciencious and capa- ble official, During the time I was a supernumerary, a regular patrol- man and a sergeant, I found Captain Grace to be a splendid: superior to work under. “Since I have become chief of the New Britain police department, the advice and counsel of Captain Grace have proved invaluable, His passing is a great loss to the police depart- ment. I feel the great personal loss, particularly at this time, when as a new chief, his assistance has been sought on more than one occasion. I also know that the men in the de- partment will join with me in ‘the expression of sorrow and regret at his death.” Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods said, “The passing of Captain Grace is a great loss to the police department In my connection with him as prosecuting attorney, I have found his knowledge of police matters, was extensive and helpful. He was a man Who pos- sessed a keen sense of justice, and he was always considerate to the men under him. I sympathize with his family in his passing.” “Always Faithful'—Rawlings William J. Rawlings, former chief of the local department, who was as- gociated with the late captain during his term in the office, showed his feel- ings in the passing of the captain. He said, “I have known Captain Grace for mal ars, and was associated with him in the conduct of the New Britain poiice department. As the noxt in rank in the department, I placed explicit faith in his judgment, and 1 always found that it wi with the greatest care that he earried out his duties. Whenever I found it ne- cessary to leave the city, T never wor- ried about the manner in which the New Britain police department would be cared for with Captain Grace at the helm, His death means a great logs to the department, and to the city of New Dritain.” Competent Official—Klett Judge George W. Klett of the po- lice court, for many years prosecutor, and in’ that capacity in close contact with Captain Grace in police matters, wag shocked on learning of his death. He said, “Captain Grace, I always found to be reliable and trustworthy. prehensive in detail. He believed in giving the accused every benefit of doubt. He had valuable experience and knowledge in criminal matters. “Those assoclated with him in the police court, will always remember his cheery ‘good mornings’ He al- ways evinced a desire to aid those who were unfortunate. It was mainly through the work of Captain Grace that the department has its excellent police pension fund today. Two years ago, the charter revision committee failed to provide for a pension fund. “The policemen in this city, owe him a great debt of gratitude.” Anniversary of Mother’s Death It is just 10 years ago today that Captain Grace's mother died, and it was about the same hour on January 2, that Patrolman Willlam Grace, a brother of the captain, died under similar circumstances. About six i soled Oxfords dow. The newest thing. . He was a gentleman at all times, and a man imbued with much patience in listening to.the various complaints that come into the office. As a wit- ness in police court, he was positive and direct in his testimony, and he never left any question in the mind ot the judge. He had an_excellent| knowledge of the people of New Brit- ain, and his reports to the prosecut- P ing attorney were accurate and com- e the new crepe rubber weeks ago, Thomas Grace, Sr., father of the captaln died, and in probate court recently the captain was named administrator of the estate.
