Prefer It to Ten Hour a Day Plan Owing to Saturday Night Hours. (Special to The Bullettn.) Hartford, May 12—Among those who were at the capital this afternqon in - attendance on the hearing before the committee on labor on the amend- ment to the law which limits the hours of labor for women and minors in this state to 68 per weck were Frank E. King, Charles T. Parsons and Otto B. Wulf of Norwich. Mr. King addressed the committee on behalf of the store- keepers of Norwich in support of the bill by which it is desided to amend the present law so that the 58 hour per week unit may be made the basis of the Jaw instead of 10 hours a day, as at present. He stated that the merchants of Norwlich were one with those of other places in the motion that they qught to be allowed to keep open later than would be possible under a 10 hour a day basis.on Saturday nights In order to malke {¢ possible for those who have no other time in which to_do thelr buying to, complete this. What they vished wa$s a change in the law which would make it possiblo for them tw keep open late Saturday nights if they shortened up the working hours other days in the week so as to come within the limit of 58 per week. The entire question is a very much involved one and it Is doubtful Is an: body thoroughly understands what is really sought. The Consumers’ league put in one bill which would make it illegal for any store to employ women or minors more than 10 hours in apy <ne day or more than 58 per week, and the storekeepers attempt now to have a_substitute take the place of this which covers the situation in about the way Mr, King desired it should be covered. Strong presentations of the different views on the gubject were made this afternoon at a largely attended hear- ing in the hall of the house of renre- sentatives. Several hotel keepers were present to oppose an amendment brought In by the merchants adding hotels, laundries and restaurants to the list covered by the law which was proposed in the endeavor to kill the whole proposition.
