HEARING BEFORE THE Proposed 54 Hour Law For Women and Ci:ildren Also En-} counters Opposition—Comptroller Bradstreet Declares It Would Mean Only 48 Hours of Actual Work—Fred Holdsworth of Norwich Makes Reply to General Keeney. Hartford, Conn., April 15—The la- bor committee again sat to hear argu- ments for and against a further limit- ation of hours for women and children in_manufacturing and mercantile es- tablishments, in the house chamber, this afternoon nearly every seat be- ing filled and the speakers all being well received. The first bill called provides for a more adaquate staff of inspectors to enforce the labor; laws and to con- duct inspections under the present factory inspection office besides strengthening the hands of the state officials. To this bill there was no opposition and its provisions were urg- ed in the statements made that the in- spection force is not able to do the work which has devolved on the fac- tory inspector by reason of additional legislation to ameliorate the condi- tion of women and children. Ralph ©O. Wells, who represents associations of business men, said that merchants and manufacturers stand for an ade- quate force of inspectors. 54 Hour Week For Women and Minors. The labor bills_were taken up. James P. Woodruff spoke for one of the commission bills when in effect Wwould prevent a woman or minor from working after 9 p. m. in a mercantile establishment, from working for two establishments in_any one week and would compel a 54 hour week and a nine hour day. Mr. Wells opposed the bill, saying that the manufacturers oppose any Dill which establishes less than a 55 hour week on the general ground that it means the elimination of wo- men from industry. He opposed limit- ing the keeping open of mercantile establishments after 9 p. m. If as Mr. Woodruff had said that store women are subjected to the greatest dangers in walking home from the stores after 9 p. m. he fail- ed to see why they were in any sreat- er danger than those women who go out calling, to party or the theatre and return home after 9 p. m. If the bill had a clause in it prohibiting all ‘women from being on the street at 9 p. m., conditions would be equalized. Mr. Wells then cited the objections of- fered to the limitations of 54 hours in nine hours a day, for the reasom that merchants have to adjust their em- ployes’ hours to meet store conditions. A Disputed Point. Mr. Barnes, who favored the 54 hour bill said he was not surprised that merchants and manufacturers put up arguments against the bill but he was Burprised that they were trying to “kid” the committee by putting up ®such “bunk” as this. He claimed that the operation of the 54 hour law else- where did not put women out, nor did it decrease the output. To this latter statement decided objection was made by Mr. Wells, who said letters in the committee’s hands from man- ufacturers told of decreased output in proporticn to the decreased hours. Mr. Barnes said that the bill was aimed to meet conditions which exist, and which were shown of need of remedy at the hearings two years ago, in the workroom of mercantile estab- liskments. Would Lose Saturday Half Holiday. Charles Cheney, treasurer of Cheney Brothers, at Manchester declared for the 55 hour bill. He did mot believe & nine hour day is economy. It would mean the loss to workmen of their Saturday half holiday if the law was passed making the day nine hours. No Decrease of Product. Miss Wells, who represents the consumers’ league, spoke for the league bill for 54 hours a week for women and children. _ She claimed that the product of a 54 hour week would be no_different from that of a 58 hour week. Miss Wells, who has investigated ‘the subject, read from a statement which_she aiso fifed with the committee. She was agked many questions, inciuding one. by former Comptroller Bradstreet to the effect if she were aware that manufacturers would only get 48 hours in a 54 hour week actual labor from female em- ployes. Miss Wells could not under- stand this and Mr. Bradstreet said that every female employe requires half an hour mornings and half an Lour afternoons for _lavatory _pur- poses. To this Miss Wells repiied that under a 54 hour law the women would have relaxation they do not get in the B8 hour week. New England No Longer on Map. Mr. Bradstreet then declared: “Don’t forget another thing. New England is mo longer on the map. We have been forgotten; don’t hamper us any more.” ‘When he was interrupted as not hav- ing the floor. Mr. Bradstreet sat down with a reference to federal con- ditions. Miss Wells was against the #liding scale for men, women and children as this would mean the elim- ination of women from Industry. Fred Holdsworth of Norwich. W. R. Webster of Bridgeport ask- ed the committee not to jeopardize the weekly half holiday for working peo- ple by bringing in a straight nine hour & day bill. Fred Holdsworth of Nor- wich, representing textile workers, replied to arguments made at the pre- vious hearing. To General Keeney who had declared that such legisla- tion as this was “damable” Mr. Holds. worth_ said his statement was an in- teresting_relic of a bygone age and concluded by asking “Is Connecticut to be used 4s a private preserve for General Keeney?" Mr. Holdsworth also claimed that the petition against the bill which Mrs. Dyson had presented bearing 3,000 names, was secured by mis- representation ,to which statement Mrs. Dyson objected. $7 BARELY A LIVING WAGE. Half of Wage-Earning Women in Con- necticut Receive Less. Hartford, Conn., April 15.—The “fol lowing _important recommendatlons are made In the report of ihe special commission named by the leglslature COMMITTEE ON LABOR two years ago, to investigate the con- dition of wage-earning women and minors in this state: 1. That the hours of labor of wage- earning women and minors be shor ened and regulated. 2. That provision for the effective reporting and recording of occupation- al _diseases and accidents be made. | 3. That the labor of women and minors in certain occupations be pro- | hibited. | 4. That there be more stringent regulation of child labor, with espe- cial reference to night work, messen- ger_service and street trades, and to a shorter working day. 5. That more adequate provisions ! ‘e made for the comfort and health of Wage-earning women and minors in factories. 6. That a minimum wage commis sion be appointed. The report was presented today through the chairman of the commi sion, James P. Woodruff of Litchfield. The’ report says in part: “To have made a complete investi- gation of the conditions of women in all industries, would have required a much larger sum than the appro- priation of $5,000. The field of In- vestigation was therefore of noces- sity limited, and after ocareful con- sideration, was finally restricted to the { three industries emploving the largest number of Women in the state, tex- tiles, metal trades and corsets. Lim- ited investigation was also made of women in the rubber industry and in the repair and. alteration departments | of department stores. “Fifty factories were investizated in jed th- fourteen localitic Wage data, co directly from the payrolls, were g: ered for 9103 women and perso ang social data taken from employes themselves for 10,351 women.” | The commission says that investi- gation has shown that $7 is barely a living wage for a girl or a woman, Wwho must pay for food, laundry, lods- ing, clothing, carfares and medical and dental care.” A study of tables prepared by the commission -shows that in_the cotton industry 29.28 per cent. of the women employed earned less than $7; in silk 58.15 per cent. earned less ithan that: in metal the number falls to 48.99 per cent; in rubber to 49.43 per cent, while the earnings of 48.40 per cent .of all those employed in these industries fall be- low the $7 wage scale. “It is therefore evident,” savs the commission, “that practicaily one-half of the women empioyed in these fac tories earn less than a living wage. The report goes into careful detail concerning ventilation, toilet provi- sions, safeguards, etc. and ecriticism is made of conditions in many of the factories. FRIDAY SESSIONS. Question to Come Up in Senate To- _day—Attempt to Limit Debate. Hartford, Conn,, April 1 fore the senate adjourned this after- noon Senator Purcell moved that the | order of the day for 12.30 noon tomor- row be upon his motion that Friday sessions be held. It is expected that the upper branch will then declare its attitude as to putting in longer work- ing days for three days a week, or more days a week. this latter plan being generally opposed by members in the lower branch because it entalls 2dditional and, to many, heavy travel- ing expenses. Attempt to Limit Debate. In the house, on the other hand, a motion of Mr. Healey, the republican leader, to limit debate on measures to five minutes was voted down, although he pointed out that it had been cus- tomary in the closing days of previous sessions to pass a motion of this kind, Colonel Hall declared that Mr. Healey's | motion was in the interest of the lob- | by, while Mr. Wilson of Bridgeport | believed that the rule of the previous question was safeguard enough in de- bate. County Commissioners’ Bill. Both branches did a fair amount of business with only a little oratory, the senate sitting for over two hours on calendar matters alone, passing forty- three measures in concurrence with the house, supplying Governor Baldwin with work when the engrossed bills reached him. The senate declared by a party vote its adherence to the prin- | ciple of electing county commission- ers by the people, sending the bill baci | to the house without any amend- | ments. The democrats are generally expectant that the house will pass the original bill, as the amended bill went through by only a margin of one vots.

Horn; C. McHenry and Wood, formerly superintendent of Shoré Line division; Superinten- dent Benjamin R. Pollock and Laf- rence J. Carmalt the maintenance artment. The warrant for Presi- dent Mellen and Vice President M Henry were served in the courtroom at the conclusion of the hearing on the issuance of the warrants, both of- ficials having been present through the entire proceeding. The new writs of information against the other four of- ficials take the places of the one: originally granted and which were | withdrawn when a separate trial was granted them in the first hearing of the case last weelk. The issuing of the warrants for Mr. Mellen and Mr. McHenry was bitferly fought, but the court ruled that as it had always been the prac- ice of the state courts to issue such warrants on the request of state’s at- torneys, who, he said, were supposed to be fair in their dealngs and have a case, he did not see Why an excep- tion should be taken in this instance. A feature of the trial was an at- tempt made by Attorney Cummings for the defense to bring before the court an affidavit made by Vice Pres- ident Buckland. This was objected to by the state attorney on the ground that he could not cross mine Mr. Buckland and while it was sustained by the court, Judge Greene allowed Mr. Cummings to state its nature. It was to the effect that after the close of court last Tuesday State Attorney Judson sent a message to Mr. Mellen Mr. Buckland’s stenographer which was to the effect that if the attempt by counsel for the four offi- clals then before the court on_ bench. to have them tried sep 7 was not discontinued he would | warrants issued for President Mellen and Vice President McHenry.

Applies to All Aliens. The measure was drafted by a sub- committee of the judiciary committee as a substitute for bills pr troduced, all of which speci vided that “aliens ineligible to ship should not hold lands.” The com- mittee, however, proceeded on the the- ory that such a statute might be held in” violation of the treaty rights of Japanese subjects, and broadened the measure to include all aliens who had declared their intention of becom- citizens. Foreign Corporations Spared. In order mot to embarrass foreign corporations, the committee made the corporation clause of the bill apply only to “aliens not eligible to citizen- ship.” Several amendments were de- feated in quick order before Assem- blyman Johnson propos in the bill thrown out the “aliens not eligible to citizenship” clause.

Recent Tokio, April 15—The leading news- papers of Tokio, the Asahi, the Ko- kumin Shimsun and the Jijl Shimpo, which are usually conservative, have assumed an extremist attiture of the proposed alien land ownership legisla- tion in California. The Kokumin Shim- Dbun is almost violent, while the Asahi is pessimistic. The younger element among the pd- litical factions which incited the recent rioting have called a mass meeting for Thursday nevt. held in a building, which is 15,000.

Brussels, April 15.—Out of the wel- ter of contradictory and incomplete figures it s impossible tonight to more than approximate the total num- ber of workmen who have joined in the strike throughout Belgium for manhood suffrage. Independent esti- mates place the number between 250,- 000 and 300,000, although the sociai- ists, who are responsible for the movement, claim_ 400,000. Except in the indgstrial centers, the strike has had no apparent effect. The general public has not been in- convenienced and consequently is mnot impressed, and, as the strikers gen- erally maintain admirable discipline, they have not allenated the sympathies of the liberal capitalists who are con- tributing to_the fund.
