THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY JULY o 2 1902 UPHOLDS THE COMPROMISE Baprems Oourt Makes Its Ninth Ruling on @German Bavings Bank Affairs. SUSTAINS THE FEMALE LABOR LAW Statement of State Tre Shows Increase ment School Fund Since May 1. * Stuefer (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 1.—(Spectal.)—The su- preme court has affirmed the judgment of the district court of Douglas county in the case of the State against The German | Lambertson: Savings Bank of Omaha. The opinion is by Commissioner Oldham, Comtissioner Pound concurring in a separate opinion. It Is| held that the evidence does not show any abuse of discretion of the trial court in approving the compromise of doubtful clalms with certaln stockholders of the tnstitution. | This is the ninth time the case has been | reviawed in the supreme court, either for rellef from some order, judgment or find- ing of the district court of Douglas county | in closing up the affairs of the German Savings bank or for mandate to compel the judge to settle bills of exceptions or to approve bonds. On July 23, 1898, Thomas H. McCague was appointed recelver of the savings bank and after much litigation succeeded In the early part of 1901 in dis- posing of the as From the proceeds of the sale of these assets a dividend of 33 per cent was paid to the depositors and on May 6 the court found that all as- | sets of the bank had’ been exhausted aud | that there had been about $300,000 due fo depositors when the bank failed and that | after applying the proceeds of the sale ot | the assets there still remained due the de- positors about $200,000. The court found that there had been subscribed and issued of the capital stock of the savings bank $600,000, divided into 5000 shares of the par value of $100 each’ It also found that there was no way left to pay all the debts except by collecting the liabilities due from stockholders and ordered the recelver to bring sult agalnst the stockholders for their unpald subscriptions of stock, as well as for their double lability. Concerning these orders and findings of the district court there ia no complaint. Shortly after sult had been ordered to be lnstituted againat the stockholders a proposition of compromise was made by certain stock- holders to the receiver, in which they pro- posed to pay in round numbers $103,000 in settloment of their liabilities. The re- celver recommended that the compromise be accepted. Sustains Female Labor Law. Th court sustains the female labor law. The case Involving the constitutionality of | this law w appealed from Douglas county, where the proprietor of the Non- | pareil Steam Laundry was convicted and | fined for violating the provisions of the act. The opinion is by Judge Barnes. The syllabus of the opinion follows: The act of the legislature March 31, 18%, “To regulate and limit the hours of 'employment of females in manu- facturing, mechanical and mercantile es- | ings, approved | tablishments, hotels and restaurants, to| ‘ovide for its enforcement and a penalty For"its violation, contains but ‘one ub- t, and in its terms is no broader than ts_title, in which its subject is clearly ex- pressed. Buch a law does not amend the act of 1883, to protect the health of females em- ‘es in stores, offices and schools. It Is t complete In itself and is not re- pul t to the provisions of section 11 of urticle 11l of the constitution. The law as expressed therein has a uni- eneral application to all women oyod in the establishments described ~and 18 ot class legisiation within the meaning of section 15, article iii, of the constitution. The act in effect is only a fair and rea- sonable exercise of the police power. It does not deprive any citizen of his property or the reasonable use thereof without due of law; it does not prohibit the right of contract. It merely refulnkl the same in a reasonable manner. It is there- fore not in conflict with the constitution and is in all things valid, Following are the vital sections of the law: Section 1. That no female shall be em- ployed in any manufacturing, mechanical or mercantile establishments, hotel or res- taurant in this state more than sixty hours during any one week, and that ten hours shall constitute a day's labor. The hours of each day may be so arranged as to permit the employment of such females at_any time from 6 o'clock a. m. o'clock p. m. but in no case shail such gmployment éxceed ten hours In any one y. Sec. 2. Every such employer shall post In & consplcuous place, in every room where such females are employed, a printed no- tice stating the number of hours' work re- quired of them each day of the week, the hours of commencing and stopping such work mnd the hours when the time or times allowed for dinner or for other meal begins and ends. Printed forms of suc notice shall be ‘turnished by the deputy labor commissioner and the form of suci gotice approved by the attorney general of h e. Bec. 3. Every such employer in such establishment shall provide suitable seats for the females so employed and shall rmit the use of such seats by them when hey are not necessarily engaged in the actlve duties for which they are em- ployed, Sec. 4. Any employer, overseer, superi tendent or other agents of such employer who shall violate any of the provisions of this act shall be fined for each offense an sum not lese than &0 nor more than and it is hereby made the duty of the de uty labor commissioner to enforce the pro- visions of this act; provided, however, that nothing in this act shall be construed to prevent any other person from enforcing its provisione. Wards of the State. In the opinion Commissioner Barnes says Women and chiidren have always, to & rtain extent, been wards of the state. Vomen in recent years have been partly gutncipated trom ‘thelr common law dis- tlities; they now have a limited right to contract; they may own property, real and personal, in their own right and may en- gase in business on their own account. but ey are governed and can take no part in unicipal affairs. They are unable y reason of their physics limitations 1o endure the same hours of exhaustive labor as may be endured by adult males; certain kinds of work which may be per- formed by men without injury to thelr ealth would wreck the constitutions and destroy the health of women, and render them Incapable of bearing thelr share of the burdens of the family and the home. The state must be accorded the right to guard and protect women as a class against such a condition and the law in question, to that extent, conserves the public health and welfare. Of the many vocations in this country comparatively few are open to women: their field for remunerative labor s restricted; competition for places therein is necessarily great. The desire for place d In many instances the necessity of ob- {aining employment would subject them to hardships and exactions which they would not otherwise endure.

LOW TEMPERATURE DELAYS RIPENING Corm Grows Very Little for the Same Rea t Plant is in & Healthy Conditie; in No Pres- ent Da: LINCOLN, July 1—(Special.)—United States Department of Agricuiture, climatie and crop bulletin of the weather bureau. Nebraska eection, for the week ending June 30, 1902 The past week has been cold and wet; the dally mean temperature has averaged 12 degrees below normal in the eastern counties and 8 degrees below normal In western. The rainfall exceeded an inch in most parts of the state, except the northern counties, where it was slightly less than an fnch. The rainfall was heaviest in the southeastern counties, where it ranged from two to slightly more than four inches. The cold, wet weather has caused winter wheat to ripen slowly and has delayed harvesting; considerable wheat, however, was cut the past week and the heavy rains seem to have had little injurious effect upon the wheat crop. Oats are a very rank growth, aro lodging some and are ripening in the southern counties. Corn has grown very slowly because of the low temperature; the fields are generally clear of weeds and the plant in good healthy condition, and although a little small, is being lald by in southern counties.
