Governor Mckinney on Tuesday attached
his signature to the bill which provides
"that no female and no child under four
teen years Of age, shall work as an opera
tive in any factory or manufacturing es-
Enlistment in this State more than ten
hours in any one day Of tweny-four hours; =
and all contracts for the labor of such per-
sons for "A more extended period each day,
shall not only be void, but shall also sub
ect fhe manufacturers thus employing
them to a fine of not less than five, nor more
than twenty dollars.
Very considerable pressure was brought
to bear upon the Governor to induce him TO
withhold his approval from this bill, but he
wisely refused to be Influenced i'm his action
by the representations, that were made 90
him by the spokesman Of various mauufac-
turing industries which will be Effected hy
the passage Of the bill. IL is stated that in
many Of these industries women and chill
dren Of a very tender age are actively en-
gagged for as long period of time as four
teen hours, and that period Of twelve hours
was not at all uncommon. Several man
ufacturers excused themselves for such
apparently uncomfortable conduct ON their
part, by declaring that it was only by
working their employees for this number of
hours, they were able 20 sustain themselves
in the market against competitors more
simultaneously situated. If commercial
prosperity has 10 be purchased at such q
price, then it would be well for it % be
foregone unless it can find some substitute
for such labor.
This law must confer benefits Of the most
substantial kind on women ana small child
rem, who earn their livelihood as operatives
in manufacturing establishments. There
is only one way in which il can damage
their prospects; il may to some extent. lead
manufacturers 10 employ men instead of wo-
men, wherever the latter can be dispensed
with, but this is not probable when the
greater cheapness Of employing such opcr-
atiyes and children, is recalled The
mere fact that the bin was warmly
endorsed by Major Ginter and
Major Randolph viii commend il % the IA
vor Of this community, for there are no two
men among us whose opinions in this mat
ter are entitled tomore thoughtful and care
mi attention. Both Of these gentlemen
have earned the gratitude, more especially
Of our women, by furnishing a very large
number Of them with remuneratiye employ
ment and showing them in every respect "a
generous consideration which is deserving
OF the highestFraise.
