q The unfinished business of yesterday
d being the continuation of the discussion
on the bill to regulate the hours of labor
for women and minors employed in cot
e ton factories was announced.
Mr.. Fuller, Of Durham, replied t.
:. some of the arguments used yesterday il
y opposition to the bill. Manufacturer
. at Durham only worked their employee
. ten hours. He said the limitation wa
g right. Mr.. Harris had especially re
. ferred to cotton factory labor as inju
:. rious to health as confning. There wa
y difference in the effects of differen
y kinds of labor. Strikes, he said, are du
to the neglect of legislation to regar'
. the demands of overworked labor. 1
L this state factories generally worked onl
eleven hours. 1t was an act of justic
- and humanity. This was not politics
matter. Nothing done under it to max
campaign thunder as some had intimated

trying to make political clap-trap.
