Working Hours In GERMANY.

The hours of the German laborer are
very long, frequently exceeding fifteen
hours day, but there are certain regu-
lations in factories that are rigidly car
ried out in regard to women's work.;
AL factories where women are en-
ployed are registered, and only eighty
hours year overwork is allowed.
Children under thirteen cannot work
in factories, although the law is often
evaded by making them work at home.
Strange as 1t seems, the state is moro
merciful to the children than the par
ents; in some villages children three
years old are kept busy threading
needles. Thuringian watch-makers
keep their children working from Sat-
urday noon until Sunday morning at
two. After two hours sleep they must
work again until church time. 1888.
