Mt. Veron, ILL.,, March 14.-There was
fled today in the office Of the clerk Of
the supreme court an opinion in the
case of William Richie vs.. the People,
error from Cook county court. This was
suit TO test the coustitutionality of
what was known as the sweat shop or
eight hour law executed by the general
assembly Of 1888 The act provides for
the inspection of factories, sweat shops
etc One section Of the act makes it a
misdemeanor for a woman to be en-
ployed for more than eight hours in
was arrested and fined for working
female employees more than eight
hours a day, The eonstituuonaHty Of
the entire act was attacked. but the
supreme court holds that section FIVE
is void, viz:
Section 5-No female shall be en-
ployed in any factory or workshop
more than eight hours in any one day
or AZ hours in any one week"
The court holds that woman has
the same right as a man to make con-
tracts and that it is an infringement
upon her rights guaranteed by the con
stitution to say that she cannot work
as many hours in day as she may be
inclined TO.
as the general assembly is now in
session, section 5 viii probably be ee-
placed with one prohibiting the en-
ploynent of females under IS years
| more than eight hours in any one day
as the court indicated that such a
section would be legal. OF all the labor
I legislation Of recent years, this act Is
the only one which has been sustained
even in part by the supreme court
