SAME RIGHTS AS Man
WOMEN MAY WORK AS MANY HOURS
AS THEY CHOOSE.
Declared Unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court of the State.

MOUNT VERNON, ILL.,, March 14.-There
was filed to-day in the office of the clerk of
the Supreme Court an opinion in the case
of William Richie VS.. the People of Cook
County. This suit to test the con-
stitutionality of what is known as the
sweat-shop. or eight-hour law, executed by
the General Assembly of 1893. The act pro-
vided for the appointment of inspectors
and for the inspection of factories, sweat
shops, etc. One section of the act made it
a misdemeanor for a woman to be en-
ployeG for more than eight hours in any one
day. The bill also appropriated $4,000 for
salaries of inspectors. R;tchie with eight,
others, was arrested and fined for working
female employees more than eight hours
day and prosecuted. The constitutonaity
OF the entire act was attacked, but the
Supreme Court holds that but two sections
are void, namely: Section 5, which reads:
NO female shall be employed in any fac
tory or workshop more than eight hours in
and one day, or forty-eight hours in any
one week" The court holds that woman
has the same rights man to make con-
tracts, and that it is an infringement ON
her rights guaranteed by the Constitution to
say that she cannot work as many hours In
day as she may be inclined to- The right
of two persons, with the ability to contract,
upon any lawful subject, cannot be abridged
Dy any legislative enactment. Inc police
power of the State does not extend that far.
The court adds that this opinion Is not to
imply that the legislation would be invalid
if is was limited to females who are minors.
The other section held invalid Is the para
graph of the act which appropriates $50
900 for the salaries of the inspectors. The
Court holds that the salaries of all State
officers must be included in an appropria-
ton bill and all other subjects excluded.
and that the factory inspectors are officers
of the State. AS the General Assembly is
now in session. Section 8 Will probably be
replaced with one prohibiting the employ
ment of females under eighteen years more
than eight hours day, as the court has in
dicated that such a section would be legal.
The cases are reversed and rema .ded to the
Criminal Court of Cook County, with direc-
tons to dismiss the prosecution. OF all the
labor legislation of recent years the act is
the only one which has been sustained even
in part by the Supreme Court.

pants, with the corpse. two stoves in which
fires were burning. and the furniture of the

DENVER, Col, March 14--Czovernor Nc
1ntyre's advices from Walsenburg to-day
are to the effect that all is quiet and that
the sheriff does not anticipate any further
trouble. The Governor does not think any
international question viii arise over the
trouble although he will assist the repre-
sentatives of the Italian government in
every way to get at the truth of the mat
ter. He stated to-day that since the of
hcials of the county had extended to the
Italians the same degree of protection they
would have accorded to Americans, no COM
plant of treaty violations could arise. The
killing of DEPUTY Sheriff Welsby at the
time the attack was made on the prisoners
will also in some degree exonerate the Of
ficials from any charge of inadequate pro-
lection which might be made by the Italian
government
DR.. Cuneo, acting Italian consul started
for Walsenburg tonight in compliance with
instructions from Baron Fava Italian en-
bassador. DR.. Cuneo received the follow
ing telegram from Walsenburg to-day: 1.-THE

Cannot Pay the Scale.
PITTSBURG, March 1.-THE strike of the
miners of the Pittsburg district is but one
week old to-day and there are nearly two
thirds of the miners of the district at work
at union rates-69 cents per ton. The strik-
ers consider the fight practically won, but
they may yet bump up against some adj
verse circumstances in the persons of OBJ
stinate railroad operators The river oper
ators have conceded the demands of the
miners and there has been general re-
sumption of work at all river mines. All
the river craft are being loaded and as long
as this rush continues there will be work
not only for the full number of river min
ers, but also for. large number of extra
men from the railroad mines On the other
hand the railroad operators refuse to pay
more than SIS cents per ton and the MAORI
ty of their mines are idle They claim that
they are compelled to refuse orders because
they cannot fill them at the price quoted by
competitors and pay the price demanded
