The hall of the House was crowded this
afternoon by people to hear what the
manufacturers had to say about the
proposed Law prohibiting the employment
of women as minors in manufacturing
establishments sfor more than ffty-four
hours o week. Other committees excep-
ting the fish and game and the agrioul-
tural adjourned early to listen sto- the
hearing.
The case for the petitioners was con-
Quoted by I. s. Cahill of Biddcford. A.
E. Tinkey of Lewiston, president of the
Maine Branch American Federation of
Labor, said that fifty -four hour sched-
ule had been adopted In some trades and
that employers as well as employees liked
the system.
Benjamin Cleaves of Biddeford said
that the petitioners did not come before
the committee to antaRonize any mill in
terests but that it was thoroughly be-
lieved by them that a flfty.four hour law
wouldsbe very beneficial to the corpora
tions. He said that it was not the fault
OF the manufacturers that the air in the
mills was not as good.as it is outside or
that Gods sunlight DOES not 60 there
freely but-thatsit was no doubt known to
the committee that neither they or the
speaker would like to spend their time
in the mills to say nothing of being
busily employed all of the time.
Mr.. Cleaves contrasted the life Of the
farmer and the mill hand.
W. f. Woodruff, representative of the
lewiston and Auburn Central La Dor
Union said his wife was made an In
valid by work in the mills. He men,
toned the fact that othor states includ-
ing Massachusetts had shorter working
days than Maine.
Hon. William a. Looney of Portland,
who represented the mule spinners of
Lewiston, said that the House members
who votsd for and got ON record in favor
of the 10-hour bill, went into the Senate
and urged the members of that body to
vote against ii. Mr.. Looney advanced
the argument that the bill would dis
oriIninate against women by stating that
such law invariably affected men
much as women.
Mr.. Looney read very strong agru-
ment made by the late Mr.. Blaine in IA
vor of the 10-hour law.
L. Q. Cornish appeared for the manu-.
faoturers he said that the only state
having law providing for less than 10
hours labor day is Massachusetts,.
j. Manchester Haynes. one of the d.
rectors of the Edwards Manufacturing
company said that the operatives of the
Edwards company did not oppose the bill
but that they did not wish it as much as
represented. He invited the petitioners
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1897-02-19

of the truth of what he said He ther
went on to say that as he understood the
present bill, the only thing it contem-
plated was to make weeks work of 81
| instead of go hours.
| Mr.. Looney at this point announced
that the mule spinners of Lewiston asked
only that the, working week BIZ made
| 50 hours' long.
MIR. Haynes said he did not believe the
state of Maine could afford to lead the
movement i'll favor of shorter work.
ing week. He said that the reduc-
ton proposed meant reduction OF five
weeks year. He said 81 hour law
would reduce the output of the Edwards
company one-fifth. The speaker then
said that such a law as the one proposed
would discourage CAPT tai which might
come to Maine under favo rable circum-
stances.
Mr.. Arthur of the Pepperill and La
COMA mills of Biddeford, spoke.
In answer to Mr. Cahill the witness
said that his mills hai not besn running
Sd hours a week on an average during
the last year. but that he would like
to have them. He thought that a ma
jority of his employees would like to
work 10 no urs u day.
Mr.. ON ell of the committee asked Mr..
Macarthur if everyone Of his oversse1s
was arrested for breaking the child labor
law, and on getting an affirmative an
swer Mr.. O'Neil asked if the superinten-
dent of the mill went or the overseers'
bond, and Mr.. Macarthur said not to his
knowledge. Hs said that the overseer
continued in the employ of the compa-
ny.
William D. Pennell of Lewiston gave
an account of the growth of the cotton
manufacturing industry Ia the South,
calling particular attention to the low
wages paid there. MIR. Pennell said in
answer to Mr.. Cahill that he did not
vote against the 1Q-hour law in the Sen
ate In 1855.
j. A. Walsh, agent OF the Lewiston
Bleaohsry and Dye Works, said Their e
was never such an abundance of labor
in LIE wiston as there is now and that
his operatives did not want reduction
of the weeks work.
This little smoke talk was adjourned
to 80 p. NJ. and few minutes after
that hour the argument was resumed.
The mill agents said that girls were not
employed because they could do the work
eren better than women and that girls
of Is years were not hired cheaper than
6 iris of IS.
Representative F. d. Winslow of Port
land said that his business brought him
into contact with cotton and wooden
and shoe manufacturers. He spoke Of
the large amount of capital going into
the Southern States. He said it was ex-
planned by the fact that labor was no
restricted by legislation in the South
and that further law making would drive
the textile industry out of New Eng
land.
Lawyer Morrill, of Auburn opened for
the shoe manufacturers of that city and
called on Ara Cushman of Auburn, who
opposed the law.
Lawyer Wallace White of Lewiston
made the closing argument for the op-
position and Hr. Cahill for the petition
ers.
There is report current about the
capital that President Harris Of the State
College has pledged majority Of the
members Of both branches to vote for the

Calumet, Mich.

At the last regular meeting of Divjs-
ion No. 2, A. o. H., it was decided to
lower the initiation fee to 81 for a
period of six months, in order, if pos
sible, to induce number of young
men hereabouts to join our ranks. The
division at present consists of about 1886
members, but there should be no reason:
with the number of young Irish-Ameri-
cans growing UP in Calumet and vicin-
ity, why we cannot increase this to $50.
Two gentlemen were also appointed
at our last meeting to canvass each Sec
ton of the city and interview non-men-
bers in their respective districts, in
forming them of the advantages to be
gained by becoming members of the
noble order.
County President James Kelley stated
that he would give History of Ire

bringing in the largest number of new
members before Jan. 1, 1898. President
Patrick D. Sullivan also stated that he
would give SIS, or it's equivalent, to the

number. Now, brothers, work and show
that you have officers of whom you are
proud and whom you appreciate.
