SEVENTY-HOUR BILL FAVORED.

The Pharmaceutc Clerks Association. OF this
city met yesterday In the College OF Pharmacy
and discussed the proposed bill for shorter hours
for drug clerks. which will be introduced In the
next Legislature. Resolutions were adopted ad-
vocating the seventy-hou BILL which the clerks
have been supporting. This bill allows seventy
hours work a week and requires that the work each
day be consecutive. The association prefers this
TO the one advocated by the Druggists League for
Shorter Hours providing for sixty-six hours Of
work with the daily work not consecutive
The seventy-hour bill has been submitted 70
Governor Roosevelt and has been approved by him
with one exception. The bill provides that in time
OF epidemic the clerks may be worked overtime.
The Governor thinks this Is dangerous for the
public and that I'm times OF epidemic the clerks
should get rest at other times.
