WOMEN WORKERS IN GERMANY.
Protest Against Shortening Their
Hours Of Labor
Their

The German Society for Social Reform
has petitioned the federal legislature of
Germany to pass act to regulate the
working time of females over sixteen years
of age who work in factories or industrial
establishments. The petition asks:
That the present maximum day of eleven
hours be reduced to ten hours for such en-
pIoyes, and to nine hours on days pre-
ceding Sundays or holidays.
That where the authorities permit over
time, the work shall not exceed twelve
hours a day and on Saturdays not over
nine hours, and should stop by $50 pm
That the dinner pause at noon be extend
ed to one and half hours. the shortening
of this pause to be allowed by the pubic
authorities only after they have consulted
the female employees upon the subject.
That women be not allowed to work In
factories or similar occupations until SIX
weeks after confinement. nor during the
fortnight following the six weeks. un-ess
a physicians certificate permits it,
This petition has met with almost unan-
imous opposition from the employers. Their
objection to this reform measure IS based
on economical reasons. They say that
many branches of manufacturing are lin
tied to a short season in each year, during
which overtime work is essential so as to
fill orders timely. They allege that
through this reduction Of the working hours
German manufacturing, especially that for
the export trade, would be seriously IN
iured the price of goods made higher. and,
in many cases, owing to inability to ill
orders promptly, trade would d min1sh. and
thereby the condition of the OPERATIVES be-
come worse instead of being bettered,
the proposed change of the law intends.

RUHLIN KNOCKED
OUT MCCORMICK

SAN FRANCISCO, August 12-Gus Rub
lin, the Akron giant. knocked out Jim Nc
Cormick in the eighteenth round CT what
was to have been twenty-round battle
before the Colma Athletic Club last night
Both fighters were in first-class condition
and each entered the ring confident of be-
ing returned the winner.
Both men fought cautiously in the early
rounds and very little damage was done
In the fifth round Mccormick forced the
fighting, but Rubin remained cool and
fought according to the advice of his sec
onds.
After the tenth round Mccormick seemed
to tire and from then until the end of the
fight Rubin did all the forcing. His most
effective blows were right hand body
punches delivered at short range, and these
blows more than anything else caused Nc
Cormick to tire. AT the start of the eigh-
teenth round Mccormick started to force
matters, but Rubin was only waiting for
chance and he let drive a terrific right
handler to the jaw that stretched McCor-
mick at full length. He made one at
tempt to get on his feet. but fell over and
was counted out.
OF the two Rubin seemed to have the
most friends, and for this reason he was
made favorite in the betting. Few wagers
were placed on the result of the match.
Ruhlins longer ring experience and the
fact that he is the cooler boxer of the two
gave him the advantage.
