MAYER UPHoLDs LAW IN LABOR CASE
Says Publics Interests Demand Restricting
Women's Hours of Work

Attorney General Mayer filed yesterday with the
justices of the Court of Special Sessions brief up
holding that section Of the Labor law which forbds
the employment of women in factories after p. m.
or before a. IN. 1t has been contended in some
quarters that the law could be construed as to
affect all women in all large offices and business
establishments-notably stenographers and type
writer's.
Several months ago David L. Williams. president
Of the Williams Printing Company, No. 4S7 Eleventh
avenue was arrested. charged with violating Sec
ton n of the Labor law in permitting several
women typesetters to work overtime at night. The
case went Special Sessions where the facts were
admitted by Mr.. Williams. but his counsel put in
a demurrer. alleging the unconstitutonality of the
law.
Among other things Attorney General Mayer says:
It is academic that the right labor and to con-
tract for labor is subject to limitations growing
out of the duties which the individual owes to
society. It IS matter of universal knowledge that
continuous standing on the feet by for a
great many consecutive hours is deleterious their
health II must logically follow that that which
would deleteriOusly affect any great number Of
women must necessarily affect the public welfare.
No date has been fixed yet for a decision Of the
case by the Court.
