EIGHT HOUR LAW OF NO VALUE
Commissioner Beck Told Measure tor

Wants To.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 26.-In reply TO
letter of inquiry from State Labor
Commissioner Beck, the attorney gen
eral has rendered an opinion to the
effect that while section 1928 Of the
revised statutes of Wisconsin, which
was passed for the purpose of limiting
the hours of labor for women in fac
tories and workshops to eight hours "a
day is constitutional, it is practically
of no value because women may work
longer than eight hours if they So de
sire Several of the factory inspectors
have reported to the labor commission
ers that in most of the factories Of the
state women employees work ten hours
a day. The attorney general says:
LAS the statute now stands a Wom-
an may not be compelled to work
more than eight hours in one day in a
factory OF workshop without q viola
ton Of the statute, but she may do so
III she likes.
Commissioner Beck says there are
21,S24 females employed in factories
aid workshops in Wisconsin. 1t is
probable that an attempt will be made
at the coming session Of the legisla-
tJlre to have this statute amended so
as to absolutely prohibit factories and
workshops from allowing their female
wage earners to work more than eight
hours; a day.

Worked the Tigers.

Near Perak, in the Malay peninsula,
is a prosperous rubber factory run by
d long headed Scotchman. In order to
obtain the sap from which the rubber
is made it is necessary to puncture the
bark Of the trees. Laborers are scarce
in that district, but there is an album
dance of tigers. There were not
enough men to tap" the trees, but the
Scotch proprietor hit on a brilliant
idea. He knew that tigers are fond Of
valerian, SO he gave orders that all the
trees should be rubbed with this stuff.
Phe tigers came up and caressingly
scratched the bark in the most ap-
proved herringbOne fashion, after
which all that the coolies had TO do
was to walk around once day and
collect the rubber
