Hearing at Hartford Before Labor
committee-Substitute Measure Pre-
sented Includes Laundries, Restau-
rants, Hotels and Offices.

Hartford, May 12.-The matter Of the
hours Of employment Of women and
children in department stores, factor
les. s.mechanieal establishments and ath-
er places was given a hearing before
the committee on labor. and so great
was the interest shown in the measure
that the hall of the house was none
too large to hold all those who appear
ed in favor of or against the proposed
bill which has already had two or
three substitute measures offered to
take its place. At the hearing over a
week ago the employers presented a
substitute measure, and today the sub
Stitute was placed before the commit
tee by Ralph o. Wells, representing
the Consumers league, and others who
are looking after the interests OF the
women clerks and the young girls who
are employed in various places.
In the matter Of argument those in
favor of the easier hours for the wom-
en- were not as strong as was their
plea at the first hearing. but many new
points were brought out. The original
measure rs so changed in the proposed
substitute measure as to include laun-
dries, hotels. restaurants and offices.
where the hours of employment would
be limited to sixty i'm any one week
except during the summer time, when
the employers can only exact fifty-
eight hours in any week. This is for
the purpose Of allowing them to keep
their stores open during the week be-
fore Christmas. which many of them
are now doing in defiance of the law
Among the principal speakers We're
Mrs. Frank Porter of New Haven who
told of ;he conditions i'm department
stores; Miss Evans, a settlement work
er. who has worked In various cities:
DR.. Julia Dcutheil, New Haven Mrs
Baldwin, president OF the Consumers
league, and Dr. A. II. Williams of
Hartford. These were in favor OF the
proposed substitute. which had been
offered by Mr.. Wells. Comptroller
Bradstreet said that il was a fact that
the employers of female help in fac
tories get out Of a So hour week only
SO IL hours. the remainder ching used
for lavatory purposes. He also said
that he wanted 20 make plea for the
house servant. whose hours were long
er than any of the other classes.
Miss Mary Wells Of Newington made
an eloquent plea for the measure. and
was followed by Miss Corcoran. the
deputy factory inspector. Miss CorcO-
ran was I'm favor Of putting a closing
limit on the stores. so that all would

things they said yesterday. Orville
referred all questioners to Wilbur, and
Wilbur turned them over to Orville.

Premature Discharge of Electric Cap
The workinen had placed five hun

a few minutes before o'clock, there
was a terrific explosion, which was
probably caused by the premature ols-
charge of an electric cap. Houses an

known definitely at nightfan whether
any of them met death as result or

them. The foreman in charge said to-
night that he thought two of them
were killed.
Explosion Started Fire in Woods.
Soon after the explosion fire was
discovered in the woods, in which the
dynamite storehouse was situated, and
it was feared for time that the
flames might reach the building, IN
which a carload of explosives were
stored. but the fire was extinguished
before the danger was reached.
1t turned out that five of the great
charges Of dynamite remained unex-
ploded in the quarry. This rendered
somewhat difficult the search for the
bodies, the workmen fearing further
explosions.
The Callahan Brothers were well
known in Albany. They maintained
the company's office here during the
winter but moved to South Bethlehem
when the seasons work opened.
