NORWICH MEN FAVOR
So HOUR A WEEK BILL.
Prefer 1t to Ten Hour a Day Plan
Owing to Saturday Night Hours.
(special to The Bulletin. !

Especial to The Bulletin.)
Hartford, May 12.-Among those
who were at the capital this afternoon
in attendance on the hearing before
the committee on labor on the amend
ment to the law which limits the hours
of labor for women and minors in this
state to IS per week were Frank e.
King, Charles T. Parsons and Otto Z.
Wulf Of Norwich. Mr.. King addressed
the committee on behalf of the store
keepers of Norwich in support Of the
bill by which it is desided to amend
the present law so that the IS hour per
week unit may be made the basis Of
the law instead Of 10 hours day. as
at present.
He stated that the merchants Of
Norwich were one with those of other
places in the notion that they ought
to be allowed to keep open later than
would be possible under a 10 hour a
day basis on Saturday nights in order
to make It possible for those who have
no other time in which to do their
buying to complete this What they
wished was a change in the law which
would make it possible for them 10
keep open late Saturday nights If
they shortened UP the working hours
other days in the week so as to come
within the limit Of IS per week.
The entire question Is a very much
involved one and it Is doubtful Is any
body thoroughly understands what is
really sought The Consumers league
put in one bill which would make il
Illegal for any store to employ women
or minors more than 10 hours in any
enc day or more than IS per week, and
the storekeepers attempt now to have
a substitute take the place of this
which covers the situation in about the
way Mr.. King desired 1t should be
covered.
Strong presentations Of the different
views on the subject were made this
afternoon at a largely attended hear
ing in the hall of the house OF reDre-
sentatives. Several hotel keepers were
present TO oppose an amendment
brought in by the merchants adding
hotels, laundries and restaurants to
the list covered by the law which was
proposed in the endeavor to kill the
whole proposition.
