one of the most impressive commu-
Mon services ever held in the Sacred

WOMEN'S LABOR
LAW Is UPHELD
SUPREME COURT UPHoLDs CON-
STITUTIoNALlTY OF MEAS
URE. NECESSARY FOR THE
PUBLIC GOOD.

Quoting at length from opinions Of
the United States supreme court and
courts of other states the supreme
court of Michigan has upheld the con-
stitutionallty of the law limiting the
hours OF work of women I'm this state
to nine hours i'm one day and ga hours
i'm week. on the grounds that such
protection of the sex is necessary for
the public good.
The law was passed by the legisla-
ture of 1909. 1t eXempts women en-
ployed i'm canning factories in the
preservation of fresh fruits, and when
this case was brought the plaintiffs
relied upon that feature as one of their
points on which they hoped to have
the law declared invalid. The case
was brought by the International Seal
q Lock Co, of Hastings, and other
employers of women were interested
in the case with them indirectly. The
| issue was raised by the order OF the
state labor bureau to this company 70
conform to the provisions of the act
| i'm the employment Of women in the
factory. 1t was urged by the plain
tiffs that the act is I'm violation of the
| fourteenth Amendment to the feder-
al constitution, interfering To destroy
the right of contract. 1t was further
contended that the section exemptine
women employed in canneries makes
II class legislation. The decision quotes
from decisions unfolding the authori-
ty OF state to enact such legislation
under its broad police powers, as q
protection of the public health.
From one opinion language is quot
ed as follows: "That womans physical
structure and the performance of ma
ternal functions place her at dis
advantage i'm the struggle for subsist-
ence is obvious. This is especially true
when the burdens of motherhood are
upon her. Even when they are not by
abundant testimony of the medical
, fraternity continuance for a long time
on her feet at work, repeating this
from day TO day, tends to injurious eff
fects upon the body, and as healthy
mothers are essential to vigorous Off
spring, the physical well-being of wo-
men becomes the object OF public in
terest and care i'm order to preserve the
/ strength and vigor of the race"
Taking up the question of class leg
| slation the opinion quotes at length
| from Cooley on Constitutional Limita-
tons. in which it is laid down that
the authority that legislates for tho
state at large must determine wheth-
err particular rules shall extend to the
whole state and all its citizens, or on
the other hand, to a subdivision or g
single class of its citizens only Ref
erence is made to another opionior
which divided women into two classes
he lnOIGlntlOI
which applies to one calling only pur'
sued by women, is not class leglsla'
ton, IL is difficult to see how legisla'
ton which applies to many calling'
pursued by women can be said to b'
class legislation, because it does no
apply to all callings pursued by her.

P.O. CLERKS Want
EIGHT HOUR DAY
PRACTICALLY THE ONLY FED.
ERAL EMPLOYEES WHOSE MAX
IMUM HOURS ARE NOT
FIXED BY LAW.

Postoffice clerks of the upper PEN
insula and throughout the United
States are trying to interest their con-
gressmen in the conditions of labor
under which they are employed. At
the last convention of the postal clerks
association ii was decided by unani-
nous vote that their most urgent need
was the establishment of a legal eight
hour day. Postoffice clerks occupy the
unique position of being practically
the only class of government employees
who are not protected by an act of
congress limiting their hours of en-
ployment.
The postmaster general recently is
sued an order to so arrange the
clerks schedule, if possible. so that the
working day would be eight hours I'm
length, but there is no law governing
the matter such as applies to mail
carriers and most other federal en-
plOyes.
The postoffice clerks can see no rea-
son why they should not be placed on
the same basis as other government
employees. The principle of an eight
hour day for government employees is
well established. In recent years IL has
even been Xtended to cover the en-
| ployes of contractors, who might be
employed on government contract
| The postoffice department recognizes
| the justice of the principle, for it's an =
nual report recommends to postmasters
that eight-h hour schedules be arranged
for clerks wherever II is possible to dc
! so.
Statistics that have been compiled
show that ten-hour day is by nc
means uncommon in postoffices and
that frequently clerks are required "a
labor as much as eleven hours pei
day. This conditions of affairs, the
clerks say, is not only an injustice but
also initiates against the efficiency
of the service Where there is not a
sufficient force of clerks TO clean up
the mail in eight hours, it may be as
sumed that important mail is being
delayed, the clerks say.
The condition of employment OF
clerks must also be taken into consid
Grafton, they point out. Besides their
hours in the postonice. they must de-
vote their hours in their homes &c
study TO master the various schemes
of mail distributing and that they may
become expert in handling the mails
Examinations are constantly being
held to determine efficiency and every
error is checked against the clerk and
taken into consideration in deciding
upon his promotion Furthermore. the
clerks are required to work from three
to eight hours per day on an average
of twenty Sundays during the. year.
