GUYE DEFENDS HIS RULES
Manufacturers Say They Will Be Con-
fiscatory, if Enforced.
HOURS FOR WOMEN TO WORK
Labor Commissioner Says He II
Simply Waiting for a Decision
from the Attorney General
Before Proceeding.

Rules drafted by Deputy State Labor
Commissioner Guye for the protection of
employees Of factories from death or injury
from machinery we're discussed by the
Manufacturers association at a meeting
Friday. Mr.. Guye was present and ex-
planned the plans for safeguards which he
contemplated when the rules were drafted.
George H. Kelly, president OF the associa-
ton. declared that the rules proposed by
the commissioner would be confiscatory.
"If we have TO live up to the stipulations
you have drawn up" Mr.. Kelly said re-
ferring to the Adams & Kelly Woodwork
ing company, I'VE will close our doors.
That one regulation by which you propose
encasing all band saws and installing an
apparatus to carry away the dust would
put 80 per cent of the band saws in Ne
braska out OF commission. have been
around factories for thirty years and In
all that time l never saw a band saw
break. II the so-called safeguards which
you suggest were placed on a machine we
would get just about 10 per cent of the
work out Of it as compared to its present
capacity.
III you enforce those rules IT will close
up half the factories in the state of Me-
braska"
Two other features of the rules attracted
considerable discussion. One was the reg
ulation requiring that all betting be en-
closed In a boxing, by which no one could
be caught in the whirl of the machinery
Many members argued that this would be
impracticable, insofar that 1t would be con-
ducive to fire and at the same time would
prevent the free play of automatic sprink-
Ter systems in event OF a blaze. A rule re-
curing that doors before all freight ele-
vators be at least six feet high met with
considerable opposition, the argument
being that most factory ceilings are not
high enough to permit the raising OF a
door Of this height.
Mr.. Guye's regulations also include the
recommendation that all women working
near machinery wear tight clothing and
keep their hair closely coifed.
The rules were drafted under the power
of the state factory inspection law. Mr..
Guye defended them from the attacks OF
the members of the association at length,
saying that they were drafted after similar
rules now in application In other states.
Referring to the law which gave him the
authority TO inspect factories. Mr.. Guye
said that he has asked the attorney gen
eral to make ruling on that clause which
says that women employees shall not work
between the hours Of 10 p. m. and 6 a. m.
''If the ruling says that this clause is ali
right. then 1 will start action AGAINST the
telephone company in Omaha for employ
ing switchboard girls at those hours OF the
night" he said in answer to a question that
was raised.
II win start the inspection OF the fac
tories to see II these rules are complied
with within a time reasonable enough 10

requirements OF the law" he said
