To The Y. M. c. A. Directors

The Young Women's Christian Association is
doing great work, in helping friendless girls.
This makes it all the more reason why it should
not be put in the position of assisting in any way to
nullify the eight hour law for women.
The shortening of women's work day giving the
girls more time to themselves, saving the growing
girls from the diseases and enervation of strength
That inevitably follows overstranng of young
and muscles, is work important perhaps, as the
spiritual and mental work of the association itself
For it follows certainly that the overworked shop
and store girl is poor subject for right religious in
fluences.
The women the Y. w. c. A. is trying to help have
the right to look to the organization to lead the fight
for the enforcement of the law.
An attempt is being made by certain INSCRIPTIONS
employers of girl labor to push the Y. W. @. A into
the forefront of the fight against the law.
The heads of this institution should resent such at
tempts.
