Marshall Brawning has given notice that this ordinance will be officially enforced. But even with the enforcement there is plenty of room left on the butte and in the past fire works have shown up better from that spot than any other part of town. In some instances certain species of the fireworks can be seen for many miles when exploded from the top of the buttes As long as there are to be no explosives of any sort used within the prescribed limits the butte is almost certain to be the center of entertainment upon the Fourth of July evening.

WOMAN LABOR LAWS UPHELD
In Washington and California the
 8Hour Day is in Effect

In 1911 two American states en- acted ShOur laws for women. In
 April, the supreme court of Wash
 ingtOn eight hour law. Almost with
 ill a month-May 27-the California
 law has been sustained by the Cali
 fornia supreme court Thus the way
 seems to be open for the other com
 monWealths to get into line.
 The California law provides that no
 woman shall be employed in any
 manufacturing, mechanical, or mer-
 cantile establishment, laundry, hotel,
 restaurant, telegraph or telephone es-
 tablishment or office, or by any ex-
 press or transportation company for
 more than eight hours in one day
 or more than forty eight hours in
 one week. The provisions of the act
 do not apply to the harvesting, cur
 ing, canning or drying of any variety
 of perishable fruits or vegetables. Elm
 ployers shall provide seats for their woman employees and shall permit them to use them when not engaged in active duties.
 The law came before the court on the appeal of Frank A. Miller, pro- prietOr of the GlenWOOd hotel at RlV- erside. for a writ of habeas corpus to release him from custody on the charge of having violated by the law by requiring a woman employe in his hotel to work nine hours in one day. The appeal was made on the ground that the law impairs the freedom of contract; that it is spe- ciaI in nature, and that it embraces h
 The court held that the constltu- 1 tional guaranty of freedom of con i tract was subject to restrictions un- der the police power of the state ! The application of the law exclusive i ly to women was justified on the ground of physical differences and that the public health must be pre- sumed to be enhanced by protecting i them. Allegations of the special na- l ture, nonuniform operation and arbl- trary discrimination of the act were met by showing that work in hotels | is different from that in boarding and 1 lodging houses and that it is of a more exacting nature.
 The exemption of women employed
 in the harvesting and canning of temporary character of the work and because of the perishable nature ot tho Droducts handled The invalidity of the act because it embraced two distinct subjects was also denied by the court. which held that it had but one general subject, the regula- ton of female employment.-Th Survey.
