smart set in East Orange should stay
up nights a few hours later than usual

TRENTON. March 12.-senator sill
ger presented an amendment to the
wornen's ten-hour law, exempting from
its provisions the manufacturers of
medical and surgical supplies for the
United States government. This will
exempt johnson & Johnson, In New
Brunswick, and is said to be necessary
for that firm because of special orders
received from the government in case
of war. g
Senator Nichols offered another
amendment exempting canning indus
tries and changing the date from Sep
tember l to October l, when the law
shall go into effect. Senator Edge op.
posed the Silzer amendment. He de-
clared that the bill had been already
amended by striking out the eight hour
at night provision, making it possible
Tor manufacturers to make ten-hour
shifts. This he thought was sufficient
to permit the Johnson & johnson firm
to meet all emergencies.
Senators Gebhardt and Colgate on
posed the amendment. Mr.. Colgate
said that ten hours a day was enough
for any oma in war time or peace.
Senator Fielder's objections were
based on the fact that the amendment
old not apply only to emergencies but
exempted altogether the factory in
question. The Silzer amendment was
lost by II to 7. Senator Edge opposed
the Nichols amendment for the same
reason he gave in objecting to the
other. lie feared that eyemntion would
make the bill unconstitutional
