About the Edge Bfli.

About the Edge Bill.
To the Editor Of the Evening star:
In connection with the hearing last
Tuesday on the Edge bill to limit the
hours Of women's work in New Jersey,
1t should be noticed that the points
made by the opponents Of the bill are
familiar to all who have followed the
course of such legislation in other
States.
Merchants have said that their trade
would be ruined If the stores could not
keep open Saturday evening and sew
eral evenings before Christmas. This
may or may not be sound prediction,
but, in any case, 1t is apart from the
discussion of the present bill, which
sets no limit to the hours when store
may be open, but only says that no
employee may be on duty more than
ten hours in any one day. This is q
perfectly possible, practical distinction
The matter of health is the funda-
mental issue, more vital to the nation
than the convenience of the employers.
This fundamental issue demands legis-
lation and experience of employers in
other States proves that they will not
suffer more than temporary incon-
venience. They have always adapted
themselves to new conditions. Why
temporize and obstruct?
