From the San Francisco Bulletin.
 A law requiring weekly day of rest for every worker, no matter how employed, has been lifted from the limbo of for gotten statutes by the state labor com missioner, John P. Mclaughlin, and may come to be enforced generally in Califor- mia.

 It was not prosecution under the eight hour law for women. but under the stat ute of 19 years ago. Probably not a dozen employers in the state have known of it's existence. It was so completely forgotten that 1t was misplaced in the codes.
