IN THE LINE OF PROGRESS
California Supreme Court Upholds Wo'
mems Eight Hour Law.

California Supreme Court Upholds Wo-
mons Eight Hour Law.
In 1911 two American states enacted
eight hour laws for women. In April
the supreme court Of Washington hand
ed down its decision upholding the
Washington eight hour law. Now the
California law has been sustained by
the California supreme court.
The California law provides that no
female shall be employed in any manu-
featuring, mechanical or mercantile es-
tablishment, laundry, hotel, restaurant,
telegraph or telephone establishment
or Office or by any express or transpor-
tation company for more than eight
hours in one day or more than forty
eight hours in one week. Employers
shall provide seats for their female
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, proprietor
of the Glenwood hotel at Riverside, for
writ Of habeas corpus to release him
from custody on the charge Of having
violated the law by requiring female
employee in his hotel to work nine
hours in one day. The appeal was
made on the ground that the law i'm
pairs the freedom Of contract and that
it is special in nature.
The court held that the constitutional
guarantee of freedom Of contract was
subject to restrictions under the police
power Of the state. The application
of the law exclusively to women was
justified on the ground Of physical diff
ferences and that the public health
must be presumed to be enhanced by
protecting them. Allegations Of the
special nature, nonuniform operation
and arbitrary discrimination of the act
were met by showing that work in no.
tells is different from that in boarding
and lodging houses and that 1t is of
more eXacting nature.
The decision marks another step for
ward in the progress of labor legisla-
ton in California and seems to open
the way for other commonwealth to
get into line-Survey

working women at night, near the
