SECRET CONFERENCE
PLANS UPSET OF THE
STATE TEN HOUR LAW

which was backed by the Consumers
League and thousands Of Others persons,
no definite plan was mapped out. There
will be further conferences within a few
days to check up upon the effect of the
actual operation Of the law 20 obtain in
formation in support of the proposed
litigation.
II was said an attempt would be made
TO get the test before the court on
case stated but when Attorney General
Wolcott was asked today if he had been
informed of a legal attack upon the law
he said he had heard nothing definite, al
though rumors that the law might be
assailed had come to him.
10 is said each Of the participants
in the suit will be assessed to make
up a fund to pay the lawyers.
So far as can be learned the
friends OF the ten-hour law have no
objection to its constitutionality be-
ing tested They say the questions
which necessarily would be brought
to issue have been passed upon by
the highest courts in other States
and also by the United States
Supreme Court in several essential
particulars. They add that the only
effect Of such a test here would be
the placing on record Of another de-
cision upholding legislation limiting
hours OF employment for women.
Evening journal., 1913-07-11

Preliminary steps looking to a test OF
the constitutionality Of the Moody ten
hour law for working women in Delaware
were taken yesterday afternoon at a
conference of business men, manufac-
tuIers and lawyers in the rooms OF
the Chamber Of Commerce in the dupont
building.
While no official announcement was
made at the conclusion OF the conference
il was ascertained that the plan is to
have a test case brought in the courts
of this state on the ground that the ten
hour law violates both the federal and
the state constitutions, in that it is dis
criminatory as between different classes
of women workers.
The understanding is that four law
yers have advised those business men
and manufacturers who would like TO
upset the law that it is clearly violative
of the fundamental law of the nation
and State.
The conference began at o'clock yes
terday afternoon and lasted more than
nh MNhAs ~ - 0diN ~ was HNAN III Af
sponse TO telephone messages sent out to
a certain few members of the Chamber
of Commerce by Johiah Marvel, its
president, and that lawyers who figured
in the efforts TO defeat or amend the
ten-hour bill in the Legislature at Dover
also were invited by the same tele-
phonic process.
The rank and file Of the member
ship of the Chamber of Commerce had
no information whatever that the
conference was to be held or that the
Chamber. directly or indirectly, was
TO be put in the position of giving
countenance to such litigation.
Many OF the members Of the
Chamber of Commerce. like T. Allen
Hilles, for instance, are heartily in
favor OF the ten-hour law as en-
acted and If they had known that
such a conference weld at
the call of the President of that
body II is likely there would have
been a protest
Il was learned today that although
there was a general discussion of the
proposed assault upon the Mooney law

Richard is we'll pleased with the

usually play an entire week in each

Sunday and Monday is an off day. The
people in that section of the state are
crazy about baseball and Cooley be-
lieVes that San Diego will have team

FL Paso. April 29.-Eight hundred
men, women and children driven from
their homes last week when the con-
stitutionalists captured Rosalia. are
walking to Chihuahua city. nearly 100
miles distant. This is the report
brought here today by refugees from
the Santa Rosalia disaster. The Mexi-
can Central railway was cut between
the captured town and the state capt.
tai, and the townspeople fleeing from
the rebels We're unable to obtain We
hicles. AS a last resort they set out
in a dismal procession afoct along the
railway. carrying with them what
clothing and provision they could for
the long march.
After taking Santa Rosalia the in
surgents under Colonel Rosalia Her
nandez executed all officers of the fed
eral garrison from Colonel Manuel
Pueblita down to the first corporals.
The refugees relate that the insurgents
insisted in leaving the bodies in the
streets for "a hours. explaining that
Presidents Maderos body was treated
in this manner.
The exodus from Santa RosaIi.. was
occasioned by the disturbed condition
which has paralyzed all industries.

The treasure was captured several
days ago from a Mexico northbound
railroad train bound for Chihuahua
City from the Guerrero mining dis
trict. The metal is packed in wagon
drawn by a team of mules. Beside

Sidered a daring venture to come with
