ment for women was passed by the
Senate tonight, after burdening
amendment after amendment Was
voted down in the keenest aud most
sensational debate that has featured
the present session of the General
Assembly, and after one of the most
interesting legislative clashes seen
here for many years The bill as Il
passed the Senate and is to be sub
mitted to Governor Miller for his ap-
proval or veto was in the form that
1t came from the House where two
amendments had been made to il to
which the Consumers League agreed.
one of which permite the employment
OF women one twelve hour day each
week, and also permits the employ
ment of women M to eleven o'clock
at night. In all cases, however. a limit
OF fifty-fve hours a week for the en-
ployment of women is specified in the
bill, which with the exception of the
two House amendments was passed

Incidentally, the passage Of the bill
is victory for THE EVENING

THE sOURNAB has been allied with
the ConsuIltrs' League and other ad-
vocates OF the measure throughout
the campaign that now sends the
measure to Governor Miller for Ex-
ecutive action.
