LAW NOT APPLICABLE
TO NEWSPAPER WOMEN
"Copy'' Producers Not Affected by
Eight-Hour Statute, Mr..
Syme Rules.

Washington newspaper women will not
be affected by the operation Of the re-
Gently enacted law limiting the hours for
employment of women in the District to
eight hours day.
Under a decision by Corporation Coun-
sci Conrad H. syme today women en-
gagged in producing copy" for newspa-
pers or magazines do not come within the
purview OF the law. Those who do me-
chanical work in connection with the is
suing of a publication are subject to its
provisions.
The corporation counsel states that the
question resolves itself into whether a
newspaper establishment is a manufac-
turing establishment.
1T seems perfectly clear" he says.
that where a newspaper itself does the
mechanical work of publication that
portion of its equipment which does this
work is mechanical and constitutes a me-
chanical establishment. 1t is equally
clear that that portion of its equipment
which gathers it's news and produces its
copy is in no sense manufacturing nor
mechanical. 1 am of the opinion, there
fore, that the act OF February "a, 1914.
applies only to that portion of newspaper
and magazine establishments wherein the
mechanical work is actually DONE"
