Congressman Peters Says Orig

for Doubt as to Scope.

them. These inquiries. it was said,
have not been answered.
Observance of the law thus far has
been purely voluntary. as no officers
have been empowered to enforce it. The
law provides for the appointment of
three inspectors to carry out the pro-
visions Of the act, but no appropriation
was made to pay them. Congressman
Peters Of Massachusetts, one of the
trainers of the bill, said today that the
Senate probably would be asked to
make provision in the urgent deficiency
bill for the necessary appropriation. II
this is not done, the Commissioners may
conclude to do as was done when the
child-labor law went into effect, at
which time policemen were detailed as
inspectors until regular officers were
named.
Until 1t is definitely known how
many occupations the bill covers, 1t
will be impossible to state how many
women will have their working day
reduced to eight hours a day through
the operation Of the new law.
The larger department stores how
ever. had adopted the eight-hour
schedule before the law went into ef-
feet. The more than $500 girls en-

ployed in Washington stores are
working eight hours today. There
are 700 women employed in the laun-
ries and approximately 900 in the
manufacturing and mercantile estab-
lishments. There are from 500 to 700
girls employed in restaurants and
hotels. who have already been placed
on an eight-hour schedule. This num-
ber will be materially increased il
apartment house employees also are
included in the provisions OF the law.
In the original bill introduced in the
House by Congressman Peters, long
list Of occupations was given. and Mr..
Peters said today that his bill as then
worded covered all occupations outside
Of domestic service. In the bill as
amended and passed, however. only
manufacturing, mechanical. or mercan-
tile establishments, laundries. hotels. or
restaurants, or telegraph or telephone
establishments or offices or express or
transportation companies" were in
cluded
Charwomen and telephone girls are
employed in all the large apartments.
girls are employed in dressmakins es-
tablishments, ami there ore hundreds Of
women employed out Of domestic service
whose employers will be liable to
prosecution for violation Of the law,
although until the law Is construed they
will have no means Of knowing whether
they are included in its provisions.
The big employers are taking the
law philosophically. d. 8. Porter. head
OF the commercial department OF the

Company. where several hundred girls

shifts were put into operation some
time ago in anticipation Of the pas

were put on the night shifts SO that
no girl under eighteen should be COM
pelied to work after o'clock at
night.

would hire men, whose hours of work

money that mattresses get" ..
Mrs. Tagg declared that the Consum-
ers' League had been deluged with
applications from men and women
who want one OF the three $1,000 IN
spectorships provided by the law. The
applications have been referred to the
Commissioners. who also have. seen
many waiting for the new places.
Members Of Congress came In for
criticism today from private employ

. compelled to give their EMPLOYEES q

empted stenographers in the employ
of members Of the two Houses.

made. but the language Of the bill -
such that they could not be included.
An effort to have such employees
