WASHINGTON WOMEN NOW WORKING UNDER
 EIGHT HOUR RULES
Wilson's Signature to LaFol- lette'S Measure Brings
 Needed Reforms.
Especial to the Farmer.)

Special to the F'armer.)
 Washington, Mar. 12.-When Pres ident Wilson affixed his signature to certain important law the other day it marked the first occasion that the eight-hour day for women has been brought. into the conservative east. The States of Washington and Cali fornia adopted the eight-hour day and six-day week for women three years ago, and these laws were followed by similar action in Colorado, Utah and Arizona. But in the east, which IS conservative and which turns only re- Iuctantly to remedial legislation for labor, most states are having hard enough time cutting the hours or Wo- men.s labor to 10 hours a, day.
 The LaFollette law, which the President has just signed, forbids the employment in the District of ColuTn- bia of women for longer than eight ure which is calculated to jar the con servatism of the east, and which. it's packers hope, will stimulate similar legislation in all of the eastern States
 No sooner had the law been signed than certain employers who had fought the legislation began to dis. charge women in their employ. They did this to make good their predic- ations that the law would have just that effect The Consumers League which had advocated the LaFollette bill, however, had anticipated this p1oyes in certain establishments that they might expect this action. They assured the working women that this state of mind on the part of their employers would be only temporary From past experience in California and Washington 1t was realized that the women discharged would be soon hired back again And as this is be- ing written that everything is hap pening- The few women who lose their jobs are getting them back again.
 ing day means more employment for women instead of less. Employ CTS now divide their working forces into two shifts-one to begin earlier in the morning and to quit earlier at night. the other to begin and quit later It the two-shift plan, but the employer finds out that each employee is more efficient than formerly, due to the shorter working hours. so that his establishment turns out more work per employee hired than under the old plan.
 The city of WashinE Eton surely needed this law. An investigation made before the adoption of the bill showed women working in steam laundries in the hot weather on an average of 12 and 3 hours a day for periods of two and three months. The new law applies to practically all wo- men industrially employed except those in private offices and domestic servants in private homes Hotel servants are included in the provis- ions of the act, and also that other class of women employees so fre- quently exempted in States laws. de- partment store clerks. The law pre- scribes sfx-day week for women. and prohibits night work for minors The best employers of Washington did not oppose the legislation.

 17,e boy who was always asking csaestiors,y that were often "aWk-. wards questions, and unwe1come ques- fsons for those who were expected to answer was voted a nuisance by r,eaehbors and friends-even by pa renfs-who found themselves often without q ready answer Congress man Donovan seems to nave fetalneo an odd habit of that kind from his State Legislature days. and has brought 1t to Congress with him. We must say that they are often questlonss that somebody ought to ask even if 1t has to be done by one of that class of persons who rush In where am. rze7s fear to tread-,s TheLt sort of. ouestloner may become very unpopu-. lar among his colleagues, but incident- ally he may develop some things of in ferest and even of practical value to the public service There was de-. bate recently over a question of the payment of the arrears of salary of dead Congressman to the father of the deceased, and the proposition met with much objection from members of finely sensitive minds on such points Mr. Donovan merely wanted fo know and sure there's 2 lot of us. who would like to know a1so-why there should be objection to such a. payment and no objection at all to the payment of live Congr essmans who stayed away-working for his own self all the time, for forty weeks out of the dfty-two in the years It IS evtGents of course that the dead ConEr essnnan had q good excuse for keeping away In the case of the live Congressman that point is not so plain and convincing, to say the least But why should there be objection to sa1- ary paying 1n the former case, and in the latter the salary is paid as a mere matter of course That was
