Hardships of the Eight-hour Law.

Like much of our "uplift" legislation conceived
and swiftly placed on the statute books through
desire to benefit particular portion of humanity
the eght-hour law for women workers in the Dis
trict of Columbia has proved defective discrmina-
tory and productive of hardships to many of those
it was intended to help 49,.
In some lines of business women have been
forced to give way to men, because it is impracti-
cable to limit their service to eight hours day.
Women who compelled to earn their own living
find it difficult to find places, because. under
the new law certain. vocatons have been closed to
them They are eager to work the necessary number
of hours, and in many vocations the work is of such
nature that a ten-hour period of duty imposes no
hardship. But the law is explicit, and employers
are compelled to turn them away And while the
burden usually falls on the workers. in the form of
unemployment necessarily reduced wages, large
number of employers have been put to unwarranted
additional expense which in some cases falls in the
end on their customers.
The hotels perhaps, furnish the most striking
illustration of the nequitable operation of the law
In their peculiar position hotel propretors are forced
to largely increase the number of their employees OF
course they cannot reasonably be expected to meet
all of the additional expense themselves, so that the
inevitable result must be decreased wages increased
charges for accommodations, or both; and this, they
claim with reason should not be necessary. Women
employees of hotels are by the nature of their duties

THE CRIMSON BALLOT
BY FRANK A. MARSHAL, IN
 THE NEW VOICE PRINTED BY REQUEST

One day in a crowded court room A sentence of death was said, In the hush of the awful stiffness: ''To be hanged by the neck
 until dead,"
 And a mothers heart was broken, As she faltered a murmured
 name; f ~A And fathers face was furrowed With the tears of grief and
 shame.
 It was only one of the dramas That are acted every day. And the judge on the bench had
 asked him T What the prisoner had to say. 'The jury has said Fam guilty" Was the low, resigned reply, The law has summoned the
 hangman
 And said that I must die. "But before the God in heaven did not kill my friend, And to the looming scaffold A guiltless man you send. The dramshop did this murder, And the drink that fired my
 brain,
 That made me do it's bidding, And held me in its chain. But not upon the dramshop, Nor brewery, nor still, Nor on the high officials.
 Who watch them steal and kill; But on your skirts, your honor, And every man who's stood To legalize the gin-mill,
 Is stamped the brand of blood" His voice rang like a bugle, No other sound was heard, While something kin to terror In all who listened stirred. And all the courtroom covered Beneath the lash of truth;1 The boy seemed judge and jury, And they the sentenced youth. "For back of the laws officials Is the law that spells my fate; And back of the law are the
 people.
 And the people are the State, My hand held the murderous
 weapon, @ And the blood on it's blade they
 saw.
 But back of the deed was the
