that the girls really appreciate the

-EUening Journal.
Hear the words of these business
men who have seen how the law affects
their business: THE shortening of the
hours has been balanced by greater
efficiency on the part of the girlsl'
Wise merchants to discover that a
human worker is not a mere dead tool
or machine that can be run 12 hours
IA hours-and keep its efficiency as we'll
as for shorter period! These mer-
chants have learned that the labor of the
head and hand has varying quality,
and that therein hes its superiority over
the labor of the dead machine, and
moreover, that, the Greed seeking only
quantity regardless of quality, defeats
its own purpose.
So much for the commercial folly of
overworked human machines. But there
also remains the question of its inhu-
manity, and it is to the eternal credit of
these 22 employers of women in Will
mington that they voluntarily recognize
that fact also. We are happy to be-
lieve that neither the Legislature, nor
yet the Governor will allow these poll
tical tools of a few greedy business
men to cover the state with obloquy by
repeating these laws, nor allow the dis
missal of Miss Bissell from the post she
has so admirably filled as Chairman of
the Child Labor Commission. For truly,
were she not too modest to do so, she
could reply to her carping critics in the
words of the indignant Christ to the

works have l showed you, for which Of
those works do ye stone mel"
