WOMEN MEMBERS
FOR EACH BOARD
MOLINE CITY COMMISSION RE
MEMBERS GENTLER SEX IN
NAMING OFFICIALS.
One Appointed as Judge and One as
Clerk in Each Case. Despite
Employment Law.

For the first time in the history OF
election boards in all precincts April
90. when a city commission is TO be
chosen. There viii be one woman
Judge and one woman clerk in each
polling place. To make room for
them and grant the request OF the wo-
mans club for representation many of
the old time judges and clerks were
of necessity dropped. II may be mag
ined that the task was no easy one. II
was arranged however. TO name one
experienced judge and one exper-
fenced clerk on each board
The point had been raised that 1t
would be Illegal TO name women as
judges and clerks because the statutes
OF the state prohibit employment for
more than 10 hours in a day. How
ever. the city authorities decided that
the law would not apply in this case.
II Il should be construed to apply
there Is doubt as TO who would be
liable for the penalties.
The newly named judges and clerks
will serve at the primary and at the
election. while the judges will serve
also on registration days.
