WOMENS LABOR LAW
IN SUPREME COURT

Washington, Nov. 16-Constitution-
ality of the women's labor law Of New
York State was presented in a case
before the supreme court today par
ticularly as to validity of a clause
prohibiting employment of married
women at New York. The statute of
1903 followed the state factory inves-
tigation. 1t was once held unconsti.
tutional by the New York court Of ap-
pcais and later was sustained.
In the present case the Charles
Schweinler corporation appeals from
&C nviction of employing married
women at night in its printing p!ans,
attacking the law as a deprivation of
liberty without due process Of law.
The law provides that no female shall
be Employed in any factory before s
a. m, or after p. M, or for more
than 10 hours a day except to make
shorter work day on Saturday: or
for more than sixty hours a week.

The public has turned over 49, -a.

The public has turned over the reg
ulartion of railroads to the Interstate
and various Safe Commissions. In
their power to name a reasonable
rate these commissions have the abil-
ity to limit the return all railroads
might earn.
The Commissions define what they
consider reasonable return upon
the capital invested. But they take
little note of the fact that the man
with savings to invest is the man who
really determines whether the returns
from an enterprise are sufficient to
attract his money. And after all.
that man has the right to do with
his money exactly what he pleases.
A joint resolution was approved by
the President, July 20, 1916, providing
for the inquiry, but Notwithstanding
the pressing needs of the situation
the Congressional investigation COM
mittee has now allowed four full
months to elapse while it's members
look after their political fences and
allow the future of the commerce OF
this country-so vitality dependent
upon adequate railroad facilities-tc

Not until November 20 will this
commission assemble for it's first

~ the most important now affecting
the domestic welfare of our people.
The solution of the problem lies in
developing without any delay a sys.

not be controlled by political animus
or prejudice. and which will frankly
recognize this fundamental fact:
If we are to obtain the railroad ia.

our national trade, we must be will.
ing to pay the bill. That means that
we must permit railroads to earn
sufficient profits to attract the neces-
sary private capital.
Otherwise private capital will pu,
it's money elsewhere, and government
ownership, with all its inevitable
blight upon our national life, with all
its red-tape, waste and cost to the
people, will be the only recourse.

BUSINESS MEN HEAR
PUBLIC SERVICE TALKS

At meeting of the Bridgeport
Business Mems association last night,
David Feuer, chairman of the embar-
go and freight committee of the asso-
citation, and w. W. knight, manager
of the S. N. e. T. Co. exchange here,
talked on freight and telephone con-
ditions.
Mr.. Feuer was inclined to blame
truckmen and consignees for much of
the congestion Of freight here. Mr..
Knight declared that the telephone
company is having a hard time getting
operators that will stay, and besides
there is the difficulty of increasing the
service to meet the tax caused by the
great increase in population.
The association made plans for a
meeting to be held at The Stratf1eld
December IL. when the advisabilit Of
municipal collection of ashes will be
discussed.

1t Is Your Job

The time is at hand when you should
do your part in this matter of city govern
ment Forget all past differences. Heal up
the sore spots and get right down to some
clear, honest thinking on this subject
While it is true that Bridgeport is no
worse than many other cities in the coun-
try, still the opportunity is here to make it
better. We have been running around in a
circle for many years and it is hard to throw
off the old shackles and stop using obso-
lete methods.
However, conditions have changed al
most over night, and through our prosperity
new conditions have been created which
make progressive government of our city
absolutely essential.
Are you doing your part, or are you
simply waiting to see what the other fellow
does?
Has not the time arrived when you
should think little for yourself and not let
the other fellow do your thinking for you?
Under our present form of NUM-
cipal government the other fellow al
ways does the thinking. Under the
proposed form you can have direct
voice in the management of civic af-
fairs.
If we don't get this problem of good
government settled this year, it will be
many years before the question can be
brought up. That means lost time and
stagnation.
TIT re- vOTTR TOR NOW and hu moot
ing the issue fearlessly you will continue to

VOTE AT THE COMMISSION GOVERN
MENT SPECIAL CHARTER ELECTION
ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25TH,
1916"
These men are earnest, thinking citi-
zens possessing firm belief in Bridgeport
and her future They want to see their city
great, taking it's place among the most pro-
gressive cities Of our country. They want
to be able to point with pride to their home
city.
You, too, are loyal citizen and will
glory in seeing your city drop her swaddling
clothes
Help these men and help yourself
by signing that pledge card and then
make that pledge good by going to the
polls on election day. 1t is not the
question Of how you vote, only that
