QUESTION OF OVERTIME
WORK HOURS FOR WOMEN

Under ordinary circumstances with
the employee following the schedule of
the time table and the time table made
out in compliance with the law. we will
hold until otherwise advised, that over
time is the amount worked on different
hours than those mentioned in the time
table, states Hon. Roscoe A. Eddy of
Bar Harbor, State labor commissioner,
in communication Tuesday to Lew
iston corporation in response to a query
for informatin covering the matter
Corporations Letter.
The letter of the corporation to Com
missioner Eddy is as follows:
Can you explain to us the meaning
of Section 4s, Chapter 40 Of the labor
laws of 1915? The question which
puzzles us is in regard to extra work
ing hours of women. We have taken
this matter up with three different at
torneys. We wish to know whether the
clause-"Provided, however, that any
female of IS years of age or over may
lawfully contract for such labor for
any number of hours in excess of ten
hours a day, not exceeding six hours
in any one week, or 60 hours in any
one year, receiving audltlonal compen-
sation therefor means that women are
allowed to work but so hours a year
over 10 hours a day?
"If that is the case, mills running
here in Lewiston ten and one-half
hours day five days week would run
1870 hours a year, that is, 20 hours
more than 60 hours called for. 1t seems
that the clause Or when different ap-
portionment of the hours of labor is
made for the sole purpose of making a
shorter days work for one day of the
week rather contradicts the clause
which we have quoted earlier in this
letter. What is your interpretations

Armory Question at Bangor.

The adjutant generals department
has been having correspondence re-
garding the armory Of the CO. G, I'd
Reg, N. G. S. NJ, of Bangor, which is
decidedly unfit for the purposes to
which it has been devoted, being the
old City hall on Court street. Ono
paper has described it as follows:
Venerable beyond description, is en-
tirely unfit for use as a military head
quarters 1t is heated by stoves and
has no toilet conveniences, it rocks
when the men drill, they say. and it
is altogether barn-like and uncom-
Portable"
The military law of the State con-
tains plenty of authority to act in
such cases but the adjutant general
feels perfectly satisfied that the City
Fathers of Bangor. having the best
interests of her soldier boys at heart,
will provide them with the necessary
military quarters and at an early date.
Word from Bangor is to that effect.
the city council having taken up the
matter and several lots for the cree
ton of a suitable building have been
viewed.
Inquiry at the adjutant generals Of
flee as to the method of procedure in
the event of a city's failing or refus
ing to provide suitable quarters for a
military company. brought forth the
information that the State has an
Armory Commission, Of which the ad-
jutant general is chairman, with two
officers Of the line above the rank CT
captain and two civilians, appointed
by the Governor for two years. which
exercises full control over armories,
drill rooms and headquarters offices.
This commission, should town or
city fail to provide the necessary
quarters, can take action to remedy
the neglect. The town or city NUM-
cipal officers are liable to a fine OF
from 500 to $500, or by Imprisonment
for not less than three nor more than
six months, or by both fine and i'm

more than 10 hours in any one day ex-
cept for the sole purpose Of making a
shorter days work for one day of the
week, and in no case shall the hours OF
labor exceed So in week
'It will be noticed that the first part
of this section is general and limits
the hours of labor to ten a day. The
second part is the exception where they
are allowed to work for the sole purpose
of making a shorter days work for one
day of the week. 1t would not seem to
me that this exception has anything
to do with overtime. First, you ar
range your time table. This time table
is SO planned to allow for short days
work on Saturday. and the time table
is in compliance with the law, not over
So hours per week.
Now it would seem to me that over
time would be the amount worked in
addition to the schedule on the time
table Under ordinary circumstances
with the employees following the
schedule of the time table and the time
table made out in compliance with the
law. we will hold until otherwise adj
yised that overtime is the amount
worked on different hours than those
mentioned in the time table. If this is
not the information you require, please
advise me and | will chcerfully try
again"

MURDER STATISTICS FOR
55 YEARS IN MAINE

The recent inquiry of the secretary of
States office concerning murder
tragedy away back in the 1SS0's led to
the further investigation of the murder
subject by Clerk Donnel, with the re-
suit that he found that in the last So
years the total number of murder CON
victions in Maine had been 552 The
largest number in any one year was "a
in 1863. Two years, 1887 and 1888, had
no convictions.
Maine in 1921 placed murder on the
list of crimes punishable by death. In
1887 the law said that q person sem
fenced to be hanged for murder should
be imprisoned a year and day and
until" full record Of the case had
been submitted to the Executive and
until such time as the Executive should
issue his warrant ordering the eXecu-
ton. In 1914, the law was changed to
require the Imprisonment at hard labor
in the State prison until executed of all
persons convicted of murder
The Governor in 1867 called the at
tention of the Legislature to the fact
that 10 persons We're in the State prs
on under the sentence Of death and one
of them had been there, for over 20
years. He suggested adjustment or
changing the law so as to require the
Governor to issue his warrant for the
execution within a certain time. The
law in 1869 was made to require the
governor and council to review all muir
der convictions and death sentences
and commute. pardon or cause to be
executed within certain length of
time after the date of the original SEN
tence.
The Governor in 1870 and again in
1874 protested against the law of 1869.
declaring it was unconstitutional, since
it imposed juridical functions upon the
executive department. The Legisla-
ture in 1875 amended the 1869 law so
as to require the governor to issue a
warrant of execution within 10 months.
The death penalty in 1876 was abol-
ished. 1t was re- established in 1888
for murder alone. The Governor in
1885 called attention to the fact that
an unusual number of cold-blooded
murders had taken place in the past
two years. the restoration of the death
penalty having apparently afforded lit
tie of the expected protection from the
flood of crime that had been upon the
State. The death penalty for the last
time was abolished in 1887.
Well-posted writer's on the subject Of
capital punishment say that the nom
enforcement of the law from 1887 to
1867 was due to the strong opposition
to such a law and that the enforcement
of the law from 1867 to 1876 had much
to do with it's abolition. The Friends
Society was ever against capital pun
ishment and in the extended campaign
waged against such a law. Prof. Up-
