tor, presented her annual report for
the year 1916. The report, in part, fol-
lows:
This has been a year Of almost un-
precedented business activity. There
were employed on an average more
than 1000 more females this year than
the preceding year. Notwithstanding
this, the demand for girls has been
and is much greater than the supply.
This naturally give rise to the temp
tation to work longer hours. l am
glad to report, however. that the law
has been, on the whole well complied
with, and there have been fewer viola
tions this year than N the preceding
years. The average number OF fe-
males employed in Delaware this au-
tumn was 1898; last year the average
number was 1926. As stated in pre-
viOus reports most OF the violations of
the law are due to carelessness."
During the year there have been two
prosecutions. On September IS, the
owner of a grocery store in Wilmington
was brought before the Court Of Gen
eral Sessions charged with working his
female employe more than 50 hours a
week and longer hours than those posted
on his notice card. The defendant
pleaded guilty and was therefore prose
cuted on only one charge. lie was fined
the minimum fine, $40 and costs. On
October 10 the owner OF a general store
n Harrington was brought into court
with two charges against her, working
her employe more than 55 hours a
week, and working her employe after
the hours posted on her notice card.
The defendant pleaded guilty. The
court suspended sentence and admon-
ished the defendant 10 comply there
after with the law in all its require
ments.
There was, this year, a most gratl-
flying Improvement in the attitude Of
the stores toward night work before
Christmas.
"It is a pleasure to report that a
few Of our stores in Wilmington have
taken the advance step Of doing away
with night work.
During the year from January 1,
1916, to January 1. 1917, there have
been made 3 377 visits of inspection
and S33 establishments have been
visited. employing on an average Of
5000 females"
Miss Malone also made a report of
| her invest cation OF sanitary cOndi-
tions. She states that in most Of the
III establishments investigated for
| sanitary conditions the light was
good. in only four could it be charsc-
terized as bad. The conditions of ven.
tilation we're not so satisfactory,
while the cleanliness in II establish
ments was distinctly poor.
Dust in injurious quantities was
found in several establishments.
The report went into other details
OF sanitary conditions in the estab-
iishments.
