generations, it was constitutional to
limit the working hours of women to
eight hours a day. Today in war
time limitation of hours 1t is important
for an additional reason. Modern war

should be made to restrict the work of
women to eight hours" the ordnance
department has in mind primarily the
output of munitions. In urging the
prohibition of night work, they state
that English Investigators have found
that night work for women involves
proportionately larger costs for super
