And So They

CCOTT wondered why he felt as lie
~ did. He had always approved of
careers for women he had come home
from France with different idea of
women; an idea that women were big.
that they had emerged from their sla-
very days into big ideas of life He
had seen women work side by side with
men; he had seen them suffer unbeliev-
ably, and it bad given him an idea
Of their cldufance, but marriage had
somewhat changed that idea. He loved
Ruth dearly, but he saw plainly her
limitations He knew that she wasn't
Bis he knew that she was small and
full of faults. and he realized, too, that
she was n typical average woman. Ite
could hold her in his arms and thrill
with the intimate nearness of her. even
while he remembered a certain bit Of
unfairness on her part: He. loved her
in spite of her faults, but he knSw
those same faults, and because he did
he had no faith in her ability to hold
a position. ~ -.
Therefore it was with a certain shock
that he received Ruth's definite an
then he had thought her led away by
| a new fad. To do Scott credit, he
cared very little for what people might
| say about Ruth's experiment; what he
did care about was the fact that she
| might have to learn new lesson
| through this experiment.
Ruth had definitely taken the position.
! She had called Elsie Jeffries up on the
| telephone and had told her so, and after
! it was all done she lay awake nights
that it might have been a position that
she could have boasted about. but she
| was firmly convinced that that would
come afterward.
The night before she was 10 put in
an appearance at the office she began

Scott looked at her as she sat in the

sailor suit, and her hair was rumpled
up. She was all feminine as she sat
there, pampered womanhood in the flesh:
Scott suddenly wanted TO keep her that

WOMEN'S WORKING
BILL is REDRAWN
Application Of the Eight-Hour
Principle to Employment Is
Made More Specific

The Women's Trade Union League
has modified the provisions of the eight
hour bill for women, on the suggestion
of the legislative committee of the
Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce.
The eight hour bill, introduced in
the Pennsylvania. State Legislature by
State Senator II. W. Schantz, of Lc-
high county. has not yet been reported
out of committee.
At recent meeting of the legislative
committee of the Chamber of Commerce
oFthis city the spirit of the eight hour
principle for women workers was ap-
proved, but the bill was criticized as
drawn as not being sufficiently explicit
in the kinds of occupations to which i
was made applicable.
The Women's Trade Union League.
which originated the bill and has been
pushing it in the Legislature. had it re-
drawn after careful considerable The
bill in its new draft excludes from its
provisions various types of occupation.
Summarized, the bill as it now stands
provides:
First. Eight hours day and forty
eight hours week will constitute the
maximum legal hours of work for
women. and girls in manufacturing
mercantile and mechanical establish
ments aud restaurants. These daily
hours may be extended to eight ana
three quarter hours. but only for the
purpose of granting weekly half holi-
day.
Second. For women in other forms
of employment, such as hotel workers
and stenographers in private Offices, the
hours of work will remain as they are
under the present law (tcn hours day
and fifty -four week,.t ~ ,
Third, Nurses in hospitals and
women holding managerial POSITIONS are
excluded from these provisions. Farm
and domestic labor also continue to be
excluded, as they are under the exist
ing law. SD .
The eight hour bill amends Section
8 of the present labor law for women
which was passed in 1913|As the eight
hour law stood before these changes, it
was sweeping in its provisions. taking
in all women workers. IT,.
Alba D. johnson, speaking for the
legislative committee of the Chamber
of Commerce.. said in an interview after
the billshad been considered by his com
mittee that they would be willing to
;econsiders-it at any time.
Interest in the passage of the eight
hour bill is growing throughout the
