Six States Don't Limit
Work WOmen'S Hours

Washington.-In a survey by the
woman -in-industry service of the de-
partment of labor it was found that
Indiana is one Of six states that has
no legislation regulating hours for
working women, the other states be-
ing Iowa, West Virginia, New Mexico,
Florida and Alabama. The survey
covered 112 plants, employing over
$4,000 women. 1t is stated that
women were working as long as 65
hours a week in a clothing factory,
"a hours in a cannery, rs hours in a
seven-day week manufacturing cask
cts and SO hours and 40 minutes in
plant on automobile parts.
The only restriction on the employ
ment of women workers over 18 years
Of age prohibits employment in manu-
featuring between the hours of 10
o'clock at night and o'clock in the
morning. This makes it possible "for
a woman to work in a factory from
b a. m. until III p. nl., With one hour
for lunch, making a 15-hour work
day." or she may work all night in
other occupations than manufactur-
ing, such as a bakery or a railroad
yard, and yet keep within the law.
The report states that ain the day
nurseries of indianapolis many little
children are brought in before 6 a. m.
A woman with family must get her
own breakfast and that of her chill
dren before she starts for the factory,
which is often at a distance from her
home. At night there is the dinner
to cook, dishes to wash-all this after
her days work"
