Long Work Days

All States Urged to Place
Industries On the Basis
Of Eight-Hour Day

A mass of evidence Is available
both In this country and in Europe
indicating the serious effects of long
working hours upon the health of
women. This evidence, gathered
for the most part by expert govern
ment Investigators, has been recog-
nized by the supreme court of the
United States as justifying the use
by the several states of their police
power to enforce legislation limiting
hours of work. The supreme court.
in a brief presented to an Oregon
court, which led to decision declar-
ing constitutional law of that state
limiting hours of labor, holds that
health is the foundation of the state.

ers are crippled by continuous over
exertion. The loss of human energy
due to excessive working hours is a
national loss and must inevitably re-
suit in lowering the nations pros
perity."
In the United States, as a whole, a
growing tendency exists toward
shorter working day. The worlds
experience OF the evil effects Of over
work upon the general welfare has
led the majority of the states OF the
union to enact laws limiting the
hours of women's employment Only
six of the 48 states have failed to
place some limitation upon the
length of the working day of women.

In 20 of the states the hours of work

have been limited to eight or nine.
But in those states which have
not adopted this important measure
of protection for the health of their
citizens, abnormally long hours of
employment for women is made
possible. In a survey of hours and
working conditions for women in
one such state recently made by
the women in industry service,
United States Department of La
Dor, it was found that in 80 per
cent of the establishments investi-
gated the regular working day,
without overtime. was 10 hours or
more for 2,8l7 Cor % per cent? of
the women employed in the shops
visited. Specific instances of over
time legally possible in this state
showed women working as long as
IS hours in a week in one factory;
70 hours in one canpery; 81 hours
in another; IS hours and a seven
day week in one manufacturing
plant; and SO hours and DO minutes
in an establishment manufacturing
automobile parts.
With the growing complexity of
the problem of women's employ
ment and with the increase in their
numbers in industry, it is becoming
increasingly important that state
departments of labor should be
equipped to enforce laws regulat-
ing their employment, as well as
to study their needs and observe
new conditions.
With the purpose Of accomplish
ing this, the women in industry
service is recommending that wom-
en- should be placed in responsible
positions as members Of industria!
boards, or as chiefs of divisions d.
rectly responsible to the boards, or
to the labor commissioner.

Tragedy Of May and December.
Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee:
Your advice to June" in last nights
Bee is splendid. I only pps she
heeds your warning of May and De-
cember. I married prominent
business man of this city % years

ried few years and already he acts
different. He gives me all the
money / want, clothes. etc. I have

am justified in seeking it. / have

BROKEN HEARTED.
Yours Is one of the tragedies of
MAY and December" In wedIock.
Men, many of them, have the very
wrong idea that money can buy the
love of women, and they offer their
wealth in the marriage market for
the woman they select as a mate.
Girls too often, without realizing
what they are doing, sell themselves
to these men, firmly believing that
they can be true to them and ''live
happily ever after" But youth meets
youth, sooner or later-then there
Is trouble. The man pays the price
of his folly by losing what little at
lection his wife may have had for
him. He realizes then that money
cannot buy love. The woman pays
the price of her folly by being mar
ried to one man, who gives her no
grounds for divorce. and the while
loving another. This is the tragedy
of MAY and December"

advice as others do.

holidays Of last year / broke it for
I did not love him. This young man
I am going with now says he loves
me, and last night he ask to kiss
me. but I rejected and he said he
could never be satisfied until he
could kiss me.
Now, Miss Fairfax. do you think
his love could be true in so short a
time as we have been going to-
gether. He has never spoken Of
marriage; do you think Just his say
ing he loved me would consider us
engaged? Is 1t wrong to kiss them ?
Always this man stood between
myself and my fiance. that Is the
reason for our broken engagement.
I am 81 years old and this man
I love Ia 20, do you think there is
enough difference in our ages to
marry? My mother thinks the man
I marry should be at least eight
years older than I.

A. l.. C. of Ashland: have re-
ferred your letter to our legal de-
partment and your questions will be
answered on the editorial page under
the legal heading.
Miss F. K.-You know life has
different rules for different people
in various things, yet there are some
regular outstanding features that
apply to everyone. There is no age
where the world says: Now, little
girl you are old enough to go with
boys If you grow up as normal,
American girl with boys and girls as
friends, there will be a natural
transition in some ways, but still
that feeling that they are your
friends. If you will think of them
normally, in this way, when the
right man comes, as he will, you
need not worry what you will say
when he asks you to marry him.
There is no reason why you need
say mo" when you feel yves" 1t
has. caused many heartaches among
others. In these days an eighth |
grade education for girls Is not suf-
ficient If she Is able to have more.
Do not lose the pleasure of the pres
ent and each stage Of your life in
your eagerness to reach for what is
to come.
A True Lover-Cupid usually cares
little for the exigencies Of BUSH
ness and doesn't temper his arrow
to the convenience and comfort of |
the man of affairs. Take my advice,
go and ask her to marry you now,
for your business would not be half |
so important without her. 1t will
be there when you return.

Sisters Love.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
This may be an unusual question,
but please tell me how much or how
great should be sisters love for
her brother? My relatives say love
my brother too much, do too much
for him. ] don't think so, for he
loves me just as much as I love him.
Would like the opinion Of the read
ers, and also your opinion, Miss Fair
fax.
Thanking you for your splendid
advice, l remain, MARY MACK.
I suppose there is such a thing as
too great love for a brother-that
is, for his own good or yours. Some
times love becomes a hinderance
rather than help. Each soul is an
individual and should spread Its
wings and grow" If your love
hampers your brother in his career,
or If it blocks his opportunities then
think it is unwise to give free reign
to your affections.
