up TO $50 and S70,> with their board

Under the new law, with only eight
hour shifts permitted, the work ought

Outside of women, nurses, we are
having no difficulty in getting. help
enough to comply with the eight hour

Nurses have beeni on duty 10 to IA
hours a day. The eight hour law will
require employment of about 275
more persons in state institutions
after January I, and will add greatly
to the cost OF maintaining them.
