Isn't this day long enough? Espe-
cially since the majority of working
women have home duties after the days
work is done. Most of them. because
Of low wages, have to do their own
washing, mending and sewing. Indeed,
the ancient slogan, Mans work Is from
sun to sun, but woman's work Is never
DONE" still holds good today. Another
reason why working women are in favor
of the shorter workday is because they
alone know the terrible monotony of
their tasks. How many people know:
That a telephone operator answers
about G25 calls per hour dn some ex-
changes 275 per hour) and that each
call requires six different operations?
That many girls in the sewing trades
sit for long hours in a room roaring
with machinery, watching a machine
that carries twelve needles or one that
sets 1000 stitches minute-
That in mills where women formerly
tended two looms they now are expected
to look out for twelve or sixteen?
Combined Strain Telling
That in canneries the women sorters
must work steadily with their eyes and
attention fixed on moving conveyors, and
the "cappers" are expected to cap from
fifty-four to eighty cans per minute?
| Must we combine the strain Of speed,
monotony piecework with that of long
hours?
We want the eight-hour day because
| it will give us more time to rest, more
time to think, more time to see Gods
sunshine. We want the eight-hour day
because a shorter workday means a
longer life ; because we are human beings
with hearts and minds. 1t is true that
part of the day it may almost seem that
we are mere cogs in a machine but
when the workday is done. when you
face us as neighbors. fellow riders on the
| trolley, as your customers in the de-
partment stores or perchance as cti-
zens of a common community, 1t is not
the cog" that counts but the sense of
our joint aims. of the intelligence. sym.
pathy, responsibility that we can bring
to the life of this community. These
are our arguments for the eight-hour
BILL now pending before our Legisla-
ture.

In view of this pending legislation,
1t is certainly to the benefit of all
concerned calmly to examine the merits
of this proposed measure. While the

tirely impartial, being firmly convinced
that the conclusions she has arrived at
are quite defensible and that they should
be realized, she does claim to have ar
rived at this point by logical examina-
ton of the situation in the light of the
best interests of all who would be af-
fected.

To me. however, there is another as
pect to this piece of legislation, for I
do not look at 1t as an efficiency measure
only. / am not in favor of the eight
hour day just because 1t will not de-
crease production, but because It will
prolong the lives and protect the health
Of our women workers. Justice Louis
D. Brandeis, speaking on this question,
has the following to say.
THE dangers of long hours for women
arise from their special physical organ
ization, taken in connection with the
strain incident to factory and similar
work. Long hours of labor are dan
gerous for women primarily because of
their special physical organization. In
structure and function women are diff
ferentiated from men.
Besides these anatomical and physi-
illogical differences. physicians are
agreed that women are fundamentally
weaker than men in all that makes for
endurance. in muscular strength, In nerr-
Gus energy. in the powers Of persistent
attention and application. overwork,
therefore. which strains endurance to
the utmost is more disastrous to the
health of women than men, and entails
upon them more lasting injury.
Overwork Has Evil Effects
THE experience of manufacturing
countries has illustrated the evil ef-
fects of overwork upon the general well
fare. Deterioration of any large portion
OF the population inevitably lowers the
entire community, physically, mentally
and morally. When the health of women
has been injured by long hours, not only
is the working efficiency of the COM
munity impaired. but the deterioration
| is handed down to succeeding genera
| tions. Infant mortality rises, while the
children of married working women,
who survive, are injured by inevitable
neglect. The overwork Of future moth
ers thus directly attacks the welfare
of the nation"
