WHAT'S DOING AT THE STATE
CAPITOL
Continued from Page One)

This Is nothing new in Legislature.
Several years ago, the United States
enacted a law providing that no Gov
eminent employee, man, woman or
child should work more than 4S hours.
During the past twenty years twenty
seven of our states have enacted sim
liar As hours statutes, and the ADAM
son bill tpassed by Congress) pro-
hibits employees of railroads engag-
ed In interstate commerce from work.
ing more than As hours in any one
week. In no instance where statutes
of this kind have been adopted have
they ever been repealed. The Maine
Republican platform for the last
campaign contained plank specifia-
caIly endorsing this law, and the Gov
ernor's message asked for it's enact
ment. The facts are that every Re-
publican who voted the party ticket
endorsed and voted for this statute at
the last election.
1t Is generally conceded by those
who have made study of the forty
eight hour week schedule that eight
hours per day will produce as much
energy and as good results az can be
obtained from a longer days work.
From the standpoint of health and
the well being of the race it is GER
tainly all that any woman should
work especially as in many instances
she will have some home duties in adj
dition to her factory employment.
Even at the best the conditions Of mill
work are not ideal. They are some
times unhealthy and almost unavoid-
ably so noisy as to exhaust the nerves
as we'll as the physical energy Of the
worker. Men in general take pride in
showing Difference and gallantry to-
ward the so-called weaker sex. This
law would make good this sentiment
by providing that women who CONT
ue in factory work shall not at least
be compelled to labor beyond their
strength.
It might be further said that the
mills of the American Wooden Com
pany and practically all of the larger
Industrial establishments of Maine are
already on AZ hour basis which
would seem to prove conclusively the
parcticability of this law. In sub
sequent issue hope to tell what is be-
ing done to secure a state highway
from Skowhegan to Moosehead Lake
through Cornville, Athens, Harmony,
Cambridge, Parkman, to Guilford,
where It joins a state road TO. Green
Vile which has already been con-
structed.
