EIGHT HOURS AND RUIN
Employe or Employer Shall
Not Labor Over 8 Hours If
Bill Passes Senate.

We haven't had the opportunity
Of reading in full the eight-hour
bill. which has already passed the
assembly. An editorial in the Mil
waukee Journal. however. gives us
some idea of what this measure
contains and what it would do TO
Wisconsin industry if it became a
law.
The bill. according 10 the Jour
nal, calmly assures the people of
Wisconsin that no one shall work
more than eight hours in any day.
Hastily scanned, the bill seems
none other than Wisconsin's old
friend. the basic eight-hour meas
.ure. Which means no more than
that men, working more than
eight hours. shall receive extra
pay for overtime work.
That is not in the least what the
present legislature has in mind.
For the bill declares that, for the
sake of Tublic health, no person
not man. or woman, or child, but
person employed in any mill,
factory or manufacturing estab-
ishment. shall be employed for
more than eight hours. II pro-
hibits employment for longer per-
iods. Il fines-and heavily-any-
one who permits longer employ
ment.
When the measure whooped thru
the assembly there was none 70
oppose il. Manufacturers, SEEM
.ngly. didn't grasp its meaning.
Labor itself, apparently, did not
get its purport.
The bill, If enacted, will shut
down half the industries of Wis
c0nsin. provided the law is consti-
tutional and enforceable. Ii may
be neither. But that does not
make the bill any less vicious.
There are few plants that can
operate without overtime. There
are manufacturing processes that
can't be completed in eight hours.
There are few officers. manag-
ers, officials, in any plant that do
not and must network more
than eight hours. Yet this bill
SAYS persons not labor, not
men in the shops. not employees
but PERSONS. So that every
man. woman or child on the pay
roll. from president to office boy

A new speaker of the house to sue
coed Murray Gibbons, speaker OF the

principal change in the personnel Of
the lower chamber, members say,
though 1t is freely predicted that

against some of the representatives
who are alleged to have been active
in the pardon and parole business. -
Gibbons has announced he will not
ask to sit in the speakers chair.
II have been intimately connected
with Governor Walton's fight against
mob activities, and therefore feel
some parties in this State would
doubt the acts Of committees ap-
pointed by me-" Gibbons said.
The first woman to ever sit in 3
court of impeachment is q member
of the senate from Hollis, Harmon
county. She is Mrs. Lamar Loony.

NEW YORK Oct The
throngs Of sensation seekers who
crowded Justice Mahoney's court
room today in anticipation Of
hearing spicy, testimony ii the
divorce suit Of W. E. D. Stokes,
millionaire clubman, against his
wife, Helen Elwood Stokes, had
their expectations justified shortly
after the court opened.
Accused by Maid.
Nell Rose Miller, negro maid
formerly employed by Edgar i. WAL
lace, named as correspondent IN the
case, testified that she had seen the
pretty Mrs. Stokes six times IN
Wallace's apartment"
Each time she wore only silk
undergarment-a very thin one, too,
she added.
The wonan's testimony started an
immediate verbal battle between
Samuel Untermyers attorney for
Mrs. Stokes, and Max. D.. Steur, at
torney for the aged millionaire.
Untermyer attacked the witness
credibility as soon as he began cross
"You had a husband i'm carolina

asked.
Eyes; he went to war"
ibid you marry another man
after your husband went to Eu,
YES" admitted the woman, in
spite of Steur's shouted protests.
Squabble Five Minutes.
Then Untermyer, Steur and the
witness all joined in heated SQUAD
BILE which, despite protests from the
bench, went on unchecked for five
minutes, to the keen enjoyment of
the divorce fans" in the courtroom.
Both Stokes and his wife, who
faced each other. sitting about ten
| feet apart, were interested specta-
tors of the row. Stokes sat holding
two heavy brief cases on his knees.
These contain the $4,000 pages of
| evidence upon which he hopes to
prove his wife unfaithful to him.
Mrs. Stokes. titan haired and
pretty, was dressed, as yesterday,
in tailored blue suit and gray fur.
Admits She Told Lie.
After a lengthy wrangle. Inter
myer succeeded in forcing the WON
an to say:
YES, 1 knew was swearing to
lie when I married my second
husband. and said I was a single
woman"
Next he got the witness to admit
that her memory was not good
as to the year she was married.
But you remember seeing Mrs,
Stokes in Wallace's apartment
Eyes, I do" she replied vigor
ously.
Names Only One Man.
Instead of attempting to prove
his wife "a character lower than
the low" as the seventy three'year-
old millionaire sportsman openly
declared he would do he has decided
to fight his case with but one Of
fifty-seven correspondents named.
