busiest ports of the world the vast
est and most expensive feet of pleas
ure and racing craft in its history for
the annual Gold Cup regatta for
motor craft opening tomorrow.
In addition to many of the 2S9 en-
tries for the events of the four-day
program, hundreds of boats ranging
from the sleek racing craft TO the ma
jestic cruiser and sailing yacht rode
at anchor in the waters of the metrop-
oils. Preparations had been made to-
day by the Gold Cup committee for an
choring 1000 yachts alone, while float
ing grandstands offered accommoda-
tions for I 1000 spectators.
Tomorrow's events will be prelimi-
nary TO the maj jor racing contests

the big water meet. Much of this sum
has been invested in the boats which
will compete in the Gold Cup events on
Saturday. Although Caleb Bragg's
Bootlegger, winner last year, and His
Runnin' Wild prevail as favorites,
Miss Columbia of the Columbia Yacht
Club had many supporters. Baby
America II, piloted by Gar Wood. win
ner of many Gold Cup events, also is
figured to make a strong bid for the
100000. trophy. New speed records are
generally predicted.

magnesium flares of 5000 candlepower
each will be provided Saturday night
at 10 o'clock. The light will illuminate

LAWS FOR
WOMEN
Survey Reveals That Many
Are Working Long Hours
in Textile Factories
BY HARRY WARD.

Legislation by the States to in
sure all women in industry against
an over-long working day was
urged today by the Women's Bu-
reau of the Department of Labor
in making public report of con-
ditions in the three great woman
employing industries - clothing
textiles and mercantile stores.
The. survey revealed that many
women in these industries were
compelled to work more than
fifty hours q week.
Thirteen States Studied.
Thirteen states and 162,792 women
were the basis for the study, which
was conducted in New Jersey, Ohio
Rhode Island, Maryland, Alabama
Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa
Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolins
and Virginia.
more than a quarter of all the
1852, ,792 women were found to be
working more than fifty hours q
week" the report stated. 'Of those
1852 were on a fifty.five hour
schedule, and 2,945 were on a
schedule of sixty hours or more. :
It was shown that one-third Of
all the women, however, had q
scheduled week Of fOrty-eight hours
or less, Rhode Island, New Jersey
and Maryland topping the list with
IS per cent, 55 per cent and So per
cent OF the women in each State,
respectively, showing such a
schedule.
An overwhelming majority Of
South Carolina workers, on the
other hand. regularly put in more
than fifty-four hours week, while
in both Georgia and Alabama prac.
tically two-thirds OF the women had
scheduled week of more than fifty.
four hours.
Where Days Are Long.
While a day of between eight and
nine hours was found to be most
common in the clothing industry.
a ten-hour day was customary for
the largest group OF textile workers.
Only 6 per cent Of the textile
workers had a week OF forty-fouI
hours or less in contrast with 32.4

dustries had a week of fifty five
hours or more, while less than ;
ner cent of the clothing workers
had 80 long a week.
Among the mercantile employees
over one-half had an eight-hour
day. while 29.7 per cent were sched-
uled to work less than eight hours
q day.
Need Law Cited.
In comparing legal hours in
states where they existed with
schedules actually in practice, the
report pointed out that almost
one.han of the women workers
under the protection of a nine.
hour law had an actual scheduled
day shorter than this, and of those
working in states with a ten.hour
law. more than three-fourths were
actually employed in plants where
the regular working day was les.
The revelation that some en-.
ployers have hour policies in ad-
vance of those set by law does
not indicate, the report says, that
there is no need for hour limita-
ton by means OF legislation, for
the fact must not be overlooked that
where no legal limitation exists
there are always some plants that
are ru .ling excessively long
hours"
