8.HOUR NURSING
DAY IS SPREADING
Progress of Campaign Is
Reported at Meeting of
Private Duty Section.

Progress of the drive for an eight
sectional meeting of the private
duty section of the American Nurses
Association, held in connection with
the national biennial nursing conven-
ton, at the Washington Auditorium
yesterday afternoon.
Although the shorter work day has
been adopted in st. Louis and num-
Der of other cities, some hospitals are
still opposing the reduced schedule,
Miss Mary Lee Mitchell, a graduate
nurse, told the section. Headquarters
OF the nurses convention has been
unable to collect complete data on
how far the eight-hour day has been
adopted, although considerable prog
ress is claimed since the drive began
last August.
Miss Mitchell explained that the
peak of unemployment among nurses
was reached in the Summer of 1888,
but it was not until October that it
was first adopted in the st. Louis dis
trict. 1t was made possible, she said,
by the action of the private duty
nurses, who agreed to reduce their
schedules so that the cost for three
nurses under the new plan would cost
no more than two nurses under the
old schedules.
SIS for "a Hours.
The 12-hour schedule called for a
wage Of Sc per day for each of two
nurses, plus $150 each for meals, a
total of SIS per day for two nurses
on duty total of "a hours. The new
rates are S. for eight hours without
any additional allowance for meals,
making a total of SIS per day for
three nurses.
In commenting upon the campaign
for the change, Miss Mitchell said:
'Often doctors say, All the nurses
of the old school are gone-the ones
who stayed with the patient night
and day, never thinking of them
selves He is right-they are gone.
They were worn out before their time.
But wonder if that doctor ever COM
pares the care given his patient with
the care the patient receives now.
Since the ultimate aim of the nursing
profession is the best possible nursing
care, how better can we guarantee
that care than by reasonable work.

ITO have some one fresh and alert
to come on duty after eight hours

covery"
AT the same meeting. at which Miss
Gladys Luckey of El Paso, Tex, vice
chairman of the Private Duty Sec
ton. presided. Sister Olivia, director
of nursing education at Catholic Uni
verSity, read a paper on Tradition or
Progress" in which she traced the

editor of the American Journal of

more absolutely than over one-half of
the States, more than ten of the
States combined and more per capita
than all of the States except seven,
and receives in return no representa-
ton in the House, though the Consti-
tuition couples inseparably Representa-
tives and direct national taxes, such
procedure seems equitable. In fair
ness in this connection it should also
be considered that the Nation has
heretofore not only denied national
representation to the national tax
paying District but has also until very
recently excluded the District in dis
tributing hundreds of millions of dol
lars in bounties and subsidies to the
States. 1t is also to be remembered
that the national taxes paid by resi-
dents of the District in contributions
to the customs revenues of the Nation
will still remain in the Treasury for
national uses. By this procedure the
Nation would contribute to the
National Capital municipal mainte-
nance and upbuilding no dollar that
had not been paid in national taxes
by the people of the District them
selves.
1t could not reasonably be protested
that such repayment of its own money
should not be made to the District,
since already in national bounties or
subsidies to the States Gin which the
District has not heretofore been per-
mitted to participate) several States
have received even more from the ma
tional Treasury in the shape of such
bounties and subsidies than they have
paid into the Treasury in national
internal revenue taxes. If the Nation
can thus make subsidy payments to
even few Of the States (for purposes
which under original Jeffersonian
principles are unconstitutionaO of
more than these States pay in ma
tional taxes, surely there could be no
reasonable objection to a return to the
District of this part of it's contri-
button Of national taxes, the Nation
retaining in the Treasury the con-
tributions of District residents to
customs revenues, especially as ma
tional contribution for the upbuilding
Of the National Capital has always
and everywhere been recognized as a
constitutional and proper national ex-
penditure.
Political equity and financial equity
for the District have always been in
separately interviewer. The people Of
the District urgently petition for both
equities. In the New Deal era of
America no other Americans need a
new deal more distinctly than the un-
Americanized Americans of the Dis
trict. Give US then a New Deal.

To accomplish this the Supreme
Court is granted authority to determ-

UTILITY REFORM
BILLS MADE LAW
Gov. Lehman Signs Nine
Measures "GreatIy in
Public Interest"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, April 25.-Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman proudly signed
nine Of his utility reform bills into
law last night, describing them as
greatly in the public interest"
The new laws permit New York
municipalities to sell electric light and
gas, facilitate rate reduction and put
fresh restrictions on private utility
companies. They represent all but two
OF the proposals In the Governors IL
point utility program.
Eleventh Bill Pending.
The Governor previously signed q
bill for State control over gas trans
mission lines. His eleventh bill, re-
quiring public letting Of large utility
construction contracts, is pending in
committee.
Enactment of the laws Is the
elimination Of battle between Gov.
Lehman and the utility companies
that began when he took Office on
January /, 1888. Twice the Legisla-
ture rejected his bills. The fight
reached its climax about a month ago
when letters written by State Senator
Warren T. Thayer, a former Repub.
lican chairman of the Senate Public
Service Committee, to the Associated
Gas and Electric Co., were read to the
Federal Trade Commission.
The Lehman bills emerged from a
state of committee stagnation, and
within a few hours were on their Way
through the legislative mill.
Since 1t became apparent that the
Governors legislation was going to
pass, several municipalities have con-
sidered municipal power plants. Among
them is Albany.
The municipal ownership bill per-
mits municipalities to undertake power
projects with the approval of voters
and councilmen.
Other Law Purposes.
The purposes Of the other new laws
are:
l. Permit extension of existing vii
lage lighting systems.
2. Charge part of rate investigation
costs against utility companies.
3. Charge certain filing fees against
the companies.
4. Permit immediate temporary rate
reductions to avoid court delays.
5. Require payments of unclaimed
customers deposits to the State
treasury.
6. Better State control over holding
companies
7. Permit utility companies to use
only reasonable" sums for certain
operating expenses.

acted into law last night two bills
extending emergency mortgage relief
legislation until July !, 1885.

Slave 10 Hours a Day at
Wall Street Gamblers
Estate in New York State
BY a Worker Correspondent

PORTCHESTER, N. Y.-There
are about 60 of us working at the
estate of a Wall Street gambler,
DR.. Palermo, Route %, New York
State, between White Plains and
Bankville. About a year ago he
stated that a worker is not worth
more than so cents a day and this
for working hours per day,
making roads, cleaning the lake.
etc. We are compelled to get up
at $50 in the morning, and get
back home at $50 in the evening.
We are not paid for time lost on
account of rain, or other causes.
On May %, some of us decided
to go on strike, but we suffered a
defeat because there are workers
of many different nationalities,
and we couldn't get along among
ourselves. The Spanish, Portu-
guese, Russian, Polish, four Ital-
ians and a few Negroes were in
favor of the strike to demand so
cents an hour Qater we cut our
demand to AGO.. But nothing
came out of this because the rest
of the workers who are the ma
jority we're against the strike, es-
pecially one Mike Scarpo. We ur-
gently request the language papers,
particularly the Italian, Spanish,
Russian and Polish to print this.
