43STATES LIMIT
HOURSFO WOMEN
Bureau Presses for New
Laws to Aid Female Work.
erS in Industry.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Only five States now place no limits,
either by the day or week, on the
working hours of women, according to
the Womens Bureau. They are Ala
bama, Florida, Indiana, Iowa and
West Virginia.
All the others have made some at
tempt, if only in certain industries, to
follow the general trend toward a
shorter work week.
Facts about State working hours
have been gathered by the bureau in
anticipation of the first half of this
year which will see the end of the
period set for industrial codes and
the meeting of most of the State Leg
islatures. The bureau hopes that
either a continued N. r. A. or new
State laws will preserve the shorter
hour week gained by workers the last
year or so.
IL States Set 8-HOur Day.
The shortest daily hours set by the
States is the eight-hour day. 1t has
been established in II States for GER
tain occupations which employ large
groups of women. The States are Ari-
zona. California. Colorado, Kansas,
Montana. Nevada, New Mexico, New
York, Oregon, Utah, Washington
Wyoming and the District of Co.
lumbia.
Another 10 States have set the 48-
hour week, which permits short and
long days
Twelve States have adopted the
nine-hour day, and another II the 10
hour day. There are five States which
limit hours, but they are in excess of
10 hours a day. The States are New
Hampshire, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Vermont.
Laws Vary Widely.
Mary Anderson, director of the
Women's Bureau, points out that if
N. r. A. regulations are to be dropped
there are deficiencies in State laws
which should be corrected. In many
States, only certain occupations are
covered by the limitation of working
hours. The industries vary from State
to State, leaving the employer in a
State with working-ho laws at the
mercy OF his competitor across the
State line.
In some States there are regula-
tions, but they permit unusually long
hours. This is true in some of the
largest industrial States. For example,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, permit
the l0-hour day with 54-hour week
The women who have most gener-
ally come under working-hour laws
are those in factories and stores, the
bureau found. Another large group
covered to lesser extent includes
women in laundries, hotels, restau-
! rants, places of amusements, tele-
phone and telegraph exchanges and
express and transportation Offices.
