DANAHER WARNS LAW vIOLATORS
Supreme Court Upholds Ban on Women WOrk-
 ing After 10 p. m.

Hartford, Conn, July - State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher today announced that em- ployers would be given one week to make necessary adjustments and after that time the law relative to employment of women after 10 o'clock at night would be rigidly en- forced. The strict enforcement of the law is the result of the recent state supreme court decision up- holding the constitutionality of the law.
 The court unanimously sustained the action of Superior Court Judge Kenneth Wynne in refusing an in- junction restraining the state labor commissioner from enforcing the act. The action was based on the contention that, inasmuch as wo- men working in hotels are exempted from the law, waitresses and women entertainers were discriminated against.
 Commissioner Danaher pointed out that although labor department investigators had issued many warn- ings, employers generally disregard ed the warnings while court action was being taken. After the weeks period of grace, however, he added, every violator would be quickly and strictly prosecuted.

Shelton Man Honored
 Guest At Worlds Fair
Michael Brunnen Startled to Learn Millions of Spectators Have Viewed His Photograph in Three Big Propositions Expert Weaver in Firm 42 Years

fornia International Exposition in San Diego in 1885, another 3,000,- 900 saw it at the Texas Centennial in Dallas in 1886, and more than 8,000,000 saw it at the New York Worlds Fair last season. How many millions more will gaze at the life like portrait of a real character during the Forty Fair is in the realm of speculation. But it will be many.
 T was just a small boy when my father taught me to weave at 8 hand loom," Brunnen told the newspaper men. That was home on the Rhineland. I worked there until I was about 30. That was in 1899. Then I came to this country and started work in Shelton. And here am. Forty-two years is a long time. I have seen many changes in life, and especially in the work. -.
 60 Yards A Day!
 "No one today learns to do the fine hand work that we did. No one will take that much time now. And the machines are quite dif- ferent. Now they have a double shuttle. It used to take a man a day to make two yards of fine velvet. Now one man can weave 60 yards in a day on 8 double shuttle loom. That is so fast!"
 Taken through the exhibit and shown other mechanical wonders in the Ford pavilion, Brunnen was almost speeches. with pleasure. He thought Dobbin, the wonder full dancing horse of the comic pantomine "A Thousand Times Neigh" the funniest horse I ever saw in my life" He will be glad to get back to his loom, however, when the excitement of Shelton Looms Day at the Fair dies down.
 "You know" he said, there is something about weaving. It gets into your blood, when you come of family of weavers!"

Michael Brunnen was a very

Michael Brunnen was 8 very happy old man Saturday. For A years he has worked at his weav- ing at the factory of Shelton looms in Shelton, Conn. He knew he was a good weaver, for always the most special jobs have been turned over to him. And why shouldn't he be letter-perfect at his loom? Hadn't his father before him and all his brothers and sis- ters been weavers?
 So Brunnen always took pride in the perfection of his craft. But personal satisfaction in work well done was his usual reward.
 Saturday all was changed. Brun- nen, now 78, was put into his Sum- day best by his only daughter, Mrs. Clara Ritter of Grassy Hill Road, Orange, Conn.,, and hurried abroad a special train for the New York Worlds Fair along with about 300 skilled veterans of his Craft and Shelton Looms officials.
 HOnOred Guest
 Once arrived Brunnen discover ed he was the honored guest of Shelton Looms day at the Fair; that photographs and interviews were in order; and a luncheon in the Executive Dining room with IT company officials and oldest workers.
 Best of all, he was immediately led to 8 large photomural on the wall behind ttS Shelton Looms exhibit in the r-o1u Exposition and introduced to portrait of him. self, which more than 26,00O,000 visitors to four Worlds Fairs have admired. This was the first time he had ever seen the photomural, and the first time he knew that it had been so widely displayed at previous fairs.
 "Ach, this is such a surprise" veteran Brunnen exclaimed. And as H. H. Schell, president of Shell ton Looms began pumping his hand up and down and the cam- eras began to click, the oldest weaver looked pleased as a boy.
 T knew they took my picture at the loom few years ago. but never knew so many people were going to see it." he said, when told it had graced three previous Worlds Fairs. Maybe someone has fallen in love with me from my picture" he added with 8 twinkle.
 More than 100000 visitors saw the portrait of mustached, bald and bespectacled old weaver bending over his loom at the Gen. tury of Progress in Chicago in 1884, 3,000,000 saw it at the Cali
