STATE SUPREME
COURT DECISION
Women Entertainer Can.
not Be Employed After
Ten at Night

Hartford, Conn, June 26.-(UP)
The state supreme court today up
held constitutionality OF q state law
prohibiting employment Of women
and minors In Connecticut between
the hours Of 10 p. m. and 0 O. m.
except In hotels.
The court unanimously sustained
the action OF Superior Court Judge
Kenneth Wynne In refusing an In
junction permitting the employment
OF q woman entertainer In O Bridge
port restaurant after 10 p. m.
The appeal for an injunction re-
straining State Labor Commissioner
Cornelius j. Danaher from enforce
Ing the statute was made by Bea-
tricb Dof1court, her restaurant EN-
ployers, and @ voluntary association
OF Bridgeport women entertainers.
The opinion, written by Chief JUS
tice william M. Maltble, said:
"That @ law, general III Its appli-
cation, has little justification o. re-.
CARDS certain individuals within ita
scope and imposes upon them PEE
cuiIar hardshlps, ID not o basis for
holding II invalid II " applies
equally 10 all within the claSsifi-
cation and as q general rule SUBJ
stantially promotes public health
morals or the general welfare.
Nor does tho exception OF hotela
from the act Justify III In holding
the law invalid as making on ufi-
constitutional discrimination"
Miss DonCourt claimed her work
In no way injured her health. She
sold that since she was barred from
her Job by law she was unable 10
obtain employment, except irregt,-
larry.
I'VE agree with the trial court
Justice Maltbie concluded, "that the
prohibition In question applies 10 The
employment pirstied by tho plaintiff
Doncourt and the members Of the
plaintiff association and constitutes
q valid exercise by tho legislature Of
It's police power"

CITIES REQUESTED
TO ENFORCE LAWS
Laxity Shown in Respect
to Speed Limits, Charges
Chairman

Lax enforcement Vt posted speed
limits, said TO prevail In some COM
Tiunities In the state, is being given
tho consideration OF the Highway
Safety commission, Vernon o. More.
house, chairman, said today.
There are communities In which
the legally established speed limits
are not always enforced by local au-
thorities," Major MorehoIse said ~
pointing out that the commission
has recommended 10 the three-nlem-
Der State Traffic commission that
speed limits be revoked ~ any CON-
inunity where the traffic commission
Is satisfied that the law Is not being
enforced by local authorities.
Major Morehouse noted In this
connection that Section 1851 OF the
1880 statutes provides that action may
be brought against local officers fof
nonfeasance or miSfeagance. The
commission hopes however, Chair
man Morehouse said, 10 arouse pub
lie concern over the situation 80 that
~ win be unnecessary TO take formal
action.
A resolution covering this matter,
adopted by the Highway Safety COM
mission, states that speed and viola
ton Of speed laws Is the greatest
single cause OF accidents, Lack OF
enforcement. the resolution poifltf
out, iiistills O latent thought In the
drivers mind that speed signs may
be ignored anywhere and at any
time"

NO LENIENCY FOR
FINE DELINQUENT
Court Refuses to Amend
Decision Sending De.
PENDANT to Jail

Judge John L. Gaffney today
ruled that the embarrassment OF
being picked up at a place Of en-
ployment and hurried to jail Is not
enough.
The Judge then denied a motion
BY Attorney Ralph Coppetto to
make O different disposition In
the case Of William Bowling, "a, OF
IS Washington street, who was
picked up at the Scoyiil Company
yesterday and hurried away to the
county jail because he failed to ap-
pear In court to pay a fine imposed
on him O month ago.
Attorney Coppetto argued that
the fact that Bowling was snatched
from his work was sufficient pun
ishment and should teach him the
power Of the court. The Judge said,
however, that Bowling will have TO
suffer o more concrete punishment.
Prosecuting Attorney Michael j.
Qalullo said, Ia this regard, that
the jail sentence will be diminished
according to the amount Of the fine
that Bowling pays.
Bowling was fined $50 and costs
on O charge Of driving while his IL
cense was suspended. His trial was
May IS OF which time he was CIV
