Mrs. Charles Al- len on Monday, December 6, spoke to the Citizenship school of the League of Women Voters on this bill, explain- ing that women work best on the shorter day schedule. "Women," she said, "are tremendous workers in in- dustry and in the face of such effort and responsibility are not strong enough to stand the gaff." Discussion brought out the fact that not only was the bill tq protect the women from the driving employer but to protect her from her- self. That each young woman is a po- tential mother preserving the human race makes it imperative that she be protected from_ wearing herself out voluntarily or otherwise, physically and mentally before such a time as her family duties should commence. That most women have home responsibili- ties outside of regular employment is an established fact, whereas men's duties generally cease with office hours. This bill applies chiefly to factory workers and to people working in laundries and restaurants. An inteersting counter statement was presented by Mrs. Gross T. Wil- liams, who impressed upon the class the fact that most factories have mod- ern equipment, a personnel service for employes, and the best of conditions under which to work. "Why discrim- inate?" asked Mrs. Williams, pointing out that skilled labor had just as long hours as unskilled labor. A most in- teresting discussion followed this view- point now favoring the eight-hour day and now again doubtful, But with the report of Mrs. Hymen came more arguments. Members of the Y. W. C. A." and Women's Trade Union state that many of the girls they have interviewed are afraid to testify as to the desirability of the eight-hour day over the ten-hour day for fear of losing their positions. It is for the well-being of the race that this bill has been proposed. How shall we meet it? Dr. and Mrs. Arthur H. Murdow of 680 Elm street, have returned from a visit of more than a week in Washing- ton, D. C., and Philadelphia. While in Philadelphia they attended the Sesqui-Centennial exposition, return- ing to Winnetka Thursday, Decem- ber 2. ly Otis Taber of Holton, Kan., spent the last week with his daughter, Mrs. John N. VanderVries of 968 Pine street. Mr. Taber returned to his home the latter part of the week.
