No Long Hours for Women
At a hearing held before
the Minimum Wage Commis
sion of the State at the Capi
tol, a decision was rendered
that the laundries of Little
Rock could not work their wo-1
men employees more than 9
hours a day, in conflificflt with
the state law. Application
was made that the law be sus
pended on the ground that the
laundries could not handle all
their business in nine hours; i
that owing to the government
work it was necessary to work
overtime; that the work could
not be done otherwise. At the j
hearing it developed that the |
laundries were seeking work in j
other cities, even where there j
are landries in some instances,
and that there were laundries
in nearby towns who could
handle the business successful
ly and satisfactorily. After
a lengthy hearing the Commis
sion decided it would be un
wise to suspend the law, as it
was against the policy of the
government to advocate longer
working hours, especially for
women, as such is detrimental
to their health.
Mrs. R. H. McDonald and
charming baby, Chrystine Wil
der, of Weldon, arrived Tues
day and will be the guests of!
the former’s parents, Mr. and j
Mrs. J. W. Wilder, while Mrs. j
McDonald’s brother, Elma, |
who is stationed at Camp Beau
regard, is home.
