A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO
ALL THE JOURNAL READERS.
The Yuletide, season is upon us with
its accompanying spirit of Christmas
'living. From the mansion of the rich
to the humble cottage of the poor, many
is the heart that will be made glad to
morinw by the remembrances of lov
ing relatives and friends. No matter
how the cares of business or the trials of
every day life may oppress us during
the year, at this time we lay them aside
for the moment and enter the joys of
the Yuletide. Theie is a joy in giving,
no matter what the, intrinsic value of
the gift. And. leaving the material
side of the season aside, isn't the great
est gift we can give, just ourselves':
Boy, you are 3,000 miles away, perhaps,
from your Eastern home. You came
west to make your fortune and you
weren't here long before you were sadl,'
disillusioned, You found out that the
costliest present you can give that old
father and mother away back East,
who are wondering how it fares with
their boy, is a loving letter just at this
time': Try it. If we have ceased those
little, loving attentions to the wife,
and family, which used to mean so much
to them, the best gift we can give them
is to renew them. If we have neglected
our civic tint ies. the greatest gift we
can bestow is to resolve in the future
to do our share towards creating a bet
ter citizenship. Don't you sec thai then
are greater things than the mere giving
of material Christmas gifts: We can
give) ourselves, and in so doing we help
to exemply the spirit of the Lowly
Xazarene.
The briirhesi ray iv tindustrial
conflict is tbe work that is being ps
saved by several women of wealth and
power in several Eastern cities. Like
a ray of sunshine from a clouded sky
eomen tbe news ot what Mrs. Belmont
sad Miss Morgan in New York City
are doing to help the striking garment
workers, in their battle fur better work
ing conditions. Mrs. t). If. P. Belmont
is reported to have mortgaged her home
lor $I(Mi,(MS» to aid tho striking girls and
the cause of women's suffrage. She left
her home at :i a. in. the other morning
to give bail for several girls who had
been iun-feted for doing picket duty
anil took them to her home for the
night. In addition to that she is Mtid
to havp hired able legal talent to de
fend the girls in the courts and to test
the ant i picketing law. She and Miss
Morgan, who is the daughter of -J.
Pierpont. by the way. havp assumed
charge of the strike of the garment
workers in New York City and have
l>een bitterly assailed by the manufac
turers for these "pernicious activity."
The scoffer, of course, will say that
this is only a fad on the part of these
wealthy women Whether it is a fad or
not, it doesn't make mu<h difference if
they get results. We only wish there
were more such faddists. In Chicago
there is a noble woman, refined, cul
tured and wealthy, who is giving her
wealth and her gieat talent to the
amelioration of conditions nf working
women. This is Mrs. Raymond Robbins.
president of the National Women's
Trade I'nion League. The example that
theM women are setting is sure to be
emulated by other wealthy women and
who shall say that the dawn of a
brighter day for the working women
and girls of the country is not in sight.
(!od speed th»>se women in their work
of humanity.
We may be pardoned for wondering
if Mr. A. X B. Jordan expresses the
sentiments of the citizens of Lowell or
the owners of the paper mill.

ers of Suet-ess maga/im- front their read

jar yon?
The action of the local wet goods
dispensers in raising a Christmas fund
for the poor of the city does the gentle
men mtteh credit, but it is a safe bet
that the innovation will not be haled
with much acclaim by sundry citizens
who have been iv the habit of acquir
ing a large stated Christmas* Jag at the
evp'yise of the saloon keepers.
No mutter what the weather Predic
tions may be it promises to be a "dry

of Eastern Washington.
The laundry workers of Seattle are
forming « union. They have the right
tip that it is easier and better to rely

vacillating labor commissioner.

WORKDAY FOR WOMEN
Is It Unconstitutional to Limit
Hours of Toil?
A QUESTION OF LIBERTY.
Illinois Supreme Court Soon to Decide
on Legal Status of the "Girls' Bill."
Provisions of the Law—A View of
Both Sides.
Is it unconstitutional tv limit the
workday of women employed In fne- 1
lories or laundries to ten bourn? Is It
an Infringement Bpon their "liberty"
protected by the fourteenth amend
s luent of the federal constitution? Or—
t Is it Inhuman for any one to make a
, woman work more? than ten hours a
I day? Is It a mockery to sny that It Is
„ an infringement upon woman's liberty
t . lo protect her "health, safety, morals
and general welfare" by limiting her
working hours within reasonable
bounds 1
These are tbe questions which the
supreme court of the state of Illinois
will be called upon to decide lv the
near future. Upon tbe right luterpre
, till ton' of the word "liberty" In the
fourteenth ninendmeut will depend the
life <*r death of the "girls' bill," as
this law is known, which was passed
■ at the closing moments of the Forty-
S sixth session of the Illinois legislature
1 last spring and which went Into effect
■ on July 1.
The tight for the life of the law, the
effort to steer the "girls' bill" safely
, through the legal rocks and quibbles
- which its enemies have been and will
- be putting in its way, will be made by
1 Louis 1). Brnndcis from Oregon, who
after a prolonged fight against a sim
. liar ten hour law by the manufacturers
of Oregon succeeded In having the su
preme court of the United States de
clare the law constitutional. Attorney
Brandels goes to Chicago at tbe in
vitation of State Attorney John E. ,
W. Wnymau, who, with Chief Factory
Inspector Edgar T. Da vies. Is a de
fendant lv the case because of bis at
tempt to enforce the law.
The fight for the life of the ten hour
law for women is at present the most
engrossing topic in labor circles, with
the Woman's Trades Union league, the .
State Federation of Women's Clubs
and social and sociological workers -
generally.
The law as it was adopted by the
Illinois legislature last spring provides .
"that no female shall be employed In 1
any mechanical establishment or fac- *
tory or laundry In this state more than -
ten hours during any one day."
Its passage was looked upon as a ('
great victory as well as a "wedge" for ~
further legislation In the Interest of .
women workers In factories and oth- q
er mechanical establishments. When —
Chief Factory Inspector Dnvles began
to enforce tbe law after July 1, W. C. 0
Ritchie of the paper box mauufactur- —
lug concern of tbe same name secured E'
an injunction against Factor Inspector "~
Da vies and State Attorney Wayman. Pj
preventing them from enforcing tbe
ten hour law lv bis factory. —
According to tbe opponents of tbe D
ten hour law. Its enforcement will in- »
terfere with business considerably. Be
sides, many of them argue that tbe
enforcement of the law prohibiting
women from working more than ten -
hours a day will be a hardship to their
j women employees, who are glad to V
I have the opportunity to work twelve
'and fourteen hours a day, as they can _
earn more that way and can support
their families, which tbey could not
do If their workday was limited to
ten hours only.
It is pointed out that the enforce- -
ment of tbe ten hour law would do
away with overtime and night work
jin busy seasons and thus would hurt ~
business. At least it would hurt It
until tbe factories and their clients
throughout the country will have be- j
come accustomed to It and will have
made different working arrangements
which it would necessitate.
Thus, a factory employing fifty girls, j
but making them work overtime dur- -
ing the holiday season, would at that
season have to employ sixty or seven
ty girls if the ten hour law were en
forced. This would require more space
in tbe factory, more machines and an
extensive change in arrangements.
Tbe customers of the factory likewise
would have to be notified to put in
their holiday orders earlier than they
were accustomed to do, as tbe factory
would not be able to fill these orders
If they came late In the season.
Tbe friends of the ten hour law,
however, say that the Inconveniences
which the manufacturers will be sub
jected to by its enforcement will be
overcome quickly enough. On tlie oth
ier hand, the benefits to the women, to
their children. If they are married, and
to those yet unborn—the benefits to
womanhood, motherhood, the gain to
country at large—will more than atone
for the Inconveniences to a compara
tively small number of manufacturers.
As for the other argument tbat the
women workers themselves will lose
by the enforcement of bpls new law.
those who champion it declare that
ran be easily remedied by having the
employers pay better wages. Any wo
man, they declnre, who works ten
hours a day ought to be able to earn
her livelihood lv that time.
Among the chief arguments for the
ten hour law are the HI effects which
long hours have upon tbe physical wel
fare of women. It Is pointed out by
the champions of the new law that
longer hours of work for women Is
nothing short of a national calamity.
Long hours of work result In wasted
iif .dies of the women workers, and this
ts reflected In their children.— Ellas
