California Women’s Eight-Hour Workday Bill

An eight-hour work day bill for women passed the California Assembly, without a dissenting voice. Many of the lawyers in the Assembly questioned the constitutionality of the bill, and after an attempt to send the measure to the Judiciary Committee had been defeated, they all voted to pass it to the Senate. Senate lawyers, however, declare it will not stand the test of the courts.
