Essex Junction Vermont faces debate over repealing a 50 hour work limit for women. Arthur E. George of the Vermont Labor Council says surveys show many working women want change, while some who work to augment husbands' earnings prefer the restriction remain.

The commission also formed five subcommittees to study equal pay, politics, abortion law, labor conditions, and unmarried mothers among women's career issues.
