Wisconsin Commission Sets Hours for Women in Pea Canning
Madison June 12 The industrial commission issues new orders governing women’s work hours in Wisconsin pea packing. In 1913 eighty factories produced 73 million cans of peas valued at about six million dollars. Women and children worked, with limits of 12 hours per day during rush periods and up to fifteen such days, plus nine and a half hours rest between shifts, under safety standards. Fines last year were collected from fifteen firms.
