Former Official 5 Fined For Violating Eight Hour Law
Former Metropolitan laundry official W H Weaver convicted of violating the eight hour law for women. He was fined 25 dollars and costs in two cases for forcing Amy Harris and Edith Noak to work nearly nine hours on September 13. The 14 year old Noak girl’s case made him liable only under child labor restrictions. Harris and Noah testified they worked about nine hours and Weaver claimed a mangling machine breakdown rushed the day. The deputy prosecutor showed a scheme to place a gang in the laundry to pressure early quitting rather than enforce overtime limits.
