Vollmer bill reshapes women labor laws in union clash
In Columbus on March 13, labor forces and administration clashed in the House over Vollmer woman's nine hour workday measure. The bill, amended to include house servants, passed second reading amid concerns over vast powers granted to a new industrial commission. The vote was 57 to 58 as labor leaders warned of wage jeopardy, while limits keep nine hour women and eight hour public contract rules intact. The bill consolidates several departments under the commission effective September 1, 1913, broadening state oversight of labor and industry.
