Night Work For Women In Germany Restricted
Berlin reports the imperial government sent to the federal council a bill to revise the trade ordinance banning night work for women and girls in factories and workshops. It would prohibit any work later than 9 oclock at night or starting earlier than 6 oclock in the morning. A Prussia factory inspectors report notes a sweat shop keeper in Ansberg forced twelve girls to work until 1 a m, initially fined 3125, later reduced to 2. The harshest penalties in Prussia for similar overtime offenses in 1906 were 2 or eighteen days imprisonment for a man and a woman who ran a sweatshop making cloaks.
