Fi The Traders Point Hunt is the first to arrange a party. Its sixth annual community gathering on Sept. 26 will arouse a taste for partying, for it entails serious thoughts for the members who enter into the “dress up” spirit.

Given for Landowners

The unforgettable part of this annual party, given for the landowners. who permit their property

to be paneled for hunts, riding ‘and driving masquerades. Saturday, Oct. 3, the Columbia

Club is to have its annual opening | dance, and members will celebrate |

with dinner parties.

Next comes the Indianapolis Ath- | letic Club's first fall dance, on Oct. | 10, when members will dance to a |

' “big time” orchestra to be brought _ here for the occasion. 1

Along about the same time Lambs’ | Club members will be rehearsing for | the Columbia | Club on Oct. 17 for the floor shows | put on by talented members, are]

to continue. Five Parties Scheduled The club has scheduled five par-

ties for the season, and the Christ- | mas holiday event is to_be at the|

Indianapolis Athletic Club. More informal diversion is on the program for Oct. 4 when the Indiana Saddle Horse Association sponsors its annual roundup at Gregg Farm. St. Margaret-Hospital Guild members, for the second year, are to aid in selling tickets and ushering for the benefit of its occupational therapy department at the City Hospital. The roundup is a fleld day for horse lovers. The show horses are paraded but the park horses have their day when they compete in the show. The stunts contribute to the informality of the all-day event.

Labor Day Directs Attention to Laws for Women Workers

BY MISS MARY ANDERSON Director Women’s Bureau, U. S. Department: of Labor (Written for United Press) : WASHINGTON, Sept. 7~To working women on Labor Day 1936, no question assumes greater importance than that of the future of labor legislation. Facts and figures today show women’s special need of labor laws to be just as great as it has been in the past. Now, as always, women carry the double burden of home duties outside their employed hours, and in many cases they have not yet protected themselves through labor unions as have men. Not only are their hours in many industries and localities distressingly long, but their wages remain too often below a subsistence level. In 1935 week’s earnings of less than $10 were being received by onefourth of the women working in the

Few New Laws Appear

A review of the last year shows few new labor Jaws for women ap‘pearing on the state statutes. Rhode Island is the banner state with three important new laws: one reducing the working hours of women, one curtailing industrial home work, and a minimum wage law. A crucial situation for women

workers in 1936 is the impasse in|

regard tosminimum wage legislation in which the states find themselves thrust by the Supreme Court decision of June 1936 invalidating the New York minimum wage law for adult women. The Attorney General of New York has asked the Supreme Court to grant a rehearing on its case. In Washington and Ohio also, the law was brought into the courts; in the first state, to be upheld by the state court but now appealed by the employers to the United States Supreme Court, and in the second state, with a decision still pending in a Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.

Some Progress Made

In spite of this major setback, progress has been made. Rhode Island passed a minimum wage law in March and later appropriated funds to administer the law and New Jersey has begun to administer a minimum wage law passed in 1933. A major step forward for working women was the recent enactment of the Federal Walsh-Healey Act,

providing that from now on the|

Federal government can award contracts for the manufacture or furnishing of materials, equipment, articles and supplies in amounts exceeding $10,000 ' (with certain exceptions) only to firms conforming to fair labor standards. Let us hope that by Labor Day of next year the working women of the country will find in the protection of many more state and Federal laws, fair working conditions and an adequate living: The Legislatures of all but a few of the states hold regular sessions in 1937. A concerted drive against long hours, low

wages, and the evils of industrial

home work should result in real legislative advancement to working women. .
