(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 1. (Special.) The su
preme court ha affirmed lh Judgment of
th dlitrlct court of Douglaa county In
tha caae of tha State against The German
Baring Bank of Omaha. The opinion la bjr
Commissioner Oldham, Commissioner round
concurring In a aeparata opinion. It I
held that the evidence does oat show any
abuae of discretion of the trial court In
approving the compromise of doubtful
clalma with certain stockholders of the
Institution.
This Is the ninth time the case has been
reviewed In the supreme court, either for
relief from soma order, Judgment or find
ing of the district court of Douglas county
In closing up tha affairs of the German
Bavlnga bank or for mandate to compel the
judge to settle bills of exception or to
approve bond. On July 23, 1894, Thomas
'H. McCague waa appointed receiver of the
aavlnga bank and after much litigation
aucceeded In the early part of 1901 In dis
posing of the assets. From tha proceed
of the aala of these assets a dividend of
li per cent waa paid to the depositors
and on May t the court found that all as
aeta of the bank had' been exhausted aud
that there bad been about $300,000 due to
depositors when the bank failed and that
after applying the proceeds of the sale tf
the assets there still remained due the de
positor about $200,000. The court found
that there had been subscribed and Issued
of the capital stock of the savings bank
$500,000, divided Into 5,000 shares of the
par value of $100 each It also found that
there waa no way left to pay all the debta 1
except by collecting the liabilities due from
tha stockholders and ordered the receiver
to bring ault against the stockholders for
, their unpaid subscriptions of stock, aa well
aa for their double liability. Concerning
these ordera and findings of tha district
court there la, no complaint. Shortly after
ult had been ordered to be Instituted
against tha stockholders a proposition of
compromise was made by certain stock
holders to the receiver, in which they pro
posed to pay in round number $103,000 In
aettlement of their liabilities. The re
ceiver recommended that the compromise
be accepted.
aetata Female Labor Law.
Th court sustains the female labor law.
The case involving the constitutionality of
thla law was appealed from Douglaa
county, where the proprietor of the Non-
parell Steam Laundry was convicted and
lined for violating the provisions of the
act. The opinion la by Judge Barnes.
The syllabus of the opinion follow:
The act of the legislature approved
March 31, 18S9. "To regulate and limit tho
hours of employment of females In manu
facturing, mechanical and mercantile ea
tabllxhments, hotel and restaurants, to
rtrovlde for Ita enforcement and a penalty
for ita violation," contains but one sub
ject, and In Its terms is no broader than
Its title. In which ita subject la clearly ex
pressed. Such a law doea not amend the act of
183, to protect the health of females em
ployes in atorea, offices and schools. It la
an act complete in itself and Is not re
pugnant to the provisions ot aectlon 11 of
article 111 of the constitution.
The law aa expressed therein ha a uni
form and general application to all women
msoyod In the establishments described
thereta,- and is not class legislation within
tne meaning ot section 15, article ill, of
the constitution.
The act in effect la only a fair and rea
sonable exercise ot the police power. It
does not deprive any cltlsen of his property
or tha reasonable uae thereof without duo
process of law; It does not prohibit the
right of contract. It merely regulate the
am In a reasonable manner. It is there
fore not in conflict with th constitution
and la in all thlnga valid.
Following are the vital aectlona of th
law:
Section L That no female shall be em
ployed In any manufacturing, mechanical
or mercantile establishments, hotel or res
taurant In thla state more than sixty hours
during any one week, and that ten hours
shall constitute a day' labor. The hours
of each day may be so arranged as to
permit the employment of such females
at any time from o'clock a. m. to 10
o'clock p. m., but In no case shall such
employment exceed ten hours In any one
day.
Bee. 1N Every auch employer shall post
In a conspicuous place. In every room where
auch females are employed, a printed no
tice stating the number ot hours' work re
' quired of them each day ot the week, the
hour of commencing and stopping auch
work and the hours when the time or
times allowed for dinner or for other meals
begins and ends. Printed forms of such
notice shall be furnished by the deputy
labor commissioner and the form ot such
police approved by the attorney general of
this state.
Bee. I. Every auch employer In auch
establishment shall orovlde auttable seats
for tha females so employed and shall
permit th use of auch seata by them when
mey are noi nnrwaniy viigaeu

Bee. 4. Any employer, overseer, superin
tendent or other agents of such employer
who shall violate any ot th provisions of
this act ahall be fined for each offense any
mm not leas than $20 nor more than too.
and It la pereoy made tne duty or tne aep
utv labor commissioner to enforce the nro
visions of this act; provided, however, that
nothing In this act shall be construed to
prevent any other person from enforcing Its
provisions.
Ward of th Stat.
la th opinion Commissioner Barnes says
women and children have always, to a
certain extent, been warda of the state.
Women In recent years have been partly
emancipated from their common law dis
abilities; they now have a limited right to
contract; they may own property, real and
tersonal. In their own right and may en
gage In business on their own account, but
they are governed and ran take no part In
municipal affairs. They are unable
by reason of their physical limitations
to endure the same hours of exhaustive
labor aa may be endured by adult males;
certain kinds of work which may be per
formed by men without Injury to their
health would wreck the constitutions and
destroy tha health of women, and render
them Incapable of bearing their share of
the burdens or tne lamny ana tne nome.
The state must be accorded the right to
guard and protect women as a class against
auch a condition and tha law In question,
to that extent, conaervea th publto health
and welfare. Of the many vocation In this
country comparatively few are open to
women; their field for remunerative labor
la restricted: competition for places therein
Is necessarily great. The desire for place
and In many Instances the necessity of ob
taining employment would subject them to
hardships and exactions which they would
not otnerwise endure.
