Friday, March 30, 1900. Child and Female Labor.

France, effective on this day, reduced the workday for women and children from 12 hours to 11 hours.

Current American Republicans would likely find that abhorrent.

The law provided further that on April 1, 1902, the workday would go to 101⁄2 hours and to ten hours by April 1, 1904.

Father Leonardo Murialdo, 71, founder of the Congregation of Saint Joseph died.. He was canonized by Pope Paul VI on May 3, 1970.

Last edition:

Tuesday, March 27, 1900. Gen. Joubert dies.
