U. s . DEPARTMENT OF LABOR W O M E N ' S BUREAtJ SUPPLEMENT TO BULLETIN 16 CHANGES SINCE 1921 IN STATE LAWS AFFECTING WOMEN'S HOURS AND WAGES A great many changes in the legislation regulating hours and wages have been made since the Women's Bureau Bulletin 16, State Laws Affecting Working Women, was issued, and as a revised bulletin can not be issued before next year this supplement has been prepared in order to make available information pertaining to these laws as of July 1, 1923. The hour laws and night-work laws of Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin found in this supplement supersede those found in Bulletin 16. The South Dakota hour law supplements the one in the bulletin. The laws in Chart VI for Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Washington should be substituted for the corresponding sections in Bulletin 16. That of Pennsylvania is supplementary to the material in the bulletin. The nightWork' laws of New Jersey, North Dakota, and Washington and the south Dakota minimum wage law are new legislation, and therefore do not appear in Bulletin 16. The minimum wage awards given for Arizona, Arkansas, and California are substitutes for the same items Bulletin 16. The remaining awards (Kansas, Massachusetts, ^orth Dakota, and Washington) are to be substituted for the entire Action on awards in these States as found in Bulletin 16. The District Columbia minimum wage law has been declared unconstitutional. The chart and map showing mothers' pension laws should not be J^d, as they are not up to date. No information concerning these laws appears in this supplement, as the bureau has discontinued this se t of maps and charts. maps found at the end of Bulletin 16 can not be used unless y are changed to conform to this supplement. 69373°—-24 STATE LAWS_ AFFECTING 2 WORKING WOMEN.
