As a result of a conference between the American clothing manufacturers' association and the officers of the Amalgamated clothing workers the forty-eight-hour week has been established and an advance in wages amounting to about 12 per cent has been granted, the points for which the men were contending. The agreement makes the forty-eight-hour week the standard for the men's clothing industry thruout the United States, and it has been established in every important center, excepting Philadelphia, where a movement is now on foot to secure an agreement embodying a similar schedule of hours.

A municipality under authority of the constitution and the statutes of a state may, in the exercise of the police power, regulate the conduct of any business in any respect as to that which may involve the public health, safety, or welfare, provided the regulation is reasonably adapted to their protection; but it may not, under the guise of a police regulation, interfere with the constitutional right of a citizen to carry on a legitimate business, harmless in itself, beyond a point reasonably required for the protection of the public.
