ny day for more than two and a half hours, nor before 8 A.M. or after 8 P.M. For overtime work the employees shall receive double the usual pay. No contracting or subcontracting shall be permitted by the firm inside its factory, and no operator or finisher shall be permitted more than one helper. XIII. No work shall be given employees to be done at their homes. XV. Only members of respective locals above named shall be employed by the firm to do the said work.] [Footnote 27: Mr. London for the cloak makers, and Mr. Cohen for the manufacturers.] [Footnote 28: Stenographic minutes of the Brandeis conference.] [Footnote 29: This decision met with disapproval, not only on the East Side. The New York _Evening Post_ said: "Justice Goff's decision embodies rather strange law and certainly very poor policy. One need not be a sympathizer with trade-union policy, as it reveals itself to-day, in order to see that the latest injunction, if generally upheld, would seriously cripple such defensive powers as legitimately belong to organized labor."

The chairman of said price committee of the employees shall act as the representative of the employees in their dealings with the employer. The weekly hours of labor shall consist of 50 hours in 6 working days, to wit, nine hours on all days except the sixth day, which shall consist of five hours only. No overtime work shall be permitted between the fifteenth day of November and the fifteenth day of January, or during the months of June and July, except upon samples. No overtime work shall be permitted on Saturdays, exce
