Factory equipment, housekeeping and supervision: a handbook for employers of women, containing the provisions of the statutes regarding labor standards and suggestions for improved equipment and housekeeping
The Industrial Commission of Wisconsin was responsible for regulating the working conditions for male and female factory workers. In this book, the Commission describes the statutes regulating the hours that women could work as well as the conditions that must be in place to meet state statutes. The statutes were very specific, providing details for the number of chairs at lunch tables to even the type of soap to be used in the restroom
