firms or corporations now engaged in such manufacture in such tenement
or dwelling-house or other building, shall apply for such permit on or before
July 1, 1902, and annually thereafter at the same date. The said permit

manufacture of any of the articles mentioned in this section, or giving out
the incomplete materials from which they or any of them are to be made, or
to be wholly or partially finished, or employing persons in any tenement
or dwelling-house, or other building, to make, wholly or partly finish, the
articles mentioned in this section, shall keep a written register of the names

This and the following sections held constitutional and valid, under the police
power, as health regulations. If a statute passed for protection of health, morals or
safety has no real or substantial relations to those objects, the courts will declare it

legislative authority may be enquired into by courts. This and the following sections
apply to tenements, etc., where garments are manufactured for sale. State v. Hyman,
