DESCRIPTION:I use newly digitized micro datasets to evaluate one of the fir
 st-ever labor regulations in Belgium: a maximum 9-hour workday in coal mine
 s in 1910. On average\, hourly wages and employment increased. However\, th
 ese effects were size-dependent: hourly wages decreased in small firms\, wh
 ile all employment gains were concentrated in large firms. I rationalize th
 ese results in a directed search model where firms with heterogeneous TFP p
 ost vacancies\, hours\, and wages while internalizing workers' leisure pref
 erences. Monopsony power leads to long hours. When hours are capped\, a fir
 m either increases wages to substitute lost hours with new hires\, or cuts 
 wages to restore markdowns. Which mechanism dominates depends on firm size\
 , even holding monopsony power constant. Welfare analysis with sufficient s
 tatistics suggests that the 1910 reform improved workers' welfare.\\n\\nCon
