FOR EMPLOYEES PROTECTION
When S. B. No. 63. providing for the
payment of employees in mines, mills
and smelters, came up, there was a
fight
Snow wanted to strike out the en-
acting clause which was seconded by
Evans
Speaking to his motion, Snow said
he believed the passage of the law
would ruin many people. The Provo
mills will be compelled to shut down
any many others
Mr.. Sutherland did not believe the
enacting clause ought to be stricken
out; rather, the bill should be amended.
1t would prevent many abuses which
now prevail. In the mining camps
there are mines which compel men to
trade at the company store and board
at company boarding houses 1t would
prohibit the issuing of the factory
scrip, now so common. The weight
of the authorities is with the consti-
tutionality IF the law.
Mr.. Jones. who was absent when
the motion was made, expressed a re-
greet at not having heard the argu-
ments against the bill, if any there
were. He wanted to know what ar
gument could be advanced for paying
a man in truck" Every person who
works should be paid in cash-coin of
the realm. He had occasion to visit
Provo a few weeks ago to try to col
lect some interest on a mortgage. The
mortgagor is a man who has worked
in the factory there for some years.
"He informed me-" said Mr.. Jones,
that he did not get cash enough to
pay his taxes. He was paid in cloth
and when he got a chance to dispose
of some of it for cash, he discovered
many times that the factory people
went around and undersold him .
From the appearance of matters it
looked as though pants" were legal
tender in Provo. If Senator Cham
bers, who is a heavy mine owner, was
here he would object to this bill.
Mr.. Snow-I object to the senator's
language about Mr.. Chambers. who
is absent. The senator cannot tell how
he would vote.
II am merely making an argument
in my own way" was the retort. land
my language is parliamentary"
Proceed" said the chair
II infer from the remarks of the
senator that he is interested in some
mandatory down in Washington
county," said Jones, ''and-'
CIV President" said Snow, ct OBJ
ject to my motives being impugned in
this manner"
1.-The senator is using parliamentary
language" said the chair CMr. Allison),
land the chair cannot stop him"
Mr.. Jones proceeded with his re-
marks against the bill, declaring that
the miners in the state needed protec-
ton from existing evils and ought to
have it.
Chidester argued that the passage
of the law would cripple the factories,
| mills and mines in southern Utah, be-
cause they could not pay cash, and
to cripple them means disaster to the
