Work Eight Hours, While Some

State Labor Commissioner J. Hub
bard announced several days ago
that he will visit North Yakima in
the near future.
1t is highly probable that with the
visit of Mr.. Hubbard will mean a
radical change for several Of the city
employees including possibly a re-
duction of working hours for the po-
licemen and the firemen.
1t is stated that the state law calls
for an eight hour day for city en-
ployes when these are working much
longer. According to good authority
State Labor Commissioner Hubbard
is to visit North Yakima principally
to cut down the working hours OF the
city's policemen and fremen to eight
hours and to see that the state law
is carried out to the letter. Police
men at the present time work ~
hours day at rather small pay. It
is evident that II the law Is enforced
there must be Of necessity more men
appointed on the police force and for
the fire department. The Aremen
practically work "a hours a day or
lat least are on duty a good share Of
that time. The firemen as well as
the policemen deserve some relief
and 1t is believed this WIN be afford
ed by the state labor commissioner
when he visits this city in the near
future.
