the miners, was unanimously passed by
the house at Olympia. The law pro-
vides that eight hours must be actu-
ally spent by the miners at the banks,

longer than this is guilty of a misde
meanor for his offense. Also the miner
who works more than eight hours is
guilty Of a misdemeanor, punishable by
fine or imprisonment, or both. This
section is concession to the union
men. The whole measure is a compro-
mise between the mine owners and
miners.
