HOURS OF LABOR
 ARE DEFINED Attorney Geneal Moose Says Some SaWmills Are Violating the Law.
CANNOT DIVIDE TIME
Opinion is Rendered at The Request of Labor Commissioner
 Clary.

Little Rock, Dec. 1.-The following important letter has just been ad- dressed by Attorney General Moose to Labor Commissioner Clary, in re- sponse to a query:
 "Your letter of this date with reference to Act 49, passed in 1905 regulating the hours of labor in saw and blaming mills, has been received You state that some of the saw mills of the state have adopted the custom of compelling their employees to work ten hours and half five days in the week and seven and a half hours oll Saturday, which, on the average, makes ten hours day for six days. You ask whether this is lawful under the provision of the act afOr 3said.
 "I do not think 1t is.
 "Section 1 of the Act provides that ten hours shall constitute a legal days work for all classes of work ing men and laborers enga ged in the operation and construction of saw and plan'ng mills in this state. If ten hours is legal days work, ten and half is not legal. You will observe, too, that the act provides for days work and not weeks s work. If it is lawful to work ten and a half hours the first five days, it is lawful to work fifteen hours 2 day for the first four days of the week, and then compel the laborers to do nothing for the remainder of the week.
 You viii also notice that in Sec |. tion 3 of the act, it is provided that each days violation of this Act or any part thereof shall be considered a separate offense. The Act provides that nothing therein shall prevent the employer of employe from contracting for less number of hours For Il

legal days work than is mentioned in Section 1, but it does not provide that they may contract for greater number cf hours, so it is my opinion that when the company operating the saw mill requires it's employees to work more than ten hours in any one day, # violates not only the let- ter but the spirit of the act.

possibilities which should engage
the earnest and continued atten-
ton of the citizens" he say 8,
"and these are the trucking indus
try the production of fancy pine.
apples and the manufacture of eli.
CARS" All of these things are
done in Punta Gorda, he admits,
but only on a snail scale. That
they are capable of great develop
ment is certain, and there is never
any question of producing too
much truck too lnapy fine pine
apples or too many good cigars.
The demand is growing and the
peculiar possibilities of Punta
Gorda should certainly be given
attention.
