Proposed Eight Hour Law

AN act prohibiting employers from
requiring or permitting employees to
work more than eight hours in any day

tural labor and cases of emergency;
providing for extra compensation for
overtime; and fixing a penalty for the
violation thereof"
Be it enacted by the people Of the
State of Washington:
Section /. 1t shall be unlawful for
any person, persons, corporation, COM
pany or joint stock association to
cause, require or permit any male or
female employe in his, her or its en-
ploy to work more than eight hours
during any day OF twenty-four hours,
nor more than forty-eight hours during
any week Of seven days, except that in
agricultural labor an additional two
hours per day may be allowed for work
which is unavoidably and necessarily
incidental to farm management.
Provided, however, that in case OF
extraordinary emergency, such as dan
ger to life or property, or where such
eight hour limit would unavoidably and
necessarily prevent other workers in
the same mine, mill, factory or other
industrial unit from working the full
eight hour day the hours for work may
be further extended, but in such cases
the rate of pay for time employed in
excess Of eight hours of each calendar
day shall be one and onehalf the rate
OF pay allowed for the same amount OIL
time during eight hours service.
Section Q. If for any reason any
of the provisions of this act shall be
adjudged unconstitutional and invalid
ii shall not affect the validity of the ACT
as whole or any other part thereof.
Section 8. Any employer, over
seer, superintendent or other agent Of
any such employer, who shall violate
any of the provisions of this act, shall,
