Amendment Not In
dOrsed By Governor,
Says Dingeman
TWO OTHERS ARE
IN SAME BOAT
All Were Mailed to
Lansing, Deputy
Clerk Insists

Corporation Counsel Dingeman has
filed d plea in the circuit court at.
lacking the suit brought by the De-
troit Federation OF Labor TO compel
the city To pay the minimum wage
provided for laborers in the recently.
adopted charter amendment. on the
ground that the proposed amend
ment was never transmitted TO the
governor in compliance with Sec. No.
90 OF the home rule act.
The corporation counsel recently
communicated with the governor
and established the fact that neither
the minimum wage amendment nor
any OF the other amendments sub
mitted TO the voters In the April
election were received in Lansing.
Deputy City Clerk Guy l.. ingalls,
declares that the proposed amend.
ments were mailed TO the Office OF
the governor from the ONCE of the
city clerk. No communication from
Lansing regarding the proposed
amendments was ever received by
the city clerk.
The home rule act states In plain
language that proposed amendments
TO the charter must be transmitted
10 the governor. He must either ap-
prove or d,sapprove each amend
ment. in the latter case setting forth
his reasons. The common council
can by a iwothirds vote submit a
proposed amendment over the gov
ernors veto.
The minimum wage amendmen,
was submitted by petition after the
council committee on charter and
city legislation had turned II down

day for laborers employed by the
city or working for contractors on
city jobs.
II also provides for the paymen'
of time and a half for overtime and
double time for Sunday work. The
amendment limits working day &c
eight hours. The nremen and pc
licemen. who work overtime as vel
as holidays and Sundays. come under
the amendment. according to the cor
poration counsel. Another provision
in the amendment says that the city
treasurer shall issue pay envelope:
weekly instead OF bi-weekly.
IL the contention of the corpora
tion counsel that the amendment:
voted on In the spring election were
not legally submitted Is sustained
the amendment doing away with ths

lowing the city clerk to transfe!
