Remove Teeth From Eioht.HOur Bill

The Marcus f. Johnson eight-hOur-
day bill will be minus many of its
rigid provisions when next it appears
in the assembly. Following a hearing
on the bill and the nine amendments
which were presented when the meas
ure came up in the lower house week
ago, the assembly labor committee de-
cided to draft a substitute amendment
and report 1t for passage.
This amendment will probably ex-
empt from inaugurating an eight-hour
day the following: Canneries, logging
and numbering industries, farming,
nurses, butter and cheese factories,
milk and cream depots and distribu-
tors, firemen and policemen and men
engaged in work on highways outside
of cities.
The amendment will further provide
for basic eight-hour day and will per-
init an employer to work his men
longer than eight hours a day provid-
ed he pays them time and one-half for
time worked over that period.
