How and When Women Can Hold
Their Jobs Under New Labor Law

Women workers in the state, with
few exceptions, will work only eight
hours day and six days week after
the new "eight hour law for women"
goes into effect some time early in
June. The bill is the first law to re-
quire that women work only six days
a week.
The new law, passed by the legis-
laturc under the title of Senate Bill
No. 10, and which amends paragraph
TIT of the Penal code Of 1913, was ap-
proved Wednesday of last week by
Governor Hunt, and transmitted to the
secretary of state with his signature
attached.
Several classes of women workers,
heretofore exempt under the present
law, will be subject to the provisions
Of the new "eight hour law for wom-
en-" One new class Of exemptions is
provided in the new law, those women
who work in harvest fields or in fields
or packing sheds or canning factories
where perishable vegetables or fruits
are grown, packed or cured and
canned.
Under the new law women engaged
in domestic service, girls working in
telephone or telegraph offices or ex-
changes where less than three females
are employed, nurses, and women
workers in harvest fields during the
The Coconino sun., 1927-03-18

harvest season, or in the fields, pack
ing sheds or factories where perish
able produce is grown or handled may
work seven days. al other classes of
women workers are subject to the por-
visions of the law under the new bill.
Among the women workers, not
heretofore subjected to the provisions
of the eight hour law, but who now
cannot work more than eight hours a
day and six days a week, are women
engaged in manufacturing establish
merts, places of amusement and
women employees in railroad restau-
rants or eating houses on railroad
property.
The 10 hours clause Of the present
law which provides that women who
are employed only six days a week
may work 10 hours day, is removed
in the new law and in its stead is sub
stituted the provision that one day Of
rest must be allowed each week for
those working eight hours q day.
Women who are employed six hours
or less each day are permitted to work
seven days week under the new law.
The penalty imposed on employers
who are convicted of violation of the
law is the same as under the old law,
fine not to exceed $25 or q jail sem
tence not to exceed so days, on both
fine and Jail sentence.

Dynamite tn StOUe
Wood Badly Injured
Woman dt Miami

The explosion of stick of firewood,
believed to have been loaded with dy-
Mantle, put Mrs. Alice O. Howard,
mining operator, in a Miami hospital
Friday, her lips sealed against nam
ing the person she suspects of an at
tempt on her life.
Mrs. Howard, owner jointly with
Bud Jones, of mining properties IL
miles west of Miami, was said by
neighbors to have been a party to a
feud which had its elimination in the
'1oading" Of the firewood. Although
the kitchen range in which she had
placed the piece of wood was wrecked,
Mrs. Howard was not seriously in
jured. She refused to divulge any in
formation regarding the affair.
The woman had several wounds on
her thighs and was suffering from a
blow on the abdomen. Her right hand
was shattered, but a heavy wooden
dress and heavy underclothing pre-
vented the flying pieces of iron from
the stove from embedding themselves
in her flesh.
Nearby neighbors were not notified,
but an employe was sent in search of
Jones, her business associate whom,
she said, she desired to make the first
investigation Of the affair
The Howard-Jones properties are
located in Pinal county at the summit
of the Miami-Superi highway and
near the Gila county line.

the last two legislatures were solely
responsible for the lack of highway
legislation and relief of the state
highway department, adding: "and the
eighth legislature cannot shift the re-
sponsibility to the governor of this
state"
Senator Wills, of Pinal county,
thought it was "some kind Of freeze
out game with the cards stacked to
start with. However, I am ready to
stay until the game is played out, no
matter how long"

singing, he said, his "swan song, be-

State z Prisoners May
Now Work on Roads

Prisoners serving time in the state
prison at Florence, who do road work,
in the future will be allowed two days
off their sentence for each one day
worked on the roads, under the terms
of senate bill s. signed by Governor
Hunt. The bill carried the emergency
clause and became effective with the
signature of the governor.
The bill further provides for an ap-
preparation of 100000 a year for two
years to carry out the terms of the
bill allowing state prisoners to do
road work. Under the bill, the cost
of working the prisoners on the roads
is to be divided. The amount that
would be necessary to maintain each
prisoner at the state prison during
time he is working on the road is to
be paid from the prison maintenance
fund, and the balance of the cost from
the appropriation of 100000 each
year.
Any prisoner, the bill provides, who
violates prison rules or attempts to
escape, loses the time allotted for road
work. The bill, it was stated, was
designed to relieve the congestion at
the prison and to provide employment
for idle prisoners at the institution.
The sstirne off" clause on their sem
tences was added as a reward to the
prisoners taking advantage of the OPP
portunity offered to work.

Still Mixing Dope
On Boulder Canyon

Washington, d. G. - Plans for
arousing public opinion behind Muscle
Shoals and Boulder Canyon dam legis-
lation at the next session of congress
were discussed at an informal meet
ing Of senators and representatives at
the capitol.
by Clifford Pinchot, former governor
of Pennsylvania, who declared "the
power trusts are attempting to mon
opolize all Of the water power of the
country" and Senators Norris, repub-
lican, Nebraska, and Johnson, repub-
lican, California, sponsors of Muscle
Shoals and Boulder Canyon dam leg
islation, respectively, decision was
reached to keep the subjects alive dur
ing the summer by speeches from the
platform and the issuance of litera-
ture.
The meeting was attended by SEN
ators Nye and Frazier, North Dakota;
Norbeck, South Dakota; Howell and
Norris, Nebraska; Johnson, California,
and Borah, Idaho, republicans; Har-
ris, democrat, Georgia, and Repre-
sentative Swing, republican, Califor-
MIA.
Before the meeting, Senator Cope
land, democrat, New York, predicted
in statement that "much attention
will be paid in the next session of
congress to the development Of the
giant power companies and their at
tempts at seizure of the water sup
plies of the country"
"The federal water power commits
sion and every other agency Of gov
ernment having to do with the devel-
opment of power will be given an in
vestigation," he said.
1T is high time that the public came
to realize how it's natural resources
are going into private hands and be-
ing transferred to the great electric
monopolies. Every governor should
follow the. governor of my state In
guarding the water supplies Of the
states.
$50 far as congress is concerned, /
shall join hands with every other
member who is anxious to protect the
rights of the masses against these
tendencies. In my opin-
ion, every member of congress should
be aroused to the increase in strength
of the electric monopoly. It is time
that the common citizen had his fights
protected ,and as / view it, the power
trust must be brought to book"

Governor Hunt Monday night au-
thorized his secretary, John II. Whyte,
to announce that he had definitely de-
termined to veto the highway bill, now
on his desk. The legislature, now
standing at recess, will reconvene at
10 o'clock today to receive the veto
and take such action as may be
thought suited to the occasion
The other vetoes said to be immi-
nent by administration senators last
night are the American Legion bill
for compulsory physical education in
the public schools, and the $4,000
relief bill for Smart, Gore and com
pany, certified public accountants, who
audited the books of the state high
way department four years ago.
The same senatorial sources repre-
sented the governor as far from salts
fled with the general appropriation
bill which, as finally passed last Sat
urday, carried total 1852, ,377.44 low
er than the governors substitute bill,
though $275, 5,459.82 higher than when
introduced by the house appropria-
tions committee.
IF allowed to stand, the highway
veto will leave the state highway de-
partment without operating funds and
without credit, will make it impossible
for Arizona to match federal aid, and
will deprive the departments cred
itors of the only relief offered them
an appropriation of S625,000 carried
in the bill.
Ever since the general nature of the
bill became known to him, the COVER
nor has said that he would veto it.
He even signed statement
among others to Senator Harlow
Akers-that he would veto it and then
call two special sessions, one confined
to creditors relief and the other to
highways.
But that was before he had seen
the bill, and he was careful to say late
last Fridav, just before his trip to
Nogales, that he might overlook"
certain of its provisions, if the bill it.

Senate Attaches
Take Off Solons
At Mock Session

The attaches of the state senate had
their day Wednesday when they
staged their take Off senate session
at the expense of the upper house of
the legislature
Governor Hunt, played by Dorothy
Burton, clerk of the senate, address
ed a joint session of the two houses,
making "grandstand play" to bury
the hatchet; and then, suddenly
changing his mind, he decided to hang
on to the hatchet and continue to
cross swords with President Winsor
of the senate.
Senator Golfer, complete even to the
ever-present cigarette, made a long
speech about the Colorado river, and
carried on a TRADE against the ''pow-
or interests" and " copper trusts"
Jack Murqhy, senate page, as Sena-
tor Favour of Yavapai, rose to re-
mark on various occasions that he
believed the bill under discussion was
unconstitutional.

when Governor Hunt announced that
he wasn't going to resign no more"

he might want to chop off few
heads" and President Winsor his be-
cause he might want to grind it"

State Tax Rate
May Reach S1.OO

A tax rate of approximately 90
cents plus for every $100 of assessed
valuation in the state seemed possible
for the coming fiscal year, starting
July |, on the face of figures prepared
Saturday following the recess of the
eighth legislature.
The general appropriation bill, as
drawn originally, required tax of 80
cents, the University of Arizona 10
cents, the public schools 19 cents, the
highway department 27 cents and mis-
cellaneous cents. AS amended, the
appropriation bill now points to a
levy Of 81 cents on every $100 of as
sessed valuation, and the highway bill,
providing for financing the highway
department, to about 20 cents.
In addition, the following bills car
rylng appropriations were passed by
both houses, and five have been signed
by Governor Hunt, transferring them
to the statute books: Wickenburg-
Ehrenburg highway bill, $150,000;
Cooley White River road bill, $780,
900; Gila bridge bill, Yuma county,
$4,000; Akers prisoners road work
bill, $4,000; Runke Colorado river
bridge bill, $185,000; Francis Colorado
river permanent commission bill,
100000, and session expenses, $780,
900.
While the burden of many of the
special appropriations will be removed
from the taxpayers during the second
half of the biennium, 1929, an in
crease in the property tax for the
highway department of one-haH mill
on the dollar would, it was estimated,
bring the 1928-29 rate to about 90
cents on the $100.

Governor Hunt Plays Hide-'n' Seek
With the Arizona Legislature


The senate Of the eighth legisla-
| ture Saturday passed a concurrent
resolution drawn by Senator Suffer,
Of. Cochise county, recessing the leg;s-
lature for five days pending action by
Governor Hunt on the highway de-
partment reorganization bill.
The vote on the resolution followed
the line taken by votes on similar So
called administration and anti-ad-
ministration" measures during the
past few weeks. The following voted
against the resolution:
Bettwy, Santa Cruz; Golfer, Apache;
Joyner, Pima; Nelson, Navajo, and
Wills, Pinal.
With the highway commission bill
placed on the governors desk but with
no governor on hand to sign or reject
it, and with the general appropriation
bill still unpassed, the legislature
stood on the brink of indecision, torn
between a desire to get home and
wish to round out its labors in some
sort of form.
The veto stamp was ready to be
placed on the bill, the governor indi-
Gated before his retirement to seclu-
sion Friday, and no circumstance has
arisen since that time that would
change his mind, according to those
in sympathy with the administration.
In the meantime members of joint
committee were in conference over the
general appropriation bill, with the
hope of ironing out differences in the
appropriations as made by the house
and senate.
There was much rushing to and fro
of house leaders conferring with
those who control the actions of the
senate-so much, in fact, that a reg
ular session Of the house was out Of
the question until ten minutes after
twelve.
At that hour Speaker Crawford
raped for order and the house re-
mained in session five minutes.
Senator Sutter, in presenting the
resolution, pointed out that the legis-
lature could recess for the five days
allowed Che governor by law to sign or
reject the highway bill, and that if he
approved it, the senate would be in
session to confirm his appointments.
The move was unprecedented in the
history of the state, but proponents of
the measure pointed out that the late
hour at which the highway bill was
sent to the governors desk virtually
made it mandatory upon the legisla-
ture to extend the chief executive the
courtesy of remaining in session until
such time as he had had the oppor-
tunity to decide upon the persons he
wished named to the highway COM

Recalls Are Rumored on
Both Sides--Little Hope
of Further Concessions

Monday nights announcement and
those that preceded it is that the first
were conditional and this is final, aft
er reading the bill.
So far as the legislature is con-
cerned, the air is clarified and it now
knows just what to expect. Majority
leaders who remained in town Monday
reiterated their determination to block
a series of special sessions by remain
ing technically in regular session at
their own expense, and thus free to
send the governor whatever legisla-
ton they see fit to enact. They have
power to make appropriations for
clerical work and the printing of bills
for any period within their two year
term of office.
Well grounded reports are to the
effect that Governor Hunt is sending
out requests to henchmen urging re-
call petitions be signed against GER
tain senate and house leaders who
have not bent to his will.
In some instances it is urged that
pinto republicans be drafted to run
against anti-administration democrats.
1t is further intimated as part of
the governors political strategy, to
call special session as soon as his
enemy legislators are tied up in a re-
call, thus putting them out of the way
for the time being at least, and in
creasing the efficiency of his follow
ers,
For some time there has been a
counter current of reports that recall
petitions will be filed against the gov
ernor.
Both sides have evidently declared
war and it is only question of which
side can hold out the longest.

They pulled the exhausted woman
