LONGER WORK day
BILL IS EXPECTED
House SCOTS at Resolution
Seeking Longer Hours for
Public Employees

A house concurrent resolution pcti.
tioning heads of state and county Of
fees to require eight hours work daily
from their employees was assailed on
the floor OF the house Saturday.
w. E. Dyer Of Slope county Non-
partisan, attacked the resolution as a
foolish move. Department heads
are elected to office as presumably
capable officials and to pass such a
resolution by the legislature seems
unnecessary to me-" Dyer said.
L. L. Twichell, Cass. Independent
leader. said he agreed with Dyer, but
If the legislature is so insistent Ia
rule on this question, It should pass
a law to that effect.
Gordon Cox Of Burleigh declared
this method of attempting to require
state employees to work eight hours
was absurd and nonsensicai."
Members of the appropriations
committee, which introduced the res
olution, defended their stand and said
II the house would approve such q
bill they would be glad to introduce
it, provided they were given perrnis-
sion by the delayed bills committee.
The resolution was re-referred to
the committee, with the understand
ing that q bill requiring all state and
county employees to work eight hours
q day, except Saturday, would bf
forthcoming.
