DAY
IS INTERPRETED
ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES Law
APPLIES TO HIGHWAY
WORK

Attorney General Harrison j.
Freebourn issued an opinion re-
Gently directed to County Attorney
J, III. McAlear Of Chester, inter-
preting the eight-hOur law as ap,
plicable to highway work, and held
that the employment by a con
tractor, holding a contract from
the state for highway construction,
of a man for 16 hours continuously,
eight hours in one calendar Day n
eight hours in the next such day,
is in violation of Montana laws.
The opinion contained the following
Interpretation of sections OF the sta
tute bearing on the eight-hour ques-
ton:
In section 3O78, relating to the work
ing of females, the legislature used tne
ton 3O81, relating to railway employees
the phrase in any 24-hour period IS
used. The "24-hour" period is men
toned in section 3068, relating to the
hours of employment OF hosting engl-
neers; in sections 3069.1 and 3069;2. re-
lating to the hours of work Tor drivers
and attendants of motor BUSES; IN
section 3O7O, relating to the hours OF
employment of telephone operators.
I'm the absence of any language IN
the statute indicating that the leglsla-
ture intended a day to be 2 alend
day, such construction should be given
to the statute which is in harmony with
other statutes and with the purpose n
spirit of laws limiting the hours OF
work of employees. The purpose of such
laws is related to the health. morals
or welfare of the public $50 G. J. So.
This is no doubt n of the main OBJ
jects of the law even where the state
apart from considerations of the po-
lice power. acting in its inherent pow
er, determines the number of hours
which will constitute a days labor Tor
the state or by contractors who con-
tract with the state.
1T is my opinion, therefore. that "a
day as used in section 3079 means a
period of time consisting of any "A
hours and not a calendar day from
midnight to midnight and that such
of a man continuously for
16 hours, eight hours being in n cal
endar day. is in violation of the law
