Complaints Mode
On Hours o. Work

County Attorney Bert W
Kronmiller this week called at
tention of employers to the
state hours of work law which
limits the hours of work for
employees in most basic trades
and industries to eight hours.
The county attorney an
nounced that several complaints
have been made to his office
that the eight-hour law is be-
ing violated in Big Horn
Complaints have also appar-
emily been made to the Mon
tana Labor commission. On last
Friday, May l., Mr.. Kronmiller
received a letter from Attorney
General John w. Bonner, which
stated in part: Complaints
have been made that the state
eight-hour law relative to en-
ployees is being violated in some
parts of Montana and I would
appreciate it if you would do
everything possible to see that
that law is adhered TO in the
event that any violations of the
same are called to your atten-
ton"
MI. Kronmiller also pointed
out that the recent legislative
assembly had enacted several
amendments relating to the
Montana labor law which are
now in effect. Among other pro-
visions of the law, it is a mis-
demeanor for any employer of
female labor to work a female
employee for more than eight
hours.
