New Debate on Tour Worker Hours in General Court
The House refused to advance shorter tour worker hours. Keane urged substituting his bill for the committee’s adverse report, while Kimball opposed it as special legislation that would cut mill production. Hildreth pressed for a 10 p m to 6 a m schedule, Leach defended the adverse report, and Mellen argued for Sabbath sacredness. The amendment failed 51 to 40. Keane substitution failed 61 to 99. The House adjourned to Monday at 2 pm.
