Bill to Help Blind Supported by Lions
Montana Lions clubs will support a bill in this legislature to permit adult blind persons to receive rehabilitation training at state institutions. Under existing laws only ages 6 to 21 are eligible for training at the state school. Lions say 400 to 500 adults lack access and seek a five member commission to supervise education of blind persons at summer sessions at the state school for the blind.

Vast Public Hearing On Proposed State Labor Law
The hearing drew a record crowd of veteran legislators and small businessmen arriving by rail and bus, many unable to access the floor. The plan sets minimum wages at 40 cents an hour from July 1, 1939 to Oct 24, 1945, rising to 50 cents thereafter. Eight hour days and a 42 hour week apply through Oct 24, 1945, then a 40 hour week. An appointed director of labor would run the act with regional boards to hear complaints, while factual disputes go to the labor commissioner and legal questions to the state supreme court. E C Burris outlined the need, with Assistant Attorney General Lee Metcalf speaking.
