Eight Hour Bill Patched Up in Senate
The Boden Gaffney eight hour bill passed the senate in amended form limiting placer mining during May to September amid water scarcity. An emergency could suspend the act if needed, with enforcement shaped by courts. Roden yielded to save the measure, which targets Treadwell and Southeast Alaska mining, plus coalfields as they develop. Roden urged independent school funding. A separate eight hour day for women passed without change, and the Public Holidays bill gained governor approval. A public fish trap hearing draws cannery opposition.
