Short Day Week Bill Downed In Wisconsin Assembly Debate
The Wisconsin Assembly rejected a five day week bill and approved an alternative to legalize farm costs plus profit under Vaughan's proposal. It altered amendments, removed multi-line business code consolidation, and mandated state public service commission rules prevail over conflicting code provisions while exempting trucks hauling farm produce. The measure, by Assemblyman Byrde M Vaughan, aims to repair portions of the 1933 act deemed unconstitutional by the state supreme court.
