Idaho labor safety push stalled by law limits and small field staff
Idaho Labor Commissioner W L Robinson told the Idaho Press Club breakfast that the state has only three field men to oversee industrial safety, far fewer than Oregon's 65. He noted the department lacks author ity to enforce safety recommendations and must also aid in wage enforcement and other tasks. Governor Smylie and AFL CIO leader Darrell Dorman urged expanding staff and stronger enforcement, but legislative approval has failed amid employer resistance and opposition from the Industrial Accident Board. The discussion highlighted a broader push for more field inspectors and expanded powers.
