Eight-Hour Day Bill Proposed by Holland for Mines
John Holland of Gogebic county introduces an eight-hour workday for state mines and quarries with time and a half for overtime. The measure, a campaign pledge, is expected to be debated on the floor of both legislative chambers. Previous attempts failed over farm labor inclusion. The gasolene tax bill, amended to fund highway construction, could pass soon, expanding projected annual revenue to about eight million dollars. Governor Groesbeck challenged the automobile weight tax, aiming for twenty million dollars in highway finance, succeeding after closed-door talks.
