A three member commission will study effects over six to nine months and report to the President within thirty days of completion. Pending review, wages stay at current eight hour standards with time and a half for overtime. Penalties include misdemeanor fines up to 1000 dollars or up to one year imprisonment.

Puzzling Split Over Governor Hopefuls Sparks Church Row
Sioux City district conference of the Methodist Episcopal church opposed W. L. Harding and supported E. T. Meredith for governor. Harding is a valued church member but not deemed fit for governor, while Meredith admits wine at home and a glass of champagne as a courtesy, which would bar him from church membership. The clash leaves Meredith seen as governor material by some, and Harding as the faithful churchman unfit for state leadership.
