FOR EIGHT HOUR LAW
Many business Arms and other
employers of labor have already be
gun preparations for tho inaugura
tion of the eight hour day pre
scribed by act of the territorial le
gislature and which is to become
operative January 1st 1918.
The operation of ,thi5 law coming
as it does in the middle of the non
navigation season is expected to
work very little if any hardship
upon tho individual employer since
its application falls equally upon
_all classes of employement. The
editor of this newspaper was unable
to find any complaint whatsover
from employers about the city of
Nome. Srfme of them an: preparing
to add an additional shift and o'nets
expect to shot ton their business and
operating hors. It will oe found
m tune that a great many business
■ houses. those not connected with
aniusemc.itrecreation or pl6asui».
■could Ion oil three or even four
hours of (lie business and at the 1
same time do iully as much bus- '
iness. To the merchants and em- i
ployers of labor we bespeak the co- i
operation of our readers in tbei; i
efforts to adapt them-clves to the <
changes made obligatory by the law, :
copy of which v e publish as follows i
for the information of all con- i
cerned.
