FOUR HOURS FOR EACH VOTER.
Employers Are Obliged by Statute to
Grant That Time.
Samuel A. Boyer, county clerk, yesterday called attention to section 7175 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, which provide that every employer must allow his employes four hours on election day so they may vote. The employer, however, may specify the hours. The law says that no wages shall be deducted on this account, nor shall the employe be made otherwise to suffer for taking time to vote from his employment. Violation of the law on the part of the employer subjects him to prosecution for a misdemeanor, the penalty for which is a fine.
