Peeplcs Defines Weekly Payday Meas? ure. Columbia, June 7.?It was not con? templated in the opinion oi' Thomas H. Peev es .attorney general, that the weekly pay day of corporations should not be a movable feast; furthermore the payment of waget is for money earned during the preceding calendar week and not for the seven' days im? mediately preceding the pay day. This opinion was rendered in April to Commissioner Watson and' was duplicated yesterday to the Paeotet Manufacturing company. The letter in part is as follows: > - - "It can not have been Intended that the corporations shall pay wages off every seven days that the wages may be earned, as the act requires a reg? ular pay day once in every week, and not a movable pay day, according to the time the employes may hate actually worked. ' "i am therefore, of the opinion that the proper constductlon of the act requires the corporations to fix a certain day in every., week upon which day they will | pay the -wages earned during the -preceding'calendar week. While it would be more con? venient to tho corporation to* have only four pay days during a period of 30 or 31 days, this would nety In my opinion, meet the requii emcTVW of the statute." r ' .
