sale and sells under its own management registered live stock or breeding sires, provided said association assumes all responsibility of such sale and guarantees title of said live stock and arranges with the Board for the proper inspection of all animals sold. [1937] Sec. 56-910. Rules and regulations by state superintendent of weights and measures. All scales used in the operation of live stock sales rings must be inspected and tested by the State Superintendent of Weights and Measures, and he is hereby authorized to make reasonable rules and regulations relative to the method of weighing live stock at all live stock sales rings. All live stock sold by weight must be weighed on scales. [1987] Compiled Statutes 1945 Annotated, Vol. 4, Ch. 57, Art. 5-Mine Scales. Sec. 57-505. Weighing before screening. It shall be unlawful for any mine owner, lessee, operator, agent or company in this state, employing miners at bushel or ton rates, or other quantities, in mining coal, to pass the output of coal mined by said miners over any screen or any device which shall take any part of the marketable coal from the amount thereof, before the same shall have been weighed and duly credited to the employees sending the same to the surface, unless otherwise agreed upon between miners and their employers. In case of any agreement where coal is credited to miners after having been screened and weighed, said miners or employees shall receive compensation for all marketable or saleable coal sent by them to the surface, and accounted for at the customary rate of weights; provided, that this section shall also apply to the class of workers in mines known as loaders engaged in mines where mining is done by machinery whenever the workers are under contract to load coal by the bushel, ton or quantity. [1911] Sec. 57-506. Weighman: Oath; penalty. The weighman employed at any mine shall subscribe an oath or affirmation before a justice of the peace or other officer authorized to administer oaths, to do justice between employer and employee and to weigh the output of coal from miners in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 [Sec. 57-505] *. Said oath or affirmation shall be kept conspicuously posted in the weigh office and any weigher of coal or person so employed who shall knowingly violate any of the provisions of the Act [Secs. 57-505-57-509] shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not less than twenty-five dollars [$25.00] nor more than one hundred dollars $100.00] for each offense, or by imprisonment in the county jail for a period of not to exceed thirty [30] days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. [1911] Sec. 57-507. Check weighman. The miners employed by or engaged in working for any mine owner, lessee, operator, agent or company in this state shall have the privilege, if they so desire, of employing at their own expense a check weighman, who shall have like rights and privileges in the weighing of coal as the regular weighman and be subject to the same oath and penalties as the regular weighman. [1911] Sec. 57-508. Owner to provide scales; testing. The owner, lessee, operator, agent or company operating any coal mine in this state, at which miners are paid by weight, shall provide suitable and accurate scales of standard manufacture for weighing of coal which may be procured from such mines; such owner, lessee, operator, agent or company shall be required to keep United States standard weights to test said scales. At every mine where the coal miner is paid for by weight it shall be the duty of the weighman and the check weighman to examine and balance the scales each morning, and in no case shall any coal be weighed until such scales are tested by the United States standard weights and found correct; provided, that if the weighman and check weighman shall disagree, work may continue until the inspector of mines can be present, and any erroneous weights made during such time shall be rectified. When differences shall arise between the weighman and the check weighman, or operator, of any mine, as to the correctness of the scales, the same shall be referred to the inspector of mines whose duty it shall be to see and regulate the same at once. The mine inspector of the district upon each regular visit to each mine, shall test the scales used for the weighing of coal; if for any reason, he believes the scales to be inaccurate he shall call in the county assessor, as county sealer of weights and measures, and they shall proceed to test out the scales according to United States standards; if any inaccuracies are discovered they shall direct the scales to be properly repaired or adjusted until they register approximately correct weights. Any failure on the part of the mine inspector, and county assessor when called on to perform these duties shall constitute a refusal to perform the duties of their office and upon failure to do so they shall be reported to the governor of the state in writing. The inspector of mines upon each regular visit to each mine shall test the scales used for the weighing of coal. Miners employed in the mine and others personally interested shall at all proper times have full right of access to and examination of scales or apparatus used for weighing coal in or about said mine; provided, however, the provisions of this Act [Secs. 57505-57-509] shall not apply to mines classed as prospects, but only to those having regular output. [1911; last amended 1919.] Compiled Statutes 1945 Annotated, Vol. 4, Ch. 57, Art. 5-Mine Scales-Continued. Sec. 57-509. False weighing; penalty. Any person or persons having or using any scale or scales for the purpose of weighing the output of coal at mines so arranged or constructed that fraudulent weighing may be done thereby, or who shall knowingly resort to or employ any means whatever by reason of which such coal is not correctly weighed and reported in accordance with the provisions of this Act [Secs. 57-505-57-507], shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction. for each offense be punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars [$100.00] nor more than three hundred dollars [$300.00], or by imprisonment in the county jail for a period not to exceed sixty [60] days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. [1911] Sec. 57-510. State inspector of coal mines to examine mine scales. The state inspector of coal mines is hereby made the legal examiner of all scales, measures or other mechanical devices by which coal is weighed or measured for the purpose of ascertaining or determining the compensation which shall be paid coal mine employees, and shall examine and balance said scales, measures or devices at any time he may consider it necessary in his official visits to the mines. [1927] Compiled Statutes 1945 Annotated, Vol. 1, Ch. 9, Art. 9-False Advertising. Sec. 9-904. Unlawful acts; penalty. Any person, firm, corporation or association who, with intent to sell, or in any way dispose of any merchandise, securities, or anything offered by such person, firm, corporation or association, directly or indirectly, to the public for sale or distribution or with intent to increase the sale or consumption thereof, or to induce the public or any person in any manner to enter into any obligation relating thereto or to acquire title to or an interest therein makes, publishes, disseminates, circulates, or places before the public or any person, or causes the same to be done, either directly or indirectly, whether by newspaper publication or otherwise, any label, notice, handbill, poster, bill, circular, pamphlet or letter, any advertisement of any kind or character regarding merchandise, securities, amusements, entertainments, exhibitions, services or any other thing or commodity offered to the public or to any person; which advertisement contains any assertion or statement, which is, in fact, untrue, deceptive or misleading, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine in any sum not exceeding one hundred ($100.00) dollars, in the discretion of the court, for every such offense and each day such publication or communication shall be published or disseminated, shall constitute a violation of the provisions of this section and shall be deemed a separate and distinct offense; provided, also, that the provisions of this section shall not apply to the publisher of any newspaper or other publication who publishes or causes to be published, disseminated, or circulated any written or printed statement prohibited by the provisions of this section, without knowledge that it is false. Within the meaning of this section an advertisement shall be defined as any notice, announcement, statement, representation, exhibition, demonstration or proclamation, whether by printing or writing. It shall be the duty of the county attorney of each county, on complaint being made to vigorously prosecute any and all offenders against the provisions of this section. [1917] U. S.
