STRIKE BREAKERS GO

TRENTON, N. j., March 27.-A

on strike to secure a raise from 1852

brought in and the strikers places
filled.
Now the strike breakers have struck
for a wage of So per day, and board.

.PHE[AN TALKS ON
minimum WAGE LAW
University Professor Declares EN-
ployees Who Pay Less Than
Living Wage Parasites.

In his lectures to the classes in
Social Economics held at the public
library and at the Y. NJ. G. A. on
Tuesday of this week, DR.. Raymond v.
Phelan discussed the minimum wage
for women workers and the relation
of wages and vice.
"Our statistics are Inadequate" he
said, but it may safely be said that
from one-half to nine-tenths of our
women workers receive less than
$40 a week. One authoritative state
ment indicates that so per cent re-
ceive less than IS week.
Discussing the causes for low
wages paid to women and girls, he
gave the following as probably con-
tributing to this condition. First,
women often lack a serious attitude
towards their work; second, they lack
special training; third, they are over
docile; fourth, as a rule they lack
organizations; fifth, they suffer from
the old conservative attitude towards
themselves as workers and as human
beings, and sixth, they are subject to
the influence upon their wages of the
unholy attitude of many men towards
orking women
To Protect Life and Health.
THE minimum wage idea is based
upon the principle that when ordin-
airy bargaining fails to secure for a
worker the minimum wage essential
to individual justice and social we'll
being, the state should effect the pay
ment of such minimum.
The increased wage enforced by
the minimum law may come from the
following sources: Increased eff
cheney in better paid workers; inn
proved organization of business;
higher prices, or out of excessive
profits.
The industry that fails to pay all
Of it's workers sufficient wages to
maintain sufficient standard of liv-
the employees father or other rela-
tives, upon women workers through
i'll health, in efficiency and unhappi-
ness for her and often for her future
children, or upon private charaties,
or upon the state.'
DR.. Phelan discussed at some length
the Massachusetts, minimum wage
law, which provides publicity as a
penalty for it's violation, and the Vic
torian and British laws, the latter two
| of which he said are giving decidedly
satisfactory results. The Minnesota
bill now pending before the legislature
was also discussed.
Law Will Be Valid.
By analogy with the ten hour basis
in the Oklahoma bank deposits case,
DR.. Phelan came to the conclusion
| that in all probability the minimum
wage law would be sustained, as con-
stitutional
In discussing the effect upon the
employer, the worker and society, he
emphasized greatly the educational
| value of the Investigations incident
to the enforcement of the minimum
wage law, pointing out, that the
worker and the employer will as the
result of such investigation come tc
have more Intelligent knowledge OF
one another's situation, and the con

W0WEN'S WAGE BILL
APPROVED BY HOUSE
Gets Sufficient Votes 49, Many
Members Duck-Now Up
to Senate.

ST. PAUL, March 27.-There is an
excellent prospect that a law provid-
ing. for a minimum wage commission
to see to it that wages paid women
and children in this state do not go
below a humane level will be en-
acted at this session.
The house yesterday afternoon, by
vote of 81 to 10, passed the bill by
Representative J. w. Wilson of Min
neapolis providing for such a COM
mission, and the bill now goes to the
senate.
After the bill had passed the house
its opponents, led by A. L. Warner of
Duluth, sought reconsideration of
the vote by which it had passed. MIR.
Warner said that if the aim of the
bill was to improve the moral con-
dition of women workers that aim
could not be accomplished by such
means, as morality has no relation to
wages, nor wages to morality. He
was supported by Representative Ker-
ry Conley Of Rochester. The motion
to reconsider failed, however.
Senator James P. Boyle of Eveleth
has similar bill in the senate, which
has been approved by the senate COM
mittee on finance. In addition. the
Boyle bill yesterday afternoon came
out Of the judiciary committee with
a report that in the opinion of that
committee it Is constitutional.
The commission is to consist Of
three members, one to be the state
labor commissioner and the other two
to be appointed by the governor. One
Is to be an employer Of women, and
the other is to be a woman, who is
to act as secretary.
The commission may in it's discre-
ton investigate wages in any line Of
employment, but where 100 wohaen
engaged in any industry make COM
plant it must investigate. All en-
ployers of women and children must
keep lists Of their employees, with the
wages paid. THE commission has
full power to summon witnesses and
to compel testimony. It may create
advisory boards to examine any par
ticular industry, and these boards
also have power to compel testimony.
