Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 23.-As the
result of the work of the Vice
Commission and the newly or
ganized labor bureau, the laun-
dry workers of Little Rock are
to receive total of about ST.
900 month more in wages, be-
ginning with June l.
The Vice Commission was di-
rected among other things, to
make an investigation of the
question of wages paid woman
workers in the city, and their re-
port of the minimum wage and
the employment conditions in
the laundries and elsewhere,
was filed with the Labor Bureau.
AS the result of friendly medi-
ton on the part Of the Bureau
an agreement has been reached,
voluntarily on the part of the
laundry proprietors, increasing
the minimum wage from 81 to
Sc per week, and reducing the
time of work from 10 hours a
day and so hours week to 9
hours a day, and 81 hours a
week. It is estimated that this
will mean an increase of about
$1,000 a month and about 80
days less work per month.
All six laundries: Franks,
the Peoples, Little Rock Hand
Laundry and the Argenta laun-
dry agree to these changes, as
does the Karcher Candy Com
pany. It will effect nearly 400
employees in the city. All the
employers entered heartily into
the spirit of the changes re-
quested by the Bureau, and will
cooperate in the work of in
creasing the efficiency of sani-
tation and ventilation in the
various places where women are
employed.

Depot and Contents Burn.

Yellville, Ark, May 21.-The
depot at this place was struck
by lightning during the storm
Saturday night and was burned
to the ground. Nearly all of the
freight and express in the de-
pot at the time was saved.
The fire started during the Sc
we're rain and electrical storm
which passed over this section
Saturday night and Sunday
morning. AS soon as the fire
was discovered volunteer fire
brigade was organized, and by
hard work most of the contents
of the building was carried out
before it burned. The loss en-
tailed was principally on the
building itself, which was
frame and which is estimated at
1900. BY hard fighting a
string of box cars which were
standing on the house track
just back of the building were
saved. This depot was known
IN tho White Qix,oy rno1 nc tho
$4,000 depot, the people of
iYellville putting up that much
bonus to have the station locat-
ed there when the road was
built. A box car depot was put
in yesterday and wire connec-
lions made. This will be used
temporarily until a new station
can be built.

Murphy Bull Moose" Candidate


Little Rock, May 23.-The
leaders of Roosevelt's Progress
i've party in Arkansas, after
frequent conferences, decided
yesterday to nominate a Bull
Moose" candidate for governor
to oppose the Democratic nomi-
nee at the special election to be
held on July %. J. A. Conner.
chairman of the Progressive
State Central Committee, yes
terday issued a call for a meet
ing of the committee, Saturday,
May 81, in Little Rock, to fix a
date on which to hold state
convention and name a candi-
date for governor.
1T is the desire of Colonel
Roosevelt that a candidate for
governor be nominated in Ark
ansas by the Progressive par
ty. said Mr.. Conner yesterday,
IN recent letter ] received
from Colonel Roosevelt, he stat
ed that il the party nominated
d candidate for governor in Ar
kansas he would come here and
make several speeches in his be
half There is not the slightest
doubt but that a candidate will
be nominated. 1t is almost as
certain that Col. Geo. w. Muir
ply, former attorney general of
this state, will be the nominee.
Colonel Murphy already has
said he will accept the nomina-
ton if it comes to him without
a contest. He will make a Wig
orous campaign>of the state and
tell the people why he is "Bull
Moose"
Mr.. Conner also said that AL
bert J. Beverage, former Unit
ed States senator from Indiana,
would make several speeches in
Arkansas in behalf of Colonel
Murphy's candidacy.
Better than that" said Mr.
Conner, 1--WE shall invite Gov. Hi
ram w. Johnson of California to
make an address in Little Rock,
and we believe he will accept the
invitation. Another distin-
guished member of the Porgres-
sive party, Miss Jane Adams of
Chicago, one of the members of
the executive committee of the
national organization, is ex-
pected to assist at the Inaugural
ton of our campaign for gov
ernor. Miss Adams will be in
vited by Mrs. Jean Reutlinger of
