would Immediately start drafting a
minimum wage bill for presentation
at II special session of the legislature
next January.
Il carefully considered Several
plans for just and comprehensive
minimum wage legislation" said the
governor. BY means of the bill that
] have sent TO the Legislature the in
dustrial commission will at thy very
outset have full and accurate infor
nation upon which to work. The
commission will have power to make
complete Investigations on their own
account.
The worst conditions as regards
wages are to be found in mercantile
establishments. especially department
stores. The proposition is so big in
scope that our first minimum wage
law will aim to better conditions in
such business. Then we will take up
workshops. factories. canning estab-
lishmonts and other lines OF employ
ment."

NEW YORK. March Il. With $4,000
girl and women members of the Chill
dren and Misses Dressmakers' union
striking for a 90 per rem increase in
wages in order hat they may be able
TO feed and clothe themselves prop
erly. union leaders to-day gave the
opportunity of testing exactly what
the girls are up against under pres
ent conditions. IL was pointed out
that. while some earned $40 TO SIS n
week. there were many who could
not earn such figures. In the crowded
headquarters in the Labor temple 20
girls were selected unfortunately
TO demonstrate their own budgets.
II was shown that TO buy essential
articles of clothing many of the girls
were forced 10 deny themselves heir
usual economical means. Most Of the
girls. absolutely exhausted from nine
10 ten hours Of the most laborious
work. must do their own laundry at
night. Few are able to spend as much
as "A nickel on moving picture shows
or candy. and they admit that they
are often cold and hungry. but they
insist that 9Si2 per cent of the girl
workers stay good because they re
alize the end If they succumb to the
lure of pretty clothes and shining
jewelry.
Yet every girl who talked shud-
dered when asked what would be her
fate If taken III. There was the

, mitted. bur when the period Of ron
yalescence mn IL must be faced
