New York.-Jane Adams of Hull
House and the United States, who is
in this city on a brief business trip,
while disclaiming sufficient knowledge
Of conditions on which to base an es-
innate for New York city, considers
that the minimum wage on which a
working woman can live decently in
Chicago lies between IS and $40. "Of
course l believe in a minimum wage
below which working women shall
not be allowed to work" she declared
in an interview.
There Is little / can say that will
be new about the subject" she mod
destely protested, "and ! know too
little about conditions In New York
city. to make any statement about con-
ditions here. But in Illinois. we are
working on bill which follows very
closely the recommendation of the
Massachusetts minimum wage report.
The women's clubs were the first to
present this bill The Women's Trade
Union league united with them and
now the progressive women are sup
porting a very similar bill so that all
three have practically concentrated
on the same bill.
Should Vary With Industry.
81 do not believe in naming a flat
rate as a minimum wage. The wages
must vary with the industry. That is
the purpose of a minimum wage board
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-01-20

to fix the rate in the various indus
tries
1--WE have the example of England,
which began with the chain and nail
making. window curtains and lace in
dustries. In the United States l be-
lieve we should begin with box max
ing and the clothing trade. Then we
can gradually work into the other in
dustries. We cannot break into them
all at once. 1t would disturb indus
try too much. OF course there Is
minimum below which girl cannot
live decently II she is entirely self
supporting. In Chicago, believe that
minimum lies between So and $40. But
we can't check up industry as rapid
ly as that (Miss Adams made an
indescribably eloquent motion with
her hands to illustrate the checking
up) We must go at 1t in a syste-
matte and orderly fashion.
Experiments In Chicago.
1--WE have been trying several very
interesting experiments in Chicago In
connection with girls work in factor
les. In one factory where the girls
work by the piece they have intro
duced the efficient system, known as
the Taylor system, and gives the girls
the benefit of their added efficiency
In one case girls wages were raised
from IS to $12. In another the girl
increased from Sc to SO. and in one
case from Sc to $12. OF course the
secret of it is the elimination of waste
motions under this system of scientific
management. And because the girls
were not cut down in their rate of
pay as they increased in value to the
firm, the experiments turned out
most successfully.
"Qf course conditions vary widely
in every city, and the individual
boards must fix conditions for each
place. But there are certain general
truths, and one is that girls cannot
live decently under certain mini
mum wage That wage should be
guaranteed to them for the sake Of
society as well as for their own sakes.
After that the increase must come ac-
cording to the individual ability. A
minimum wage does not at all lessen
or effect the indiVidual's chance to
do good work and to gain recognition
for individual excellence"

MUCH GIVEN To RULING

Paris, Jan. 20.-Mlle. Adrienns
Combry, a well known French fem
mist has expressed some novel opin-
ions on the quality of women's work.
which, she says, often fails owing to
faulty education.
they are far too much given to rul-
ing their husbands. and even want
to choose the color of their neckties."
The lack of GOODNESS often shown
by women in times of danger she al
so attributes to their false education.

Services At Christian Church.

The sermons Of Mr.. Taylor,
though all have have been splen-
did from the beginning, seem to
improve in the strength of
their thought and in the earnest
ness and forcefulness of their
delivery.
The audiences, though by nc
means so large as Newport
ought to afford, have at each
service been extremely atten-
tive and appreciative. The sub
ject Wednesday evening was
Peters acknowledgement of
the Christ-the Great Confess
sion, ''Thou are the Christ, thf
Son of the Living God"
Mr.. Taylor declared this to be
the one great and essential con-
fession necessary to a start upor
the Christian life, because the
establishment of the Divinity OF
Jesus is likewise the establish
ment of His power to save and OF

his right to command. Jesus
himself declared his own Divini-
ty, the Father acknowledged it,
and Peter openly declared the
same truth, which had not been
revealed to him by flesh and
blood, but by the will Of the
Father in heaven,
This sermon was worthy the
hearing and careful considera-
ton of every person ia the town
and if you have missed this ser
mon and others in the past, you
may yet have the privilege Of
hearing several fine discourses
if you attend the services this
evening and through the remain
der of the week.
