ing conditions and to report to
the commission what in its judg-
ment is a living wage for that
class of employment. The living
wage for minors is determined
by the industrial commission
itself upon proper investigation.
''The term living wage is de-
fined in the bill to mean Compen-
sation for labor sufficient to en-
able the employe receiving it to
maintain himself or herself under
conditions consistent with his or
her welfare.
"The bill gives the industrial
commission power to put this liv-
ing wage into full force by order
issuing directly from the COM
mission itself. This is the strong
est feature of the act.
The minimum wage law IN
Massachusetts, gives the COM
mission power only to recon-
mand that a certain wage be rec
ognized as a minimum wage, but
there is nothing other than the
wide publicity given these recon-
mendations which might compel
the avaricious employer to award
a fair wage. And Our plan is more
effective than the Australian
plan because our commission is
bigger and must needs bring
broader viewpoint to bear on the
issue.

and minors, but for everyone!
And I want this wage scientifcal-
ly fixed and enforced by state
industrial commission!
This we expect to do here as
soon as we are able to make this
new bill an operative law.
Other states, before they frame
such a bill as ours, will have first
to establish an industrial commits
sion, similar to the one provided
for in my bill which passed the
legislature here in 1911.
This commission was given
power to demand better working
conditions in whatever trade it
should find them unsatisfactory.
And it was given a sister power
to enforce its demands. The COM
mission itself combines two func-
tions-that of investigation and
that of judicial determination.
When it was established it open
ed the revolution in American
labor legislation. The minimum
wage law which I now propose
follows it as just the natural step
in the fighting out of Our indus
trial troubles.
"This new bill provides for a
living wage for women and
minors only because they are the
weaker members of the commun-
ity and should be protected first.
The bill provides that whenever
a female employee shall complain
that her wage is not sufficient to
maintain her standard Of living 2

Limit of / Per Cent a Month.

Twelve per cent a year, or j per cent
a month. is the limit of interest set in
the bill as adopted in the conference be-
tween the Senate and House. and that is
the proposition on which the House will
vote tomorrow. if the conference report
comes up for consideration.
The law. if enacted in accordance with
the strong stand of Representative john
son and Representative Adair in the con-
ferences. will include all classes of money
lenders, excepting. of course, the bank
ers and associations and corporations do
ing business at business rates of interest
The law will affect pawnbrokers, if
passed.
AS the bill passed the Senate it was diff
ferent from the measure as passed by the
House. Twelve amendments were added
and the House disagreed. The Senate
eventually receded from all but three, and
the House agreed with those three.

Maximum Loan to Be $500.

AS the bill now stands, with the con-
ference report signed by three senators
and three representatives. it provides that
the maximum amount OF money to be
loaned to any one person at time shall
he 500: that workhouse sentence and
fine shall be the maximum penalty for
offenses against the law; the bonds Of the
money lender shall be renewed annually
in October, and 1 per cent a month shall
be the maximum charge.
Representative johnson of Kentucky
probably is responsible for the clause
in the bill which includes pawnbrokers.
He held out for this against all odds in
conference, and with the assistance of
Mr.. Adair succeeded in attaining his
ambition to include all classes of money
lenders other than banks, etc.
The bill also includes the paragraph
which puts government employee in dan
ger OF losing his position If he carries
on a money-lending business at too high
a rate of interest.
