BETTER PAY FOR WOMEN.
Trade Unionism the Only Remedy For
Low Wages.


At a symposium recently held at
Peoria, ILL.,, on the opportunities offer
ed for social service Miss Agnes Mes
tor, president of the Chicago Trade
Union league, said:
much has been said about the living
wage for the working girl, meaning by
this a wage barely sufficient for her to
live. We of the Trade Union league
wish more than this. We set high
standard and want the worker to re-
ceive not merely what will cover her
necessities, but a wage that will give
her Joy in life, leisure and opportuni-
ties for self improvement. We demand
that she receive an equivalent for what
she puts into the industry.
1T is the custom for the employer
about to hire a woman to ask If she
lives at home. This really means that
the employer intends to pay less to her
if she lives with her family, because
her support is partly met. Why should
she receive less? AS matter of fact.
that girl usually contributes her own
wages to the support. Should she not
receive Just what she earns by putting
her working power into the industry?
1.-THE remedy for these conditions of
unfair rewards for work is trade I'M
ionism. Only through the trade union
can we hope to get what is rightly
coming to us

DECIDES FOR WOMEN.
Federal Judge Declares Oregon Wage
Law Constitutional.


The first step toward final decision
of the Oregon minimum wage law by
the United States supreme court re-
suited when Circuit Judge Ceeton at
Portland rendered decision declaring
constitutional the act of the last Ore
gon legislature creating the industrial
welfare commission to administer the
law and defining the purposes of the
statute and the powers of the com
mission.
Holding that the limitations of the
police powers of the state must be de-
termined by reason and justice and
with due regard to the preservation of
public peace. health. morality and gen
eral welfare, Judge Cleeton denied the
application for writ Of injunction to
restrain the commission from putting
into effect it's order regulating the
wage to be paid women workers EN-
ployed in Portland factories. The
question of police power determined
most If not all of the objections raised
against the statute.
'The objects and purposes of the
statute being passed for the general
welfare" said Judge Cleeton, 1.-THE
statute must necessarily have liberal
construction, and by considering this
statute from this standpoint it is my
opinion that the regulation of the min
imum wage for women and minors, as
announced in the act, is within the
police power of the state and Is there
fore constitutional"

INSPIRING EXAMPLES.
Loyal Workers Generously Rewarded
by Wills of EMPLOYERS.


Like Benjamin Altman of New York
Herman Simon of Easton, Pa, left
the greater part of his business to be
continued Jointly by the employees
who had served him well during his
lifetime Simon was q wealthy manu-
facturer of silk products, whose death
occurred short time previous to that
of Mr.. Altman. An interest in his
manufacturing business to the value
of $3,750,000 was given to employees.
These persons could have converted
it directly into cash had they so de-
sired. But even those who had mort
cages on their houses or other finan-
cial needs agreed with the majority
to retain the shares bequeathed in
recognition of long and faithful serv-
ice and continue at work not mere
ly as employees, but as profit sharing
partners.
Mr.. Simon's prosperity brought in its
train q competence for thousands who
worked in the mills he built. He put
upon the market useful staple, and
he regarded the artisans not merely
as hired helpers, but as his colleagues
in the production of an article of en-
during value. His last testament, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Ledger, is
the reflection not alone of generous
disposition. but of an insight into the
philosophy of business that marks the
man of broad horizon and acute per-
ception, who deserves to command and
to succeed, who sets an inspiring ex-

There are many ways in which

Not only should there be the

HARDESTY IS IN
A BAD POSITION
VIOLATED PLAIN Law AFTER he
HAD BEEN TOLD WHAT
THE LAW is.

That Supervisor Samuel c. Hardesty
has participated in city contracting
work in direct violation of Act 80, OF
the Session Laws of 1911, and in so do.
ing has placed himself liable to fine
of not more than $1,000 OF imprisonment
not to exceed one year in Jail, was the
opinion handed down by Deputy City
Attorney Milverton in lengthy brief
read before the supervisors sitting in
special session yesterday afternoon
The brief further states that not only
were three jobs done in violation of
Act %, but that two were done with.
out the authority of the other board
members. Only part of the third Job
was authorized. All these jobs were
held to be null and void and payment
on them ordered stopped.
Even were ignorance &C the law nm
oScnse. reads the brief, it can not be
said that Mr.. Hardestv had no know
ledge of the existence of such a law,
or was ignorant of anything illegal or
improper about the transaction"
Had Been Warned.
Further on il goes to show that short
ly after the election of Hardesty to the
board, rumors that he had been doing
contracting work for the city and then
passing on the work himself, began to
drift into the county offices. The per-
SONS bringing this knowledge to the az
tention of Milverton were advised at
the time that the work was illegal and
Hardesty was so informed. This did
not seem to stop him, however, for on
February 10, 1913, Mr.. Devine made a
demand on the city in the sum of $23.l0
for what is termed "Constructing the
VOTERS Sidewalk in which the city
is charged the sum of $3.50 for one
and n half days work, claimed to have
been performed bv Hardestv Another
$3.50 for one and half days. work
claimed to have been performed by Mr..
Devine.
Later in the year, bill for $96.25
was filed against the city by Mr.. De
vine for five days work. In this claim
it appears that Hardesty earned $500
for his share in the work Both Har-
desty and Devine claimed $500 day,
while others on the same work were
being paid $500.
without Board Sanction.
The three bills which practically
caused the undoing of Hardesty,
dulOuht W PoIo''O' iNo VI Iheoc jus
were done without the sanction of the
members of the board, while the third
was done with only partial sanction.
Immediately following the reading of
the papers, Milverton explained the sit
uation and strongly urged the non
payment of the bills. Supervisor
Petrie then made motion that the
claims be stricken from the register
and it was adopted unanimously.
1t will now be up to Hardesty to
make the next move and whether he
will care to, is a matter of speculation.
1t is possible that if he were to attempt
to force the city into payment on the
jobs, he would be brought to trial for
violating the law.
