Capital Comment
BY CLYDE q. TAVENNER
CONGRESSMAN frcm the Fourteenth District.

a complaint before the district wage
commissioner. That official sets
date for hearing and summons wit
nesses. The procedure is made simple
by the bill so that no complainant
will be compelled 10 hire an attorney,
but can conduct his own case.
Having the power of a court, the
commissioner can put Witnesses on
oath, can determine the ability of the
employer to pay wages, and from this
and expert testimony he decides on
the standard of living to which the
! complainant is entitled and whether
/ the wage received is sufficient to pay
for this standard of living.
In case the commissioner decides
that the wages paid are too low, he
can set the minimum wage which the
employer must pay to any particular
workman or group of workmen, and
if the employer after this decision
refuses to pay the wages set by the
commissioner he can be punished in
any court and can be sued by the
workman for the difference between
the wages actually paid during the
whole term of his employment and
the minimum set by the commissioner.
The employer is given the right OF
Appeal to any state or federal court
from the decision of the wage COM
missioner. But-and this is one OF
the most progressive features of the
bill-the measure provides that the
award of the commissioner goes into
effect Immediately, and that the mini
mum wage is paid all during any court
proceedings which may follow.
Otherwise, whenever a commission
, er wouldy set a minimum wage, the
employer might enjoin the decision
and then fight case for years through
: the courts.

Preceding the wheat harvest there
is much of preparation. Many things
are to be looked after. Railroads patch
up every box car that can be made ser
vieeable Thousands of men travel to-
ward the wheat country, where addi-
tional workers are needed. This army
of harvesters includes the ordinary
farm laborer, the professional hobo,
the unfortunate man out of employ
ment. and now in large numbers the
college student who makes both mon
ey and muscle in vacation days. City
banks send out gold and silver to pay
the harvesters. Butchers in small
towns, where ordinarily but a few hun
dred pounds of meat are sold in a
week, place greatly increased orders
with packers, knowing that farmers
will buy literally of the "thresher's
