HOW THIS STATES
GIVING ITS GIRLS
LIVING WAGE Rate

Staff Special
OLYMPIA. Wash. May IS.
You are your brothers
keeper. And your sisters.
That's what these wage con-
fcrences mean.
II you are an employer.
there was a time when you
could calmly shrug your shoul-
der and say it wasn't any OF
your concern if the girl who
worked for you couldn't man
age on the wage you paid
her.
You don't say that now. II
is your concern.
Washington is demand
ing that her daughters.
sisters. wives and moth
ers should get wages that
will enable them to live
deeently.
How il that minimum wage to
be determined
The law vests the authority TO
fix wages for girls in a commission
Of which Labor Commissioner Oh.
son is chairman
Members OF Commission
The other members OF the com.
mission are Mrs. Jackson Silhaugh
of Seattle. Mrs. Florence IL. Swan
son of Raymond. Mrs. W. IL. Udahl
of Tacoma and Rev. NJ. II. Marvin
of Sunnyside.
But this commission has deter
mined 10 let the employers and
employees get into conference with
disinterested representatives OF the
general public to thresh the mat
ter out for themselves and thus
leave no further room for argu-
ment.
Employer 10 Learning
The plan adopted calls for three
employers and three employees in
the industry under consideration,
and three disinterested citizens.
That Is why the employer of
today is busy learning what IL
costs a girl to board, how many
pairs OF shoes she needs a
year, the price OF petticoats,
and underwear, and suits.
Yes. and he is learning, too,
that working girls need recre-
alton and that II must bc paid
out Of her wages.
The commission has printed
forms asking both employers and
employees to estimate what II costs
working girl for meals. room,
shoes and rubbers. repairing shoes,
stockings. underwear, petticoats,
suits. coats, dresses. and aprons.
shirtwaists. handkerchiefs. corsets.
corset waists, gloves, neckwear.
hats, umbrellas. repair of clothing,
laundry, medicine and dentistry.
street car fare, newspapers and
magazines. stationery and postage,
association dues, insurance, vaca-
tion expenses, amusements. church
and other contributions. incl
dentals
Force Compromises
II is natural that the employers
should estimate all these items at
the very lowest cost
II is natural that the employees
estimates should be higher than
the employers
And there's where the three dis
interested members of the confer
ence strike a fair average.
Thus II was the three representa-
tives of the public who threw the
balance In favor of the girls In the
mercantile establishments and
fixed the minimum wage ut $40,

CHARITY DIRECTORS
TO LIMIT SESSIONS
Board Will Sit for Only One
Hour in Business Meet
ings.

Keeping their work strictly along
business principles. the executive
board of the Central Bureau OF Char
tiles decided at a meeting yesterday
that no meeting would be held in the
future of more than one hours length.
The unanimous vote Of the members
will be required for an extension, and
then the meeting will not continue for
more than thirty minutes.
The members did not take up any
new matters, but settled their routine
business. No complete report has ever
been made on the finances, but it is
said that a much larger amount should
be in than is subscribed. Members
Of the organization have been too busy
to do much soliciting. but that good
responses have met all their efforts
Some of the members believe that
it is better to wait until the air has q
winter sting to it, as charity argu-
ments can be made more impressive.
They say that many persons do not
appreciate the fact that there will be
suffering among others until they can
feel the effects of the season them
selves.
