C0NFEREES FIX $40 AS
MINIMUM WOMEN'S WAGE


wage conference voted unanimously
this morning to recommend to the
minimum wage commission a mini
mum wage of so for all female en-
ployes in the mercantile industries OF
the state, except apprentices, and
voted to leave the matter of appren-
ticeship, as to length of term and
wages to be paid apprentices, to the
commission itself, to be acted on later.
This wage is rs cents higher than
the recently established wage for this
class of work in Oregon.
The minimum wage commission an
nounced tonight that hearing would
be held April 18th in this city on the
recommendation made today by the
conference of $40 for a minimum
wage in mercantile establishments.
The hearing will open for the appear
ance of the public or directly inter-
ested parties to discuss the matter be-
fore the commission takes action on
the adoption of the scale.
The vote today came after long and
argumentative sessions, during which
at times it appeared impossible that
an agreement could be reached. While
the matter of minimum wage itself
was a hard one for the members of
the conference to agree upon,-recom-

made by various members of the con-
ference-the actual division occurred
on the matter Of apprenticeship, and
it was only through the exercise Of
marked diplomacy on the part Of
Chairman e. w. Olson, Rev. M. H.
Marvin, Mrs. Frances c.. Axtell, legis-
lative representative from Whatcom
county, and other members of the
minimum wage commission, that dis
agreement was avoided, and wage
established by a divided vote. The
commission was unanimous that the
could be adopted
without contentious, and the $40 mini
mum wage is almost certain to be
adopted by the commission for the
first year.
J. L. Paine, G.. j. Wolff, and w. N.
Cuddy, employers on the conference.

sary for the welfare of the mercantile
industry, and for the protection of the
employees themselves against being

be established, at first
fixing this at eighteen months, but
later agreeing to make It twelve
with wages of Sc to start, and
ST for the last three months.
The three women present represent
ing the employees, were even more set
in their opposition to this longtime
opposing it altogether
and standing firm against more than
six months and less than 81 wage at
any time during apprenticeship.
Numerous futile attempts were made

ence could be assured by the COM
mission that certain apprentice regu-
ation would be made by the commits
,ion, in whom the the law vests the
authority on this point.
No way could be found legally, how
ever, and the employers finally yielded
he additional point and voted for the
loo ~wx4f

Pure Water
A Necessity

Tell me what you eat and drink and
I viii tell you what you are" is
statement said to have been made by
one OF the great doctors Of modern
times That the world is rapidly COM
ing to this line OF reasoning is proved
by the increased attention that is con-
stantly being given the Pure Food and
Drink problem.
1t has long been recognized that the
continued good health Of city was TO
a great extent dependent on the purity
OF its water supply and much time and
large sums Of money have been expend-
ed in the effort TO secure for the mod
ern city a supply Of water that at all
times is pure and free from disease
bearing bacteria In some parts OF the
country il has been found impossible TO
do this; in these places daily bulletins
as to the fitness Of the water Tor drink
ing and cooking purposes are issued,
and when the supply is below the stan
dard the public is urged TO use distilled
water or the city water only after DOLL
ing.
has been found to be the cause OF
much sickness and TO prevent its use
many cities have given the health de-
partment the power TO condemn ana
destroy all wells Of this description
There has been large increase IN
the use OF distilled and mineral waters
for drinking purposes in recent years
and especially during the summer sea
son is their use recommended
To avoid many of the ills that are
common during the heated term follow
carefully these suggestions: DO not IN
der any circumstances use water from
a dug or driven well; watch the papers
carefully for bulletins by the health
department as to the condition OF the
city water supply and follow explicitly
their directions and suggestions; the
use Of a moderately cool distilled or
r1inera1 water for drinking is recon-
mended: do not drink extremely cold
water or other beverages; II is much
better to drink frequently and small
quantity at each time than large
quantity at long intervals; moderation
in all things Is the secret Of health.
be moderate in your eating and drink
ing and the doctor will pay but few
visits to your house.

Cotton was king Of the custom house

Cotton figures show the eronm-
Gus increase in business through the
FL PasO port because of the diversion
Of the Laguna cotton TO the north The
custom records show that 2l,85O,200
pounds Of the fleecy stuff was shipped
through this city during the months OF
April May and June. At a low est1-
mate of ten cents a pound, this cotton
is estimated to be worth Sz,lS5,OOO,
gold. Importers say that the greater
part Of this money is being spent in
FL PaSO or deposited IN the local banks.
The owners are either on the border
or have their representatives here. The
brokers are living here and the cotton
men say that If Fl Paso had cotton
mills TO work the cotton the remainder
Of the money plus the profit OF manu-
facture would remain in FL Paso-
Cattle Imports
Cattle business during the three
months totaled 1897 head which is
below the average number of cattle
brought out Of Mexico, owing to the
interrupted railroad service and the
disputes as to ownership. Yet these
cattle were valued at S69Z,S14. Like
the cotton they come into the country

brought from Mexico in increased num-
bers because Of the new tariff. In
stead Of the fiat rate Of $50 head on
horses and mules, the present duty Of
10 percent Of the value has increased
the number OF importations TO 6l5
