ments To the draw bridge spanning

gate at the last meeting OF the board.
and Chairman Gus Hartman has two
engineers considering feasible plan
to make economical repairs
At the last meeting of the board
ries he installed at either side Of the
draw, To decrease the amount Of bridge
traffic. The supervisor from Franklin
township suggested that these ferries
be run by electricity, conducted along
stationary cable lines. Chairman
not in favor OF this plan himself but is
Wiling To investigate and should ii be
pronounced practicable by the engi-
neers, he is open to conviction.
Another Of the many suggestions is
that permanent sidewalk OF concrete

involves the question as to whether or
not the bridge can hold up the added
weight.
The meeting promises to be an in
teresting one and Chairman Edwards
urges every supervisor to attend. AL
though the bridge question will prob
ably take up most OF the time, other
important matters will also be consid-

STUDY female
LABOR IN U. P.
State Commission Inquiring Into
Working Conditions of Women

With a view toward submitting re-
port on female labor in Michigan, prep
aratory TO the probable introduction in
the next legislature of bill for min
imum wage for women, the state COM
mission Of inquiry shortly will conduct
an investigation in Houghton, Hancock
and Calumet. While the scope Of the
vestigation will not be as large as that
in lower Michigan, because OF the bet
ter working conditions north OF the
straits, the commission will study the
problem in business houses, telephone
exchanges, laundries and factories in
which more than ten people are en-
ployed.
The commission consists OF Judson
Grenell. chairman, Waterford; Charles
S. Beadle, Detroit; Myron II. Walker,
Grand Rapids, commissioners; and
Luella NJ. Burton, secretary, together
with Mrs. Margeret Adams of Lansing.
When the statistics for the entire
state are prepared. the commission will
make a comprehensive study OF the
ture its findings relative to the ad-
visibility OF establishing minimum
wage for women workers. The COM
missioners emphasize the fact that no
retributiye use is to be made of the in
formation gathered and that the in
quiry is n friendly one, the sole object
being to determine whether or not a
minimum wage is needed in this state
That working conditions and particu-
larly those among women in the upper
peninsula, are more satisfactory than
those south OF the straits, is empha-
sized by Mrs. Adams who, in Menomi-
nee, declared that the commission was
undecided at first as to whether or not
the inquiry would be conducted in this
district.
