Sacramento, Cal, March 21.-That

sure which is being circulated in

The law would make it a criminal
offense for any employer to pay any
person over l 8 years of age less than
$3.50 a day. while for children under
is years $3.50 a day is made the
minimum.
1t is provided that the employer
may pay part of the wages in board
and lodging, but that not more than
20 cents day shall be deducted on
this account
Violation of the law is defined as
mlsdemeanor punishable by a fine of
not less than $50 nor more than
5000, or Imprisonment between one
