DECIDING ON
MINIMUM WAGE
Geo. J. WolffFears High Rate
For Beginners Will In;ure
Young Girls
ATTRACTS FROM ABROAD
Conference at Olympia on
Subject Fixes $40. a Week
For Experienced Help

Geo, j. Wolff, who was a member Of
the conference held at Olympia last
week, to fix a minimum wage for wo-
men in the state, thinks the women
nave occasion to rejoice over the min
imum of $40 a week adopted, which
is the highest in the United States,
and consequently the highest in the
world.
The conference consisted Of three
employers, three representing the
employees and three to represent tha
general public. According to Mr..
Wolff, the conference could bind moth
ing, the ultimate decision rests with
the state commission. The employ
ers desired a minimum of 5000, but
from the beginning found themselves
in hopeless minority, the represen-
tatives of the public siding with the
employees upon all questions that
arose.
The minimum of $40 is for expert
enced help, the rate for apprentices
and beginners is to be fixed by the In
dustrial Welfare Commission. Speak
ing on the subject, Mr.. Wolff said:
"The employees did not favor an
apprenticeship minimum, outlining
that even an inexperienced person
who has no knowledge of merchan-
dising should receive the minimum
of $40. If such would be the case, in
my estimation it would not be a
benefit, but actually detriment for
young girls whose ambition is to help
their parents or start to earn q live
lihood for themselves, for the reason
that If employers in the state of
Washington should be obliged to pay
a minimum wage Of $40 to inexperi-
enced help, it would cause experience
ed women from other states to come
here where the minimum is consider
able less, and naturally the eXperienc-
ed women would have the advantage
over the inexperienced girl and she
would not hold a position. which
would cause a great many unemploy-
ed women to seek housework or other
employment.
CAS- far as most of the stores on this
Harbor are concerned, it will not eff
feet very many, and am pleased that
the experienced people will get min
imum of $40, but I am in hopes that
the commissioners will act wisely on
the apprenticeship, for if they do
make mistake, it will work great
deal more hardship on the employees
than on the employers.
81 consider it an honor that I was
chosen for this important conference
and I am satisfied in my own mind
that l have done all that is fair and
square for all concerned"
