on those awful floors?"
MY, there isn't even any pill

1t was the sociological class of

class, headed by Professor John
r. Hays, inspected Tacoma's city
jail, central station, Bertillon of.

shrieks of Mortified surprise,

OLYMPIA, May 14-HOw much
a week shall the girls and women
who toll eight hours "A day in hot

tllreshed out today by the COM
mittee of employers, employees
and disinterested persons which
will recommend a minimum wage

Yesterday the committee agreed
upon a minimum wage of $500
for women employed in factories.
The employers on the committee
started at $3.50 and gradually
came up to $3.50. The employees
started at $40 and came down TO
50. A compromise of 1915 was
proposed and voted for by the en-

interested members voted IT
down. Finally 6 wage of $3.50
