sitting in Olympia.
This minimum is said to be higher
than that established for women em
ployees in any other state in the I'm
ion. In Oregon the minimum is SO. 25
for the city Of Portland and SS.25 for
the rest Of the state.
The conference agreed to leave the
question of rules for apprentices to
work at less than the minimum wage
altogether to the discretion of the in
dustrial welfare commission. Each
one Of the nine members of the con-
ference expressed the opinion that
some provision should be made for
apprentices. After deciding upon the
minimum wage the conference passed
on to the consideration of conditions
OF labor in mercantile stores and will
make recommendations along this line
also. The ten dollar scale is recon-
mendation to the commission, which
may either accept or reject the recon-
mendation, but has no power to change
the amount
Since the recommendation was unan-
imous the ten dollar wage scale proba-
bly, will be ordered into effect. The
scale will apply to all woman onr!s1---

When Andrew Carnegie il asked

every Saturday afternoon to loan
books to those who could not afford
to buy their own. Among these was
