Charges She
Wasn't Paid
Lawful WAGE

The first case Of its kind In the
whole state under the minimum
wage law for women was filed
yesterday afternoon by Homer T.
Bone, before Justice Graham,
when he asked sat Judgment
against the Tacoma Biscuit and
Candy Co. for Miss Lois Ray
mond, a former employe.
Miss Raymond alleges that she
was employed for several months
In 1914 and 1915 by this company
at So week, when the minimum
wage law reuired that she should
be paid $500.
III she wins her case, II is pos
sible that the company also will
become defendant in = criminal
suit brought by the state. The
labor unions of the city are be-
hind Miss Raymond in her fight.
Another case which the unions
are behind is that OF Miss r. T.
Betsinger, who alleges she was
employed continuously for many
months In the Majestic cafe for 10
hours q day.
The date of this case has not
yet been set. The case OF Mro.
Raymond is set for Sept. IS.

LENOX, Mass, Sept. To-
There is one point in America, al
least, where the approaching de-
parture of DR.. Theodore Con-
stantin Dumba, ambassador from
Austria Hungary, is deeply de-
plored.
And that is the Lenox Country
club, where the leaders in
Americas most exclusive social
sets gather for golf and dances.
This beautiful summer home
land of famous millionaires,
where Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt
Is staying at her magnificent
estate of Shadowbrook; where
Mrs. John e. Parsons, widow of
the sugar king, has palatial
residence; where Mrs. Samuel
rockingham, sister of former
Secretary of the Navy George Won
l.. Meyer, resides, exactly re-
verses ths attitude of the rest of
the nation toward DR.. Dumba.
America welcomed DIR.
Dumba at his ARRIVAL,
but feels little regret at his
DEPARTURE.
Lenox practically turned
the cold shoulder ON him
when he ARRIVED, but
since then he has won the
social heart and IL is his GO
ing that is NOW sincerely
regretted HERE!

or the $4,000 which they
originally proposed, they sliced
off only $50, 900, despite requests
that the fund be cut squarely in
two.
Wide-Tire Inspector, $1,000.
Also, the fact that deserted and
divorced mothers can no longer
receive aid under The mothers
pension act has resulted in a
general increase in appropriations
for straight charities. The prin-
ciple is, more money for charity
and handouts and less for a
mother to keep her children to-
gether with.
Wide-tire inspector is still kept
at 81, zoe a year. He was Stay
den's campaign manager.

ANGELO VANCE FAWCETT, MAYOR:
The people of Tacoma look with trust and
confidence upon the plans and projects which
you back as mayor of Tacoma.
The vast majority of them have come to know
that you are honest, fearless, and Square
shooter"
The best proof they have had of this was
your fight which resulted in the establishment
of Tacoma's municipal dock That fight you
waged against the big railroad interests, the pri-
vate dock monopoly, the big special-interest
newspapers You remained firm and won out.
Today you have left as monument to your
vision and fearlessness municipal dock which
has had a very great part in the upbuilding of
Tacoma in the last half decade, and which is be-
coming more important each day.
Tacoma's shores are no longer railroad mo-
nopolied Tacoma has been assured forever of
cheap dockage, by the people and for the people.
Now mayor, an even more successful munich
pal project is the peoples light plant, and still
another is the peoples water plant. JUST AS
YOUR DOCK ASSURES THE PEOPLE
CHEAPER AND BETTER DOCKAGE FOR
EVER, so THE LIGHT PLANT ASSURES
THEM CHEAP AND ABUNDANT LIGHT
AND POWER, AND THE WATER PLANT
CHEAP AND PURE WATER.

Taking the position that the
Juggling of city funds Is unjusti-
fable, the trustees Of the Com
nlercial club yesterday afternoon
expressed their disapproval of the
commission avowed plan to raise
q goodly part of next years taxes
by levies on the light fund.
This resolution, the first formal
expression of a civic body since
The Times began its campaign,
reached the city hall today.
Expressing the fullest sympathy
with the unusual situation which
the council faces this year,
through the loss of license rev.
enue and the decrease in the city s
assessed valuation, the club Of
fered Its aid and advice In at
tempting to solve the problem.
Fundamentally Unbusinesslike.
THE trustees held" said Presi-
dent George Stone today, that
II the council once got the idea
that the light fund was sort Of
pot from which 1t could draw OK
cess funds whenever they seemed
to be needed, we would have a
fundamentally unbusinesslike
scheme of municipal taxation.
"The commission" he continu-
ed, faces most difficult situa-
tion, and It should have the full
est cooperation of all citizens.
But that need not deter US from
the firm ideal that the water and
light fund should be kept in
tact"
