PEACE talk LEADS
TO HEAVY SELLING
and PRICES BREAK

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.--Peace talk led
10 heavy and general selling today In
the wheat market here. Prices weak.
ened rapidly, although much OF the
gossip was based only on rumors that
Germany was prepared to offer more
definite terms. Petrograd adyices
which seemed to indicate peace WITH
out victory was not out OF the question
for Russia tended also to spread bear
ish sentiment. Opening quotations
which ranged from " to 3ss lower
with May at SITS to $3.50 and July
at $3.50 to $1.507s were followed by
moderate further declines and then
something of rally.
Corn sagged with wheat, on the de-
cline, however, leading houses turned
to the buying side. After opening %
20 5s6% lower the market underwent
further losses before beginning to re-
cover.
Oats shared the weakness Of other
cereals. About the only demand came
from shorts.
Lightness Of offerings strengthened
provisions. Higher prices on hogs de-
tered selling and so too did peace
talk.

.BOOKHEARTS FIGURE
IN BIGAMY ACTION

Former Richmond citizens are NAM
ed as principals in a bigamy case
which has been filed at Anderson. A
dispatch says that Mrs. Grace M. Book
heart, has been accused of a bigamous
marriage with Herbert Claude Brunt.
She gave bond for $4,000
The affidavit against her was filed
by Harry Bookheart, lawyer Of
Springfield, O.. but formerly of this
city 1t is alleged by Bookheart that
his wife knew she had not been d.
vorced. In 1915. he alleges she filed
a complaint against him at Richmond
for divorce and the case was sent 70
New Castle where it is still pending
trial.
Mrs Bookheart's marriage to Brunt
took place on March Is. 1916. There
was quite surprise when she filed
a suit for divorce in the circuit court
Dec. IL from Harry Bookheart. She
alleged at that time she thought she
had been divorced from Bookheart in
Henry county

LAIL AND COWELL
WILL BE CANDIDATES FOR DEN.
YER SCHOOL BOARD.
Have Support of Denver Civic Asso-
citation for Purpose of Ousting
Jones and Hilliard in Recall.

The two candidates for the school
board whom the Denver Civic and
Commercial association will support
at the school recall election to be held
on July 81 for the purpose Of outsing
Ben B. Jones and Ben G. Hiliard and
choosing their successors are Mrs. w.
S. Lail and Mr.. F. H. Cowell.
The executive committee of the civic
and legislative bureau has been giving
careful consideration for days to the
selection of candidates, in order to
find the best man-and the best wom-
an-for the place. 1t has been the
intention of the bureau from the start
to propose a lady candidate for the
school board. Not only is the public
school an institution in which mothers
are keenly and vitality interested, but
women have served in the past with
credit on the Denver school board, and,
furthermore, the ladies are entitled to
such recognition of the gallant fight
they put up for the cause of righteous
ness at the May school election.
Mrs. Lail is the women's own choice
for candidate to the school board. Not
only. will she have the active support
of the women's organizations of the
city, but she is unusually well quail
fled to fill the position. Before her

yer. She now has children of her own
in the Denver public schools. She is
member of the board and an active
worker in the Mothers congress and
association. She also
served with Messrs. Hallett and Tay-
lor on the school survey committee
appointed some time ago to investigate
and report on the school building sit
uation. The recommendations con-
tained in their report are already bear
school board. She gave hearty sup
port to the women's school election
committee, of which she is member,
during the May school election cam
paign, but has taken no part in the
recall proceedings.
Representative opinion likewise IA
vored the nomination of Mr.. F. H.
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-07-21

Cowell He is a well known contrac-
tor, having been a resident of Denver
for thirty-seven years. He has taken
an active interest in school affairs, and
children of his own have gone thru
the Denver schools. His father was
for sixteen years president of School
District No. 2, now part of the Denver
school system in Arapahoe county,
taking in West Side high and other
schools on the west and south sides.
He is exceptionally we'll fitted from a
personal standpoint to serve on the
school board, and, in addition, there
are genuinely important reasons why
a man of Mr.. Cowell's profession
should be on the board in view Of the
extensive building and improvement
program which is being undertaken.
The bureau declares it has reason
to believe that Mr.. Cowells candidacy
will prove popular with the trade un-
ions and labor organizations.

PAY SET
AT$1O WEEK FOR
WOMEN CLERKS
CALIFORNIA HAS HIGHEST
STIPEND IN u. S.
State Industrial Welfare Commission
Establishes Weekly Wage for Fe-
male Employees in American
Mercantile Business.

The California industrial welfare
commission has set the minimum
weekly wage for adult women in the
mercantile business at $40, the highest
in the United States. That decision
writes finis across the stories of the
unhappy struggles of hundreds of girls
behind counters and in the employ of
wholesalers. The new wage scale will
be in effect by the first week Of Sep
tember. According to Mrs. Katherine
Phillips Edison, 1866 per cent of the
women in mercantile industries in that
state receive less than $40 a week,
1876 per cent receive less than SO and
61.7 per cent of the minors receive
less than Sc weekly.
Not only does the minimum wage
regulation concern the weekly wage
but it also insures a scale of advances.
The experienced adult is entitled to
the weekly $40 and the adult learner"
will receive So week. The minor
will be given Sc week. At the end
of every six months of employment
every worker is entitled to an auto
matte raise of so cents a week.
Protection Provided.
The wages for $4,000 girls affected
by the law will be determined accord
ing to age and length of employment.
Salaries will be computed on the basis
of the minimum wage plus any raises
to which the individual is entitled. To
block any attempt by firms to evade
the rate for adults by employing mi
nors the regulation has been made
that no concern may have more than
25 per cent of its force enrolled as
learners"
In an effort to protect the regular
worker, the unmarried girl from the
"part-time" worker who is generally
a married woman, the commission or
ders that all "part-time" workers be
paid for a full eight-hour day. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Edison many stores
have the custom of allowing married
women, formerly in their employ, to
return to the payroll and work for pin
money during the rush part of the day.
The unmarried girl who has herself
to support does the heavy work morn
and evening caring for the stock, but
is prevented from advancing herself
by showing good record of sales on
account of the other woman. 1t is be-
lieved by the commission that firms
will not be willing to give full wages
to the "part-day" worker and there
fore she will disappear from the in
dustrial world.
Highest Wage in United States.
1t is the hope of the commission
that the public schools will hasten vo-
cational training, including classes in
craftsmanship. In this event high
school graduate can enter the indus
trial world as an experienced worker,
escaping the learning period.
The regulation of the minimum
wage for women by the commission
composed of Judge Frank j. Murasky,
A. B. c. Dohrmann, Alexander Gold
stein, Walter Matthewson and Mrs.
Edison had been delayed until the su-
preme court of the United States de-
cided the law to be constitutional. Cal
fornia has the highest minimum wage
yet established. In Massachusetts, the
law calls for 1925 and $3.50 is the
minimum in Oregon.
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-07-21

There is so much religion in the Ia
Dor movement, and so much of the
social spirit in the church, that, with
the inevitable development of each in
these respects, it will some day become
a question as to whether the church
will capture the labor movement, or
whether the labor movement will cap
ture the church.
1t is becoming quite clear to most of
US that neither side can afford to ig-
more the other. While there are good
and sufficient reasons for the church to
discuss the problem of how it may
save the people, there are also most
excellent reasons which prove that the
people must save the church.
Workingmen almost universally
honor Jesus as great friend and lead
er. A recent writer said: In that
fortress of progress which the Social
ist workingmen of Belgium have built
in Brussels, the Maison du Peuple, as
you pass from one part to another of
that hive of many activities, you may
happen to go into an upper lecture
hall and note across the end of the
platform great curtain hanging. 1t
is drawn reverently aside, and behind
it one sees a fresco of the form of
Jesus, with hand uplifted pointing the
way above. 1t is surely deeply signi-
ficant of the vital power of His mes
sage, and of the way He wins men
still to follow Him"
Almost every mention of the name
of Jesus in workingmen's meetings
brings forth the most hearty applause.
The average workingman is natur-

RELIGION IN THE LABOR MOVEMENT
By THE REV. CHARLES sTELzLE

ally religious. His religion may not
always be expressed in the orthodox
manner, but it is there, nevertheless.
Infidelity scarcely exists among work
ingmen. AS a matter of fact, they
respond most readily to the religious
appeal. 1t is the testimony of nearly
every preacher that engages in shop
meetings that they are never listened
to with greater respect and with great
er interest by any other kind of an
audience.
The social question is fundamentally
a moral and a religious problem. In
the end there will be not one answer
to the social question but many. But
all will agree in this-all will be re-
iigious. It will never be settled upon
any other basis. History has prophe
coming to recognize it. Present re-
form measures indicate it.
These things prove that the work
ingman, in his devotion to Jesus and
in his natural religious disposition, is
in an attitude of mind which makes
him peculiarly ready for the introduc-
ton of great moral motive. Insofar
as he responds to this principle, will
he be given power in the industrial
