LABOR SAFEGUARDS
NOT TO Be BROKEN
FAIR WAGES AND PROPER HOURS
FOR TolLERs ARE SUGGEST
ED BY MANUFACTURERS.
In Haste TO Deliver The Needed War
Materials, Say orders Of Govern
ment Departments-Good Working
Conditions Called Essential.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, d. C.-Fair wage scales,
reasonable hours and good working
conditions are suggested to arsenal
commanders and manufacturers ex-
ecuting orders for the Bureau of
Ordnance and Quartermaster Depart
ment of the army in general orders
made public by those departments.
Attention is called to the fact that in
the haste to deliver the needed war
materials care must be exercised "lest
the safeguards with which the people
Of this country have sought TO protect
labor should be unwisely and unneces-
sarily broken down. Industrial his.
tory proves that reasonable hours, fair
working conditions and a proper wage
scale are essential to high production"
said the statement.
During the war every attempt
should be made to conserve in every
way possible all of our achievements
in the way Of social betterment The
Department wishes to be assured that
schedules of hours obviously exces.
! sive, or wage scales distinctly unfair
or working conditions such as should
not be tolerated, will certainly be
brought to its attention" The state
ment says circumstances are not such
as to render appropriate the issuance
of definite orders on this subject at
this time, and that mo effort is made
to establish Or even suggest, definite
rules Of conduct" 1t is recommend
ed that standards Of wages already es
tablished in the industry and the 10
cality should not be lowered and that
the minimum wage rates should be
made in proper relation to the cost Of
living.

would Just as soon send him to a drug
store with permission to buy all the
carbolic acid he could drink"
Another 11.year-old boy In the county
is being sought with warrant, charg.
ing Illegal hunting, but since the clerk
had refused him license he will not
be prosecuted on that charge, but for
