WOMERS MINIMUM WAGE
BILL TO BE DELAYED

Phoenix. ARK, June Mrs. Rep
resentative Rosa McKay's women's
minimum wage bill will have to be
delayed in enforcement till submitted
to a vote Of electors IN November,
1918. The reference has been assured
by referendum petitions bearing
nearly 5000 names. lately received at
the office of the secretary of state.
A score or more OF protests have been
received by the secretary from per-
sons who allege they signed the petit
tons under misrepresentation of facts
and who even have sent affidavits to
secure elimination OF their names
The bill, one of the first introduced,
calling for So a week. was passed in
the last hours Of the legislature,
amended down to SO a week, though
with no provision for apprentices.
Considered a labor union measure, in
fact il had slight support from union
leaders, who expressed the opinion
that the proper way to secure a
higher wage scale was to organize
women workers and make their de-
mands through regular union chan

ENGINEERS To
STAND READY
Pres. Barnes and Julius
Krakauer Say It's Time
for Command.

we will have ample time to get
into the war il il develops as it
promises and we viii have plenty to
do when that time comes. but the
best that we can do for the present
is to saw wood with the prevailing
motive that we are but to receive
commands from the government and
to carry out the specifications TO the
letter." said A. F. Barnes, OF the New
Mexico engineering school, and prs!-
dent of the Southwestern Society of
Engineers, at the monthly luncheon
of engineers in Hotel Sheldon Satur-
day.
Mr.. Barnes presented a plan to the
% engineers present that each should
consider himself a committee Of one
to increase the membership Of the as
sociation and TO interest every en-
gineer in the work which may ulti-
mately lead to service for the gov
eminent on the battlefield
Time Commands Only.
"I believe that the engineer has .
definite part TO play in the war
said julius Krakauer. The engineer
ais the ability to obey and to execute
the plans OF others. regardless of the
results and the consequences This
is not the time for appeal by the
mands only. There has never been a
greater call for the work OF engineers
or a greater need for their service
than there will be in the near fu-
ture."
Need Captains and Majors.
"I have been informed by army Of
ficers that there is an abundance Of
second and first leutenants in the
army. but that there is a scarcity of
captains and majors and that these
places will have to be filled by the
older and more experienced men from
the civilian ranks of the engineers,
said dean s. II. Worrell. Of the School
Of Mines. Some Of these men will
be needed in 80 days. Whatever
comes up let US do our duty to the
country, regardless of the personal
and the financial sacrifice"
