STATE GUARD
Off ON HIKE
Second Infantry Of Eight Hun
dred Men Left This Morning
For Timonium
MAY ENTER SERVICE

At the sound of assemble" this
morning 500 men, members of the Sec
ond Infantry Regiment, Maryland
State Guard. fell in line at the old
Fifth Regiment Armory, Baltimore,
and began their hike to Camp Waters,
Timonium, for Today period of train
ing. Considerable difficulty has been
experienced by officers of the regiment
in overcoming objections of employ
ers of the men relative to granting
them furloughs to attend the camp.
Each case, however, has now been
considered on it's merits and decided
to the effect that practically every man
in the command attended.
A more intensive program of train
ing has never been mapped out for a
Maryland unit. From morning till
night the men will be engaged in
learning the art of warfare, particu-
larly as it applies to domestic dis
turbances. Few residents of Annapo-
lis and other towns of the State real
ize how imminent such difficulties are,
although it is matter of record that
on at least three occasions in the past
Governor Harrington was contemplat-
ing the mobilization of the regiment
1t is also probable that the regiment
will be federalized during the camping
period. Originally formed for the pur-
pose of handling disturbances within
the borders of Maryland, it is most
likely that the regiment will be placed
at the command of President Wilson
to serve wherever needed. 1t has
been found that the present system of
State Guard is inadequate to meet the
needs of existing conditions, in that
the government has not sufficient con-
troll of their operations. This was
strikingly illustrated in the St. Louis
race riots, where the State authorities
refused to take prompt action and tied
the hands of the Washington authori-
ties.
The program of training as arrang-
ed provides for squad drills on Tues
day, shelter tent pitching on Wednes-
day, offensive tactics on Thursday and
regimental attack next Monday.
Other military problems will be work
ed out each day.

Is Wage For Working Class Family Figure Will Be
Guide In Future Wage Negotiations.

imum wages on government work,
cannot set maximum wage rate that
is less than this $1,760.50 The situa-
tion is so upset by the maximum wage
law that it may yet be the case that
Mr.. Frankfurter will be able to an
nounce to the wage workers of the
country that his board has fixed a
minimum wage of $1,800-which
would also be the minimum wage for
common labor-when the WalshTaft
board was plodding along with local
wage awards that reached only about
81 800 or 1900 year for that grade
of work
This competition between the War
Labor Board and the official body
headed by Frankfurter may result in
all sorts of advantage to the wage
working public.

Washington.-Wh the National
War Labor board voted recently
against fixing nationwide minimum
wage rate for common labor, it had
been securing the testimony of all the
best authorities in the United States
upon the subject of the cost of living.
The average amount which these au-
thorities-federal, state, municipal and
Northumberland was necessary to
maintain an American working class
family in decent health and comfort
with prices at their present level, was
$1,760.50 year.
That figure should be kept in mind
every time that wage rate is pro-
posed anywhere. 1t represents an av-
erage cost of food, clothing, rent, in
surance, ETC., for an average American
wage worker, his wife and two or three
growing children. One of the best
reasons stated by the War Labor
Board for not adopting the minimum
wage rule at once was the fact that
the board did not want to hamper any
war industry just now. That is, the
board did not want to force half of
the employers in the country, all at
once, to add SO or rs per cent to the
wage they are paying COMMON labor
1t might stop lot of plants.
But the figure stands-a guide to
wage negotiations. Toward that ST.
760.50 every award of the board hence
forth will lead. Slowly, and in degree
according to the cost of rent and food
in the locality. But the average of
the awards will rise steadily toward
this mark
And, of course, the National War
Labor Policies Board, which is in

rider in the sundry civil act to set
wage standards" which shall be max
