last night. II is expected that their

The women receive the same wage

the same increase in pay with each year
that passes. They do not, however. come
In for the SO monthly bonus paid all
men who work for twenty-one days in
each month. The officials of the en-
ployees association thought this was an
unjust discrimination against the women
and said so.
Mr.. Hedley told them. Mr.. Phelan de-
clared. that vastly different conditions
prevailed in the male and female labor
market and that the bonus was given
the men to keep them in the company's
service. as 1t was felt that. without It,
they would seek other employment
where they could earn more money.
There were plenty OF women who could
be obtained at the wages which were
being paid without bonus, Mr.. Phelan
said Mr.. Hedley asserted. and for this
reason the company had decided not to
offer il to female employees.

that some solution regarding the diff

admitted that he didn't know exactly
what IL would be.
