HITS AT INDUSTRIAL SLAVERY
Minimum Wage Bill Recognized as a
Step to Make the World "Safe
for Democracy" &


1t is encouraging to learn that at the
hearing before a congressional COM
mittee no opposition to the minimum
wage bill was offered by merchants in
the District of Columbia.
Working for less than minimum
wage Is the worst form of Industrial
slavery, and it is our imperative duty
today to centralize and concentrate
our utmost energies upon the wiping
out of this slavery, and the emancipa-
ton Of those it holds In bondage. Let
this world be made safe for democracy
first by giving to its working women
what Is theirs by right divine-the
means to live decently. They can then
be in q position to uphold decency, so
that when our men return from the
battlefield they will find us standing
for what is right and true, for all the
principles for which they went to fight
thus insuring to our country thrifty,
prosperous and contented future gen

Hiah Wages In italy.

Women's labor in Italy has doubled
In price during the last six months,
partly due to the employment given
by the government to women in fac
tories directed by the war department
or manufacturing materials for 1t. In
order to be sure of employment a
woman or girl must have a husband,
father, son or brother at the front.
Their lowest pay is seven lire per day,
or two to four lire above mems wages
paid before the war. Many earn
double this sum by overtime. The
wage is not now considered unusual
because In the same factories skilled
men workers earn as much as 100 lire
per day, sum once equivalent to $40
and before the war the average month
ly pay Of bookkeeper.
