M!NIMUM WAGE
AND 8-H0UR Day
United States Labor Board Fixes;
40 Cents an Hour in
Eight Plants.
AFFECTS WAR INDUSTRIES.
Settlement of Other Disputes Applies
Basis Eieht-Hour Day-WiII Decide
Lowest diving Wage" for
Workers Generally.

Washington.-Five policies of far
reaching consequence in the employ
ment of labor were laid down by the
National War Labor Board. They
were:
I, Approval of the principle of the
eisht-hour day.
2. Insistence on the payment of Ia
Dor of diving wa3e."
8. Disapproval of the employment
Of children under fourteen years of
age on government contracts.
q. DisapproVaI of the direct or indi-
rect employment on government con-
tracts of prisoners who have been SEN,
fenced to hard labor.
S. Adoption of division line be-
tween the war industries in which
women should be employed and those
in which they should not.
In the adoption Of these principles,
applied in many instances to pending
labor disputes, the board, of which
former President VIM. H. Taft and
Frank P. Walsh are joint chairmens
has not hesitated to go beyond the.
rival claims Of the employers and the
employees
This was notably the case in the an
nOuncement by the board of its deci-
sion in the dispute involving 5000 en-
ployees in eight plants at Waynes-
bOrO, Pa. In this case the board es-
tabliShed 40 cents an hour as the mini
mum wage to be paid any class of
workers, including common laborers,.
on the theory that less than that
amount was not a living wage. By
living wage, it was explained, the
board means "the minimum rate OF
wage to permit the worker and his
family to subsiSt in health and COM
fort"
Application of the basic eight hour
day was ordered in settlement of labor
disputes at the Worthington Pump and
Machinery Company and Blake
knowles plants, East Cambridge,
Mass, and the Snow plant at Buffalo.
Previous wage awards for these plants
were approved by the entire board.
Tuesday, July %, was fixed as tho
date for determination by the board OF
what is a minimum living wage for
workers generally and for a decision
as to generaisapplication of tho eight
hour standard for a days work.
In the Waynesboro case the board
granted all wage increases sought by
skilled workers and made the lowest
rate for unskilled men 40 cents an
hour instead of 80, as the men request
o1 &c TN nf
as 81 per cent. for low paid men.

Death of Mrs. G. n. Powell

Matilda Stone Powell died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. F. P. Collins, on
Wednesday, July 10th. She was born
in Johnson Feb. I, 1888, a daughter of
Albert and Lorena (Pond) Stone. She
attended the Johnson Normal school,
where she wss a classmate of Admiral

until she was united in marriage TO G.
N. Powell of Richford. In 1868 they
moved to Eden, wnere she has since re-
sided, her husband dying in 1oo5.

church and followed faithfully in that
belief to the end. A woman Of strong
character and great activity in helpful
service, even her fall in Nov. 1916
which rendered her bedridden for the
remainder of her life, failed to render
her life less useful. for in the Red Gross
work, her happy letters to cher boy"
over there and the patient and CHEEKY
words to her loved ones here, she still
found her work to do.
AS a sincere Christian she lived up to
the maxim of "practicing what you
preach" A deep-seated conviction and
an abiding faith in the second coming
of her Saviour was a great source of
comfort and bulwork of strength when
she knew that she was entering 'the
valley of the ahadow of death" She is
mourned by large circle of friends.
The funeral took place Sunday and
were conducted by Rev. DR.. Barnes,
who spoke impressively of the life and
