MEETS DEMANDS OF LABOR
Shipbulldne Adjustment Board Grants
Eight-Hour Day and Increased
Wages-AIlows Open Shop.

General increases in wages, an eight
hour day with time and half pay for
overtime, free transportation where an
employee is compelled to spend more
than 10 cents day in car fare, and
provision for grievance committees of
employees are authorized in an award
by the shipbuilding labor adjustment
board, applicable to all wooden ship
yards south Of Baltimore and all steel
yards south of Newport News on the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
The decision follows in principle the
award in the Delaware aand Philadel-
phia districts which gave labor impor-
tant concessions for which the working
men have been fighting for years.
The boards decision prohibits any
discrimination between union and nom
union men.
In granting u basic eight-hour day
the board undertook to encourage the
institution of two and three shifts by
limiting overtime so that the total
work shall not exceed 60 hours week.
March 25 was made the effective
date of the award which is retroac-
tive as to wages to February 1 for all
Yards except those In which disputes
have been settled temporarily on bas-
Is of other dates.

SIT isn't a question Of philanthropy;
it's good business" was the statement
of Edward A. Filene Of Boston, speak
ing of minimum-Wage legislation in
Washington, recently. Mr.. Filene is a
director of the United States Chamber
of Commerce. AS owner Of one of the
largest speciality stores in the world,
in which a great number of women are
employed and in which the minimum
wage is in effect, Mr.. Filene speaks
from the viewpoint of an employer
who has an authoritative knowledge Of
the situation. 'We employers need
the legislation as much as the eli
plOyees," he said. Cheap wages mean
cheap standards. An underpaid en-
ployee has no desire to put strength
and interest into her selling. Decent
wages mean clever, intelligent selling.
If we keep working people harassed
and terrified with the thought of get
ting enough to live on, they cannot
make good salespeople. We bosses
need just dis much help from the mini
mum wage as the employees. Under
nourished employees are bad business
There is nothing SO costly as cheap
help"
Julia O'Connor, Il telephone oper-
ator, president of the W0man'S Trade
Union league Of massachusetts, and
member of two wage boards which
have determined fair wages for wom-
en-, gives the viewpoint Of the en-
ployee when she says: "What we
earn determines how we shall live. If
we earn just enough and are constant
ly worrying about how we can get
along, life is just four walls. We have
no interest in educating ourselves and
no ambition"
"What minimum-wagU legislation
ers' league, els the creation of a per-
manent wage board which in turn is
to appoint u subordinate wage board
for each occupation. These boards
are to consist of representatives of
employers, employees and the public,
After careful study of the cost of liy-
ing and after public hearings, mini
mum-wage rates are to be set for
women and Minors in each occUpa-
ton, sufficient to meet the necessities
Of life. This is not a new or reYolu-
tionary movement. In the last six
years II states have legislated to es-
tablish minimum wages for women
and children-Arizona Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Kansas, Massachu-
sets, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon,
Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. The
minimum-wage system has been in eff
feet in England eight years and in
Australia over 20 years. In April,
1917, the Supreme court Of the United
States declared the Oregon minimum
wage law constitutional"

Popular Detachment OFFICER Given
Position of Responsibility as Re-
ward of Merit-Reports at
MisSoula

First Lieutenant John Dudley Rob
erts, adjutant and court officer of
the State College training detach-
ment and in command of A company,
has been elevated to the rank of in
spection officer and left Sunday for
MissOula, Mont, where he will under
take his first work. Lieutenant Rob-
erts is assigned to inspection work
for the various students army train
ing corps now in operation and to be
established at all the principal educa-
tional institutions and it is expected
that the work will bring him to Pull
man frequently. The honor accorded
to Lieutenant Roberts is signal one
inasmuch as it is very seldom that an
officer of lower rank than captain is
assigned to inspection work, and
comes to the officer as a reward of
merit Lieutenant Roberts is a form
or student of the State College. His
departure from the State College de-
tachment is keenly regretted by every
man of the detachment and the peo-
pie of Pullman. 1t is said that only
the youth OF Lieutenant Roberts de-
ters his advancement to the rank of
captain.
The training detachment will here
after be known as Section A of the
student army training corps, the col
lege section to be designated as Sec
ton b. Colonel Willis r. May will
be in command of both sections, and
it is expected that the joint strength
Of the two sections will approximate
1000 men.

SAYS FARMERS SHOULD
Be GIVEN DEFERMENT
County Food Administrator Emerson
Urges Necessity of Leaving Young
Farmers on the Farm

Basing his contention upon the as
sertion that the agricultural interests
of eastern Washington, and particu-
larly Whitman county, will suffer
Unreasonable harm through the
present policy of exemption boards
in placing in Glass 4 young farmers
without dependents, County Food
Administrator J. n. Emerson, in
talk before the chamber of commerce
Tuesday urged that concerted steps
toward relieving the situation for flu
ture drafts be taken at once. Adj
ministrator Emerson asked the APP
pointment of committee to make a
full investigation and place its find
ings before the proper officials, and
President Neill named Mr. Emerson,
DR.. E. o. Holland and G. H. Watt as
a committee to undertake the investi-
cation.
Administrator Emerson called at
tention to the fact that through the
Redistribution of the registered men
who had previously been given defer
ment on agricultural grounds, an
overwhelming majority, or over 90
per cent of the last two contingents
sent from Whitman county were
young farmers. Some of these he
said. were forced to leave their crops
in the shock. and in some cases even
uncut, trusting to others to harvest
their grain. He pointed to the condi-
ton as a regrettable one, but at
tached no blame to the exemption
boards. who he said, were merely
following the instructions laid down
for them. 1--WE must have farmers
on the farms" said Administrator
Emerson. land every effort should
be made to relieve the situation, if
our agricultural interests are to be
protected"
Through the recent Redistribution
approximately 800 young farmers
were elevated to Glass A in Whitman
county alone, and the places of many
of these, according to Administrator
Emerson, can no more be filled by
available inexperienced help than
could the position of an expert in any
line be filled by a layman, without
resultant loss in output and disor-
ganization.
On the other hand, Administrator
Emerson urged that 1t is a patriotic
duty to see that no young man Is ex-
empted on agricultural grounds who
is not entitled to that exemption.
"Such a man." he said, should be
nulIed ont Of his pleasure automobile
and sent to the front"
