MINIMUM WAGE 40 GENTS.
U. s. War Labor Board Decides
Toiiers Can Not Eive on Loss.

Toiters Can Not ltve on Loss.
Washington, July 13.-Five policies
Of far-r reaching consequence in the
employment Of labor were laid down
by the national war labor board. They
were:
I. Approval Of the principle OF the
eight hour day.
O. Insstence on the payment to labor
OF a living wage"
g. Dlsapproval Of the employment OF
children under IA on government con-
tracts.
4. Disapproval OF direct or indirect
employment on government contracts
of prisoners who have been sentenced
to hard labor.
5. Adoption OF dividing 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 by the board in many instances
to labor disputes pending before that
body, the board. Of which former Presi-
dent William H. Taft and Frank P.
Walsh are joint chairmen, has not
hesitated to go beyond the rival claims
Of employers and the employees.
This was notably the case in the an
nouncement by the board today Of Its
decision in the dispute incolving 5000
employees In eight plants at Waynes-
boro Pa.
In this case the board established 40
cents an hour as the minimumswage to
be paid any class Of workers, including
common laborers, on the theory that
less than that amount was hot a living
wage. NO.
BY living wage. II is explained, the
board meant "the minimum rate OF
wage to permit the worker and his
family to subsist in health and COM
fort"
Final determination Of the living
wage question in its broader applica. :.
tion was to be disposed OF at special
meeting OF the board July %.
