Of the Associated Press).-Australian

Gen. Monash said he FIRST reached
this conclusion in the early dawn OF
the Fourth Of July. 1913. when for the
nrst time Australian troops. fighting
side by side with the Americans in
the Somme sector, won the battle of
Hamel, and gave to the allied arms
the frst success they had achieved
since the Germans began their
memorable advance On March 81.
This battle was the turning point
Of the war" said Gen. Monash. TT

Will Have Unions Backing.

Aside from the usual purposes of a
labor organization to secure better wage
and working conditions. the women's
union will have for one of it's major OBJ
Jects enforcement of the minimum wage
law. In that effort they will have the
cordial and lively support of the Wom-
ems Trade Union League, which has
given assurance that it will see to it,
through specially appointed commit
tee, that the minimum wage of $3.50
is enforced. Two other factors, the bu-
reau OF engraving and printing women.
through Miss Nora James, president of
that union, and the National Federation
or Federal Employees, through Miss Ger
trude McNally, vice president of that
national organization, attended last
their organizations would back the new
union in securing the minimum wage
Wage Law Violations Reported.
Three woman clerks at the meeting
reported three instances of what they
termed enorts to avoid payment of the
minimum wage. One was a girl who
mad worked in a store only for two
months, but had had long experience
M other stores as a saleswoman, en-
tltling her to the wage, payment being
refused; another alleged case cited was
where married women were reported
TO nave been told by the manager of a
store to take a day off to look after
their domestic affairs at home. their
wage being cut day. According To
another story told by one woman a lit
tile over thirty years old. with experi-
ence as a saleswoman, she was classed
as as superannuated by reason of "old age
ana was therefore not entitled TO The
minimum wage of $3.50. Miss Ethei
Smith of the Women's Trade Union
League and a member of the minimI,n,
wage board has received reports on these
three cases, which she plans to inyesti-
