22.cent Waco Rate for Women.

A minimum wage of % cents IN
hour for women in industry probably
will be ordered by the Wisconsin in
dustrial commission soon. The report
of the advisory board, appointed to
conduct hearings and to investigate
the situation as regards female en-
ployment holds that the lowest wage
for women in the state should be %
cents per hour, after the first six
months of training in the work en-
gagged in.
A minimum of 1S cents for the first
three months, followed by minimum
of 20 cents for the second three
months of learning, is recommended
by the committee.
For persons between the ages of
fourteen and sixteen, working under
special permit, a minimum of IS
cents is set. For persons between the
ages of sixteen and seventeen, the
minimum is 20 cents, after the termi-
nation of the six months period.
The law requires that the industrial
commission set q minimum wage for
women. Hearings in various parts of
the state were attended by represent
atiyes of both employers and EN-
ployees. The order, which win be
sent out soon by the industrial com
mission, will affect workers in stores,
telephone Offices and in many minor
occupations. The women workers in
shops will not be affected to any ex-
tent, since all shop workers now re-
ceive q fairly good living wage. some
what above the minimum recommend
ed to the industrial commission.
Reversing its position of last week

the nomination of candidates for state
offices and the drafting of party plat

$ll,OOODAILY COST
OF KEEPING US. DRY
Treasury to Ask $1,000, 900 to
Start Prohibition Enforce
ment Machinery.

The cost of making the United
States dry will be much heavier than
Congress anticipated when it passed
the Prohibition Enforcement Law.
The Treasury Department will be
compelled to ask for nearly $4,000, 900
in addition to the appropriation of
s2,OO0000 in the Volstead Act. About
S4,OOO,0O0 will be necessary for the
fiscal year ending, June 80, 1921, while
from 5000 900 to 81 ,0OO, 900 will be re-
quired to make up the deficiency Of
the current fiscal year, ending June
80 next
The prohibition machinery, IL is es-
timated, takes more than x33O. 900
every month. or about s11, 900 a day.
This gives approximately 1000 addi-
tional employees in Washington and
in the field.
When the Volstead measure was
first up in Congress it authorized A
total of $500, 900 for enforcement.
but this was finally cut in conference
to x2.OOO,0O0. AS il did not become
effective until October 2S, this sum
was all available for the eight re-
naming months of the fical year. or
about $250.OOO a month.

Presence of a radical element from

When the radical element appeared

That the Virginians do not desire
the presence of the agitators has been
shown by the fact that they have re-
turned to work. In event the radicals
