INDUSTRY AND The MINIMUM WAGE
To the Editor Of The Evening Journal.
Dear Sir: The writer OF the Every
Evening editorial Of February sth as
sumes as a self-evldent truth 1--WE have
J more than enough commissions In this
State already. In too many instances
the commissions are apt TO be a nui-
sanee"
What is a commission? Why, II Is
an agency through which government
collects Information, or enforces laws
made by The duly elected representa-
tives Of the people. Does Every Even
ing mean that our Legislature at Dover
already knows all about everything
worth knowing, and that any attempt
70 collect facts on important questions
is superluOus IN view OF this mys-
terious omniscience2
Why not leave the matter 10 en-
plOyers and organized bodies Of en-
pioyesg" Simply because no such wO-
mems trade unions exist in poorly
psid industries In Delaware, and none
seem likely TO be organized at pres
ent.
As regards Investigations being a nui-
ouuNo- LiNtlg Que Nlldl uVttA cNll uut~
eth the light" Where there Is MOTH
ing to be ashamed OF, coLceslment Is
not such a vital matter. II is objected
that business concerns, suspected Of
breaking the law, would be subjected
to the annoyance Of having their books
and accounts examined by persons
charged with the laws enforcement.
What dreadful thing that would be-
Why It might possibly come about
that TO cheat a hundred women out OF
a dollar apiece every Saturday would
be as likely 20 dlscredit the guilty en-
ployer as II he were discovered cheat

Just think how annoying Il Is even
