A Mother clasps Her Child.

HHOSE same fundamentals of
craftsmanship applied to the
selling of all lines of feminine
decentralization silk hose to
Georgette crepe dresses--were used
last week by three young Washing
ton saleswomen in achieving the
highest minimum wage ever to be
fixed by law for women. This trio
has sold" the idea of fixing the
minimum wage for local saleswomen
at $3.50 week after November l
of this year to representatives of the
public, of the employers and of the
District of Columbia Minimum Wage
Board. The girls, Miss Mae Dobkin,
Miss Mary Sullivan and Miss Ida
Courtney, were the elected delegates
Of the 1000 women employed to
serve the department and speciality
store customers at the nations
capital.
The immediate effect of the mini
mum wage for the girls in the mer-
camille industry is expected to be
twofold, namely:
% This legal collective bargain
ing will do away with the individual
contract between the store employer
and the girl seeking the job. Such
individual contracts have made pos
sible secret pacts about salaries.
Girls will no longer have to promise
not to tell their fellows what they
earn.
CD Organization for the protec-
ton of the women in the mercantile
industry will be stimulated vastly as
the girls will now get together to
safeguard their interests by keeping
the ratio of learners and appren-
tees in fair proportion to the
working personnel.
Learners and apprentices of three
months experience are to have
$14.50 week, while those with
less than three months experience
viii receive $3.50 a week. No
woman worker in the mercantile
industry can be legally employed
for less than $3.50 = week for
longer than seven months at the

Shop Girls Must
Wear Good Clothes

The budget brought in by the girls
originally fixed the minimum wage
at $1965 a week. This was cut down
to S1S and Mrs. Baker and Miss
Smith became the stanch friends
Of the girls for this scale. But a
majority of the board still held out
against the wage until it went down
to SIT week. Opposed to this rate
were the three employers and one
member of the public's delegation.
Developments showed that with
still further concessions from the
saleswomen and their friends, the
employers could be won over and
the recommendation would be unani-
nous. SO upon motion OF one Of the
employers, the wage was made
$3.50 a week. The employers had
started with the $3.50 minimum
allowed the girls in the printing in
dustry short time ago by the Wage
Board. The girls fought FOR higher

Pending the conference delibera-
tons, the employers distributed a
QUESTIONABLE among their women
employees receiving SIS and less, to
ascertain what girls here spent for
their livelihood. The higher sal
aried employees were left out of the
accounting. The questionnaires dis
closed that more than per cent of
the salesgirls earning less than SIC
week do additional work at night
IN other occupations to bridge the
gap between their expenses and
their wages.
