Long Discussions in Conference

THE conference reported this
finding after ten sessions of deter
mined effort and tense conflict be-
tween the opposing interests Of the
workers and the employers. The
conferees for the women of the
stores, including three saleswOmen
nominated by ballot of their fellow
workers, together with the labor
member of the Minimum Wage
Board, stood out for SIS per week
as the minimum cost of living for
woman in the District Of Column
bia, and consequently the minimum
wage. They were supported in this
stand by one of the conferees for
the public. Mrs. Newton d. Baker,
wife of the Secretary of War. Two
conferees for the public, namely.
Mr.. Jesse c. Adkins, the Chairman
of the Board, and Mr.. Clarence r.
Wilson, formerly Food Administrat-
or for the District, voted for Sl7
per week. The other conferee for
the public, Judge Kathryn Sellers,
Of the Juvenile Court, voted for
$1,000. The employers at the out
set offered $3.50, and then came
up to SIG as their top figure.
Thus, with five votes for SIS.
two for ST., one for $3.50, and
four for SIG, it developed that
$3.50 was the only figure upon
which unanimous agreement could
be reached. The concession was
made by the workers upon the the
DRY that unanimity in the confer
ence would be a vital factor in the
enforcement of the law
This is the second wage fixed
by the Minimum Wage Board of the
District of Columbia, which was
.created by Congress last September.
The other wage was $3.50 per
week for women in the printing
trades. The next highest to this in
the United States is $3.50. fixed
by the MINIMUM Wage Board Of
California.
1T is not only in these figures
of $3.50 and $3.50. however, that
the Minimum Wage Board of the
District of Columbia has set a new
standard. The law under which it
operators provides that the perma-

the employers and of the workers.
The organized employers were asked
to nominate six of their number,
from which the Board would select
three. The workers were called to-

action.

Mr.. GOMPERS AND THE
SENATE COMMITTEE

Chairman of the United States Steel
Corporation, had dealt in flip
pant and autocratic fashion" with
labor representatives, Samuel Com
pers, President of the American
Federation of Labor, in summing up
before the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee organized labor
opposition to the anti-strike section
of the Cummins railroad bill, in
Washington Wednesday of last
week, said the steel strike was an
example of the necessity for the use
of the strike by labor unions.
Appearance of Mr.. Gompers be-
fore the Senate Committee came at
the end of the second day of con-
tinued attack by labor leaders
against the provision of the Cum
Minis bill, which would make strik-
ing railroad men conspirators
against commerce and liable to fine
and Imprisonment The labor chief
summarized the arguments pre-
scented by j. p. Mcnamara Vice
President of the Firemen's and En-
gineers' Brotherhoods; j. e. Heber-
ling, President of the Switchmen's
Union; w. N. Doak, ce-President
of the Trainmen's Brotherhood;
Andrew Furuseth, of the Seamen s
Union, and other witnesses, and
discussing the steel strike, de-
clared:
when employers say there is
nothing to talk over, when they
refuse to meet representatives of
labor, when they say these repre-
sentatives represent nobody, how
else is there to convince them but
by a strike? Look at the steel
strike now. That was the position
of Mr.. Gary. A letter to him from
me sent last June is still unan-
swered.
A committee to see him was
greeted with the word that he had
nothing to discuss with them He
treated us in a flippaht and auto
! cratic fashion. The strike is now
on, much to my regret, because |
wanted to see it delayed until after
the Presidents industrial confer
enCe
But if you knew conditions in
districts the United States Steel Cor
poration controls, you would under
stand. Murder, assault, arrest of
men, prohibition of meetings on
rented grounds, workers dispersed
by thugs, gangsters and detective
crooks employed by the companies,
a woman murdered in cold blood,
and the detective who did 1t re-
leased on bond OF $4,000, while
men arrested In the meetings are
held In $4,000 bail"
where's that?" committee
member interrupted him.
AT MeKeesport. Pennsylvania, ;"
Mr.. Gompers rejoined. That's the
sort of things we have to meet in
building labor organizations. We've
done and VIII continue to do our
level best, men in the labor move
ment will try to keep things going,
but If you take from us our last eff
fectiye form Of appeal for neces-
sary things as this bill Does what
ever comes is on your head and not
on ours"
Dealing with the subject of gen
eral unrest, Mr., Gompers asserted
that labor organizations were ex-
periencing difficulty in holding
radicals in check,
1.-THE disposition is so great now"
he added, that democracy is sneer-
ed at by certain groups, who say
that IL IA only a pretext which the
employing classes hold up to cheat
workers, and that workers can only
secure justice by revolution. Moth

Raising the Pay of Women Workers

The highest minimum wage for
women thus far achieved through
legislation has just been announced
by the Minimum Wage Board of the
District of Columbia, at the close of
a conference for the mercantile in
dustry. Under this finding, which
will go into effect about November
I, it will be illegal for any mer-
chant in the District of Columbia TO
pay less than $3.50 per week to
any woman in his employ who has
had seven months experience. He
may not employ a beginner at less
than $3.50 per week, and after
three months he must pay at least
$14.50 until the end of the learn
ing period Of seven months. This
applies to all the women workers in
the establishment-no only sales
women, but office workers, tele-
phone operators, elevator operators,
milliners. tailoresses. mattresses,
and all others. And it applies to all
kinds of retail establishments,
whatever the size or whatever the
stock they carry.
at present. of the 1000 women
employed in the stores of the ma
tional capital, one-teuth receive IS
per week and less. More than one
half receive $12 and less. Three
fourths receive SIG and less The
Wage Boards order, therefore, will
mean an increase ranging from
$3.50 to $3.50 or more for nearly
5000 of these women.

The community center is almost
discovery of today in America, but
the idea, according to a recent ar
ticle on Western railroad history.
was introduced practically some
twenty-one years ago, to provide for
the normal social content of railroad
workers in an almost unsettled coun-
try. One of the largest Western rail
road companies established system
of reading rooms and clubhouses for
its men at all the important division
headquarters and terminals, and as
more people have come into the
country, these places have come TO be
used also by the families of the men
and are now, to quite an extent, com
munity centers in the present use of
the term. Other reading rooms
have been established in towns along
the line. and their effect for the bet
terment Of local living was already
proving the value of the community
center before the country in general
had ever heard Of it.-Christian
