MINIMUM WAGE MAY
SOON BE INCREASED

In all probability a decision made
in the Superior Court of Spokane
County last week by Judge D. w.
Hurn will make it possible for Or
ganized labor to get immediate &C
| ton on a demand it has frequently
voiced in recent months that the
minimum wage of 1920 for wom-
en- workers established last fall by
the State Welfare Board be increas-
ed at once to meet the marked in
crease in the cost of living that has
taken place since the $500 wage
was fixed.
Ruling on points raised in a suit
brought against a Spokane hotel
proprietor, Judge Hurn decided that
the State Welfare Board had ex-
ceeded its powers in establishing a
six-day week for women workers
under the agreement reached by
the war emergency conference of
employers and employees establish
ing the 1920 minimum. The War
Emergency Conference was held last
August and the 1920 wage scale
went into effect last November.
Since last August the cost of liv-
ing has scared and there has been
universal dissatisfaction with the
60 on ,,,ir;,,,Iro JTpdor tho tarr1c
of the minimum wage law, however,
the calling of another conference of
employers and employees to revise
the minimum upward was impos-
sible before a year should have
elapsed. 1t seems now, however,
that Judge Hurn's decision has
probably nullified the entire Aug
ust agreement and that the calling
of another conference to revise the
minimum has been made possible.
State Labor Commissioner c. H.
Younger says a conference will be
had with the Attorney-General as
to the possibilities of successfully
appealing the Spokane decision and
that any grounds for appeal will be
nullified. His present expectation
is, however, that the proceedings OF
the War Emergency Conference of
last August will be nullified by the !
Supreme Court under an interpreta-
ton of the minimum wage statute, |
and that a new wage conference of |
all industries will have to be called !
which will readjust womens wages
to advancing living costs.
Younger was notified by Presi-
dent William M. Short, of the State
Federation of Labor, that the Fed
Grafton at its annual convention in !
Bellingham, had gone on record as
demanding an immediate increase
in the womens minimum wage, and
that if a new wage conference were
called the Federation would wish to
be represented. Younger gave the
assurance that the Federation
would receive due notice of any
wage meeting called.
With matters in this status the
State Federation's Executive Coun-
ell will at once begin an energetic
campaign to gather data to support
a demand for an increase in the
minimum wage to proper figure.
Central Labor Councils and Unions
of women in all cities and towns
will be asked to take the matter up
and assist the Executive Council in
the campaign. u

MAY BE FORCED TO
Do SOMETHING TO
THE PROFITEERS

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The de
mand that Congress act to reduce
| the cost of living was made by pro-
gressive Republican Senators today
in statements to the United Press.
This situation is becoming so bad
that the party in power must take
some definite action before the next
election or accept The consequences, "
Senator Capper, of Kansas, warned.
Senator Kenyon and others record
this opinion.
Congress moved to strike at the
high cost of living today when a
committee of the Senate started in
search of profiteers in Washington.
Conditions have become so acute
here, according to some senator's, the
Government employees are quitting
and threatening TO impair the eff
cheney of departments.
Senators hope to throw light on
the cause of the high price wave
throughout the country. Food.
clothing and rents will be studied.
Wholesale dealers, retailers and con
sumers will be heard.
This is of more importance right
now than the League of Nations"
Capper said. 1T is causing revolu-
ton in Europe, and over here people
are getting more and more dissatis-
fled" ''''
1T is the biggest battle facing
congress today" Kenyon said 1T
is tight that cuts across party lines.
1t divides those in Congress who are
trying to solve the high cost of liv-
ing problem from those who seek to
protect the special interests"
Just so! Congressman are howl
ing their heads off about Bolshev-
ism, charging its growth to foreign
agitators and what not, while every
mothers son of them knows that it
is profiteering in food, clothing.
etc, in fact, all the absolute neces-
stiles of life, which causes the
growth of Bolshevism, If there be
any such growth.
Profiteering spectators are
squeezing every cent the people can
earn out of them-this is what
causes the unrest complained Of
Congressman all know this. but
If there is anything going that Con-
gress does not know, it is that the
people know it also. But Congress-
men will find out this one thing
that the people are tired of its
camouflaging habits and there will
be whole lot of them out of job.
