DIR. Ryan's Testimony.

DR. Ryan, discussing the theory of
the minimum wage. declared that the
minimum wage was both applicable
and expedient. He said that a man or
woman was just as much entitled to
the right to make a decent living.
from the moral point of view. as he
or she was to protection against bur-
glary. From the point of view of ex-
pediency, he said, it did not pay So
ciety to allow the workers to fall be-
low a certain standard of living. In
order that the workers should be
physically and mentally efficient, he
said. it was necessary they should be
paid enough to live decently and to
maintain their health.
Senator Jones repeatedly ques-
toned the witnesses rs TO whether
there should be any differentiation in
the minimum wage made to the head
of a family and to the single men
or women. The reply was that it
would be unwise to differentiate,
since here an injustice might be done
a man with a family or the single
man. It was pointed out that a sin
gle man or woman is potentially
married man or woman and for that
reason should be allowed to make
a sufTicient amount to prepare for
married life.

Applause Unchecked.

As points were made in favor Of the
minimum wage principle and for better
wages for the government employees. the
auditors broke into applause, which was
unchecked by the committee, consisting
of Senator Jones Of New Mexico. chair
man, and Senator'S Hollis and Borah.
In discussing the subject of wages In
private employ as compared to those
paid by the government, Mr.. Cannon
said that he has recently been engaged

was far, below the wage- offered for
similar work by private concerns. The
government, he said, was about $3.50
a year. They could get $1,000 a year
for the same work in private en-
poy. Watchmen and firemen, he, said.
received $3.50 from the government
and could get from $3.50 to $1,000 from
private. employers.
States Amount of Salary Needed.
Mr. Ogburn in telling the commit
tee how he had arrived at the con-
clusion that $500 was the lowest an
nual budget upon which a family of
five could live in common decency
and comfort said that he had made
the study in company with other sta
tistical experts last year and had ar
rived at the conclusion that it would
take between $3.50 and $1,400 at that
time-to be exact, sf.3S6. He said
that in making this study the records
of 500 families whose heads were en-
gagged in the shipbuilding industry
had been taken into consideration.
He pointed to the investigation
made in the District of Columbia.
which showed that the, family which
received only sl.150 year on the
average was in debt in 1916. He said
that the cost of the necessities of life
since that time has increased approx
imately 80 per cent.
Senator Hollis wanted to know
what happened to the families whose
incomes do not amount to s1.5o0. sug-
gesting that there must be many
such families.
II would not say there were SO very
many" replied Mr.. Ogburn. "at least
not in New York.
We'll, we know there are many in
the District of Columbia" said Sena-
tor Hollis.
Mr. Ogburn replied that where the
incomes were lower the families did
not have so many children. Where
there were families of five he said
they ran into debt or denied themselves
food and necessary recreation He
said recreation was considered neces-
saIy, and to prove his point cited cases
where families had denied themselves
food in order to use the money for
pleasure purposes.
