Principles OF Economics,

THE wage. money is the meas
urement Of value expressed in price.
Services. inherent in value, is esti-
mated in wages. Value is defined as
that which possesses utility, and for
which the demand exceeds the sup
ply. The fundamental law Of value
Is the law OF diminishing utility. The
value of a thing is not its money
price, but its purchasing power, and
il is unquestionably business ability
to know when a situation (man, ma
chine or cOnditiOn) will not stand
further pressure.
Il is, therefore, evident that the
value OF an emplOye in terms Of
money or wage should be measured
In proportion to his service. All val
ues cannot be equal. II so, there
would be no need for the measure
meut Of the valUe-money or a wage.
There are better goods in industry,
better merchandise in trade, and bet
Ger service in employees, for which the
measurement OF value, money or the
wage, must necessarily differ, and
measure carefully upon the economic
principles OF value.
The process by which It is deter
mined 10 withhold certificates by the
board when sc is convinced that the
10 be employed is endeavOrinE TO
evade the order bv dismissing the
learner IS in no wise a panacea for
the evil. Each establishment denied
beginners certificates withdraws
just so much demand from the labor
market for minors, thus adding 20 the
surplus already existing. j. cannot
possibly prevent the hiring Of learn
ers who have wandered from one yO-
cation to another. nor the firing Of
learners as they approach the in
crease in wages, but can Unquestion-
ably increase this process ad infini-
tum.
As the minimum wage law OF the
District or Columbia IS not based
upon value rendered, or in the case
of employers, efficient service, there
being no standards OF value nor stand
ards OF efficiency, it, therefore. must
assume that minors Of equal age are
OF equal value, and that one years
apprenticeship in business is equiva-
lent 10 no more than one years addi-
tlonal training in school IN, as stated
above, the problem must be based
upon equal value or equal age. minors
should, therefore, be paid equal
wages, az equal ages
2-The effect of the present order
The Washington times., 1919-10-08

as promulgated by the Eoard, insofar
as it concerns minors, will unques-
tiouably be directly the opposite to
that which II was hoped the law
would effect It's effect upon the en-
ployo will be to throw out OF employ
ment the minor as he approaches the
minimum wage limit, as II cannot be
presupposcd under any circumstances
/ that the minor has the maturity OF
judgment that the adult has, as no
standards OF efficiency or value eN-
ist.
A short apprenticeship time pre-
sents to the minor a very great in
centive to leave school. It viii by
virtue OF its dismissals cause a labor
surplus or the inefficient class among
minors who could earn SO to Sl2
per week. but who could not possibly
give S16.JO worth Of value. II
would, therefore, almost prohibit the
minor capable Of earning less than
the wage established by law from
i securing employment except for
temporary apprenticeship periods In
different vOCations. which naturally
unstabilizes the youth for future use
fulness and adds to social disturb
ances and curtailment OF production.
Lessening Of production necessarily
adds fuel to the cost of living, which,
in turn destroys the usefulness Of the
higher wage and its purchasing pow
er or real wage as distinguished
from actual wage diminishes.
Problem.
3-The problem then seems to be
to minimize, insofar as possible, the
dismissals Of the employees as they
approach the minimum wage, and to
remove the incentive for leaving
school, except when necessary, to
provide a long enough apprenticeship
for those compelled to leave school
so that value can be determined.
For the employer, the problem
seems to be TO diminish the labor
turnover and to increase the value
OF the emplOye, thus causing in
creased production.
The problem for the public at large
Is TO minimize as far as possible the
social and economical disturbance
cause by the labor surplus Of the in
efficient class unable to secure work
at the wage prescribed, and the re-
suit OF lessening production and in
creased demand upon the cost OF liv-
inG.
Suggestions.
1T seems that the minimum wage
law OF the District of Columbia Is
based upon the cost Of living, a very
uncertain factor. II such is the case,
the law would necessarily have to be
as flexible as the cost OF living, but
as illustrated above, money or the
wage is not the measurement Of the
cost OF living, but OF value
Upon the theory that minors Of
equal age are Of equal value, which
seems TO be the only workable basis,
the attached graded estimate OF sal
ary increases is planned, to give the
most effectiveness to an uneconomical
principle along the lines Of fair play
to the employer, employe and the pub
lie.
It attempts to combine the best
known methods OF removing the in
centive for the minor to leave school
and decreasing the turnover for en-
ployers, but in case OF the necessity
Of the minor for labor. it grants a
longer period OF apprenticeship to
demonstrate his value to the en-
ployer, and therefore, retain his posi-
ton, and the advanced wage will
ingly met.
It is designed with the hope that
il will protect the young wage earn
ers insofar as humanity possible from

HERE'S MINIMUM WAGE
PLAN AS OUTLINED By
N. AND N. ASSOCIATION

The plan outlined in the brief OF
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association before the Minimum
Wage Board this morning was as fol-
lows:
''The Merchants and Manufacturers
/ Association assures the Minimum
/ Wage Board Of the District Of CoIum-
/ bia at the outset that its appeal at
\ this time is based solely on the rul-
! ing with respect to minors and not on
I the minimum wage itself.
However much we might feel that
the ruling with respect to adults ap-
proaches a maximum rather than re-
alizing a minimum, we. feel that
your ruling with respect to minors
viii be so subversive OF public well
fare in general that we most urgently
ask that you reconsider your ruling
with respect to minors to the end that
schedule OF minimum pay for mi
nors shall be established as set forth
hereafter.
9MOFalIy Wrong"
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, as your board is already
aware, believed in the principle Of
wOrthwhileness Of a minimum wage.
but we most sincerely and hOnorably
submit that to accord the same pay to
children that you do to adults would
not-Only tend to disOrganize the rela-
ton Of human beings one to the other,
but would be morally wrong in prin-
ciple to by law give the juvenile the
same monetary consideration that you
would accord the adult Experience
from time immemorial has proven
that the wage which you have accord
ed the Juvenile who serves a year is
far in excess OF the maximum that is
paid or has been paid TO juveniles in
the past.
"And we see no reason why, in the
present order OF things, that the
minor who has served a year should
be accorded the same monetary con-
.sideration as the adult who has
served seven months, namely, $3.50
per week.
Devoted COnsideFabIe Time.
''The special committees appointed
by the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association to work with the Mini

Will America help these smaller
countries abroad? Are the peoples

cumbent upon them in case this
country assumes mandatory control
over any section?
These are the questions that are
uppermost in the minds of the
weaker nations of Europe who, now
at least, are looking to America.
They are questions that sooner or
later must be answered positively by
the United States within the coming

minds Of Americas peace emissaries
