TO PROTEST S16.5O
WAGE FOR MINORS

A conference between the District
Minimum Wage Board and represen-
tatives of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association will be held this
week, and Secretary Charles J. Colum-
bus, Of the association, will make a
formal protest against the enforcing
Of the boards order providing a min
lmum wage OF $16.5O, after a years
work for minors in the employ of
mercantile establishments.
Chairman Jesse Adkins, of the
board, has received a preliminary pro-
test from Secretary Columbus. The
order of the board provides that after
a years experience minors shall re-
ceive the same pay as adults. The
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation holds this order regarding
minors to be impractical and unfair.
The order was issued. following
public hearing at which no protests
were recorded, and is effective No
vember 1.
This order places bundle wrappers,
messengers, wagon jumpers. and sim
liar employees on the same plane with
saIosmen and clerks.
The application OF the rule on
minors was unfortunate" Secretary
Columbus says. and l feel sure that
the board unintentially erred in CIV
ing a child the same salary as an
adult"
Secretary Columbus is issuing
special bulletin to members OF the
association with respect to the min
imum wage and other matters that
are ahectlng business at this time.

TEACHERS OPPOSE
SUPERVISORS

Providing for the elimination OF su-
perfuous supervisors, regrouping Of
school buildings, and changes in

struction OF the public school system
will be presented TO the Board OF
Education for consideration in the

pairing estimates and recOmmenda-
tions TO be submitted to Congress for

found grade school teachers work un-
der seven and more supervisors. They
claim that this necessarily prevents
100 per cent efficiency in the work OF
the teachers.
The board will be told of existing
grievances OF grade school teachers
and asked to make adjustments.
