$3.50 Per Week
Minimum Wage For Women,
Says Wage Conference.

Washington-The first wage con-
ference held under the new minimum
wage law for women in private EN-
ploy in the District of Columbia has
report minimum wage of SIS. 30
per week. This conference was or
ganized in March to consider the wag-
es of women employed IN private
printing and publishing houses, and
if its recommendation is accepted by
the Minimum Wage Board as is ex-
pected, every woman employed in such
establishments in the District of Co
lumbia must be paid not less than
$3.50 per week after the decision
goes into effect. At present, the
Board found, about rs per cent of the
women in this industry in the District
are paid less than $500 per week,
and nearly half Of them are paid from
$500 to $1,000 per week.
The wage conference as required
by law, was composed of three repre-
sentatives of the employees, Mrs. Net
tie Kirehner, Miss Nellie Sherry, and
Miss Essie Read, who, under the rules
of the Board, were nominated by the
women workers themselves by ballot;
three representatives of the employ
ers. namely. Charles + Crane. Frank
A. Hill and Lee Baumga1ten, nom
mated by ballot of the employers; and
three representatives of the public
chosen by the Board namely, Justice

CLERKS
Sign Two Year Agreement
With Retail Merchants.

The committee of the Retail Clerks
union and the committee representing
the retail merchants whose stores dis
play the union store card, met in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms Monday
night for the purpose of preparing a
working agreement to take the place
of the one under which the clerks have
been working the past three years
and which would expire on July lst
of this year.
The contract as agreed upon Mon
day night calls for the stores to close
al day New Years day, Decoration
day, Fourth of July, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving day and Christmas day,
The stores will open at a. m. and
close at 5:45 p. M, five ds Us in the
week and at p. m. on Saturday The
stores will close one day at noon each
week during the months of June, July
and August. This is to give the clerks
and merchants a half holiday In pre-
vious years the stores closed for the
half holidays but two months, July
and August This year the clerks
gain the four half days in June We'd
nesday is likely to be the day the
stores will close at noon.
Another gain the clerks make is
that the stores will be open but two
nights previous to Christmas eve.
Last year previous to Christmas, the
stores were open six nights. All
stores are to close at 5:45 Christmas
eve. The contract calls for two years
duration.

Unions $ Strength
Shown In Threatened Strikes
In England.

London, England, The recent
threatened strike of miners and rail-
way men has been averted, but the
crisis has driven home to the English
people the power of the workers when
they unite on the industrial field.
Reynolds Newspaper is rot a trade
union publication, but the editor faces
facts in discussing this question.
"The result of the negotiations
which have gone on for the last few
weeks" he says. "has made clear two
things. The first is the power of
really wsll-organized trade unions;
the second is the value of the strike
weapon. By the threat of strike
and in no other way, have the miners
and the railway men got justice.
Before the war we were content as
a people to see railway men working
for Is shillings a week, and even
highly skilled men in responsible po-
sitions being grossly underpaid. At
that time, too, the wages of the miners
were on the average only little over
80 shillings week.
"Will any sane-minded man assert
that if there had been some means by
which miners and railway men could
be prevented from striking they would
have got what they now got?
I'VE hope that, by Whitley councils
and other means, the danger of dis
locations of industry by strikes will
pass away But the workers can
never be sure that it viii wholly pass
as long as they have not in reserve
the power to withdraw Their labor as
final resort.
''In a community conscious of the
right of every working man to de-
cent wage there should never be any
need of strike, for the common sense
of the community would see that nc
injustice was meted out to any of its
members. The principle we have just
admitted in the case of railway mer
and miners must be extended to al
other workers. The guiding line must
be that until all have a chance Of 3
decent life, with well-nourished bodies
and well-nourished minds, nobody has
a claim to an excess of the genera
wealth produced by the community
This will seem a hard saying to those
who have hitherto looked Upon it a.
a right that they should be privileged
above their fellows; but more ant
more will it become the principle up
on which the state is guided in tn,
future. With labor government il
power it would certainly become tn
dominant principle of politics"

William Hitz of the District Supreme
Court, Mrs. Francis G. Axiell of the
U. S. Employees Compensation Com
mission, and Rev. Dr. John A Ryan,
professor political science at Catholic
University, In addition to these nine
persons, the labor member of the Min.
imum Wage Board, Miss Ethel NJ.
Smith, was a member of the confer
ence. in accordance with the provision
of the law requiring that one or more
members of the Board shall serve in
this capacity The other members of
the Board, Jesse c. ADKINS, repre-
senting the public, and Joseph A. Ber-
berich, representing the employers,
also took part in the conference meet
ings.
The recommendation of $15.5G
per week as the minimum wage upon
which a woman without dependents
can maintain herself at a proper stan
dard of living in the District of Co
lumbia was arrived at after four meet
ings of the conferees, and was un-
animous. The employer member OF
the Board, Joseph A Berberich, who
is president of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association of the Dis
trict, was also present and agreed to
the recommendation.
The items in cost of living allowed
for by the conferees under the min
imum wage rate of $3.50 per week
arc as follows.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1919-05-09

For learners or apprentices, the
conference recommended rates of
$500 for the first three months, 5000
for the second three months, $11.00
for the third three months, and $1,000
for the fourth three months, the full
wage of $3.50 per week to apply at
the end of one year.
Before the new minimum rates can
be put into effect public hearing
must be held, after thirty-day per-
iod of advertising, and then sixty
day period must elapse to permit the
employers to adjust their pay rolls.
This will bring the new rates into op-
Grafton probably some time in August
1919.
The minimum wage law cf the Dis
trict of Columbia is mandatory, and
the failure of any employer to paA
the prescribed minimum renders him
subject to fine CT Imprisonment.

SHOP EARLY! SHOP
EARLY! IS CRY OF
CITY STORE HEADS

Innumerable reasons can be ad'
vanced why people should shop early,
but no reason why they should neg
lect their shopping until the last day
or so before Christmas, say Richmond
retail merchants.
But % more shopping days remain
and for the sake Of the overworked
clerk. the tired delivery man. the floor
walker, the irritated merchant, the
Jealous traffic guardian and the
Christmas shoppers themselves, people
are urged to take advantage OF the re-
manning daysand wind up quickly the
Job Of buying the Christmas gifts.
H. c. Hasemeier, OF the Boston Store
says that early shopping saves the
shopper a great deal of inconvenience.
poor service, a larger stock to choose
from, and the trying ordeal OF being
jostled around by the ever-in-a-hurry-
last minute shoppers.
Experienced clerks are few this
Christmas as the prospect OF clerking
in dry goods store does not hold the
attraction to girls of today that It
used to hold and for this reason Rich
mond stores may be short handed at
the time when clerks are badly need
ed.
Last year the buying public Of Rich
mond needed the appeal of the govern
ment and In q measure, did their shop
ping early, but last year did not see
the amount of buying that local mer'
chants predict will be done this year
1t is thought that local stores will
only be kept open after supper dur
ing the days preceding Christmas In
stead of the customary week.

WAR TELEPHONE RATES WILL
CONTINUE; RULING

Telephone Company will continue in
effect in Indiana until the public ser.

on the petitions for an increase in

company. Some time ago petitions
were filed for all, asking permission
to increase the rates. Without such
a ruling as made by Commissioner
Haynes today the rates would have
gone back Dec. 1 to the pre- war
rates.
