TO EARN MINIMUM WAGE

Superior Court judge Hurn of
Spokane has ruled that women must
work seven days week if employers
pay them the $500 weekly wage
fixed as minimum for the state of
Washington.
The court says: 1T Is practically
the universal holding of the courts,
in the absence Of statute. that a; week
means a. period Of seven consecutive
days." He dismissed a hotelkeeper
who was fined for working a cham
bernlaid seven days in one week.
Last year at conference between
employers, employed and state off,
Gals it was agreed that the weekly
minimum wage for women should be
$500.
Later the state industrial commits
sion made the following ruling:
This order shall be interpreted to
mean an eight-hour day and a. six
day week of 48 hours service weekly,
or at tthe rate of ~ Il cents per hour -

Editor Coates of the Spokane: Labor

1T all sums up again what the edi-

STANDING ARMY
COSTS STACCER
General March Declares Il Will
Take $900,000,000 to Keep
$4,000 Men.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Members
Of the senate military affairs COM
tee were staggered when General
March, the war departments chief of
staff, told them that the estimated
cost Of maintaining a standing army
Of $4,000 men, with the compulsory
training system. an adjunct, would
be $900,000,000 a year. He said the
army would cost $79S,600,000 and the
remainder would be used for compul-
sorry training expenses, which would
total $1,597 per man.
The witness stated that a special
board of officers had recommended
that military training for nine months
be made compulsory, but the general
staff had reduced this to seven months.
Later this was cut to three months,
over his objection.
The testimony of the witness would
indicate that the three COM
pulsory military training, which is
now called for in the war depart
ment's bill is not satisfactory to army
officials, who will endeavor to in
crease the training period If the prin-
ciple Of compulsion in peace times is
accepted by the people.

WHOLESALE GROCERS IN
FIGHT AGAINST PACKERS

The National Grocers' association
has Joined those who think packing
trust domination harmful to the rest
Of US. In their own interests the gro
GERS urge that the packers be kept
from using refrigerator cars for trans
porting other, than meat products.
The long list Of products besides
meat, something over 700 as reported
by government authorities, which the
packers are monopolizing because
they monopolize the best means Of
transportation, alarms the wholesale
and retail trade. And we'll it may,
for the fear Of the great monopolies
is the beginning Of wisdom for small
business as we'll as for the farmers
and workers. Perhaps this new-found
fear among small business will lead
to much better understanding of the
organized farmers.
A significant paragraph Of the
grocers' protest reads:
1.-The maintenance of these unjust
and discriminatory provisions in the
tariffs of the defendant carriers has
enabled the packers to extend their
powerful Influence outside Of the sale
Of the products of slaughtered ami
! mails. That if these provisions be per-
mitted to continue in effect the pack
ers will gradually acquire a dominat-

Twenty-Three Million VIII
Be Spent On State Roads

In the. coming three years = 1919,
1920 and 1921-7there will be available
the sum of $23,000,000 for road work
in Oregon. If this money was devot-
ed to hard surfacing it would build
1900 miles.
These statistics were presented last
night at the meeting of the senate
roads and highways committee by
Chairman Dennis of the house COM
mittee, when the automobile license
bill was under consideration. The SEN
ate committee completely upset the
license schedule which the house adopt
ed Monday after an all day session
and lacked up the license all along
the line.
A. vigorous protest is expected from
the house when the scale adopted by
the senate committee IS discovered,
and it is possible that the house may
refuse to concur in the amendments.
Income From Licenses
Reverting to the statement of Mr.
Dennis, he says that there is expended
from the $6,OO0,000 bond bill, $780,
600. The 1919 bond bill is for $4,000,
900. The Bean Barrett bill will make
available $i,sl9,00 and there is gov
ernment money available for the three
year period amounting to $6,l19,0o0.
Added to this is the estimated reve-
nue. of 100000 from the gasoline tax
and $500,O00 from the quarter mill tax
Tho 1919 license win yield 100000 and
the scale of licenses for 1920 and 1921
which Mr.. Dennis asked will produce
81, 900, 900; expenses. such as overhead
collections and interest for two years,
viii run up to $2,400,0 ,000.
Cost VIII be Heavy
The full significance of the resonre-
es available for road building can be
Eapproximated when it is understood
that 1t costs about $4,000 mile to
