MINIMUM WAGE IDEA

Charles Topkis. a member Of the leg
islative committee Of the Consumers
League Of Delaware, has issued a state
ment upon the minimum wage bill,
now before the Delaware Legislature.
Endorsement Of the minimum wage,
by Mr.. Topkis. is Of special significance
because he is the flrst considerable en-
ployer Of women's labor to express
himself publicly in regard to the bill
The statement by Mr.. Topkis is as fol-
lows:
Il am In favor Of the minimum wage
principle because as a business man.
recognize that without II there is an
absence OF standards which are essen
tial 10 the efficient conduct Of modern
business.
Representative employers in in
creased number wish to be disassociat-
ed from the unscrupulous competition
which depresses wages below the sub
sistence level in lines OF work con-
nected with any industry whatsoever.
The fixing Of a minimum wage destroys
the advantage which such a selfish and
non-social pelicy has over the efforts
Of respectable employers.
'The Associated Marchants and Manu-
fscturers OF New York State, have de-
clared themselves in favor OF a State
Minimum Wage Commission. L think
that employers associations in DE-
ware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey ami
Connecticut, which are asking for a
minimum wage bill this year cannot do
better than get together in support Of
the principles Of the commission plan
OF equal representation for employers.
