At a meeting Of the representatives
of all the Jewish organizations of this
city, which took place at the Y. NJ.
II. A. home last night, 1t was decided
to arrange for a mass meeting TO be
held at the Liberty Theatre on sun
day, May nth, for the purpose OF
protesting against the atrocities and
general treatment of the Jews in the
territory now controlled by the Poles.
The reports, which reach this u
try, of the treatment of h Jews in
the newly formed Polish State. are
as bad, IL not worse. than that which
used to occur in the reign of the
Gar. Premier Paderiski sent a mes
sage from Paris to the Polish people
to refrain from the massacres of the
Jews.
The movement of the protest is ma
tionally wide, owing to its serious
ness. 1t is said, that unless the mas
sacres and pogroms ceases, the en-,
tire Jewry of Poland will be wiped
out.
The committee in charge of the
meeting consisted of Louis Bralnes'
Philip Levine. Harry Medinets, Leon
Gutman and II. X. Golenbock.

PLEA
BRINGS PROTEST
Efforts to Have Minimum
Rate for Minors Reduced
Meets Setback.

Spokesmen for more than 5000
members Of the organized public of
Washlp pgton-government ofiicials, So
cial workers. educators and citizens
with various other interests-turned
out In numbers yesterday to oppose
the protest OF the Merchants and
Manufacturer Association against
the order Of the minimum wage
Board Of the District Of Columbia af.
fsctfng minors in the mercantile in.
dustry. The boards order fixes the
same minimum wage for minors ns
for women Is years Of age or over,
namely Sls.5o per week. The merchants
ask that the rates for minors he re-
duced and that the order be not pu,
into effect until after the Christmas
holidays.
To yield to the merchants protest,
according to DR.. W. Carson Ryan,
OF the Bureau OF Education, pres.
ident Of Federal Employee Union No
:. and reduce the minors wage be
low the minimum for women would
work out into the practical result
OF raid upon the schools fer a cheau
labor supply. in preference to paying
the minimum OF slS6o fixed by the
board for women. The incentive 70
the employer to seek the younger
workers if they were cheaper would
far outbalance In its I'll effect, he
declared, the stimulus TO the children
themselves to seek the Jobs at higher
pay. 1t was also pointed out by DR..
Ryan that the merchants are now
paying the same wage to minors as
to adults doing the same Kind OF
work, which indicated that the yaIu-
alton OF the services OF the minors
was not at present fixed on the basis
OF age.
Miss Mary Anderson, director OF
the Woman's Bureau OF the United
States Department OF Labor and
chairman OF the Washington conn
mittee Of the National Woman's
Trade Union League. also urged the
board to stand by its order in the
interests both Of the women work
ers and the children. and this argu.
ment was reiterated by Miss Ina
Courtney. one OF the representatives
of the Washington saleswomen who
served on the wage conference which
recommended the minimum OF SIG 81
