MINIMUM WAGE LAW
BOOSTED BY SIGN

People going home from market and
business folks speeding away TO lunch
con, this noon, were brought 10 a sud-
den halt In front Of the Public Library
Building by a remarkable red-white-
and-blueness which they sensed in the
atmosphere. The crowd increased each
minute, until there were so many mass
ed humans investigating the source Of
this sudden blaze Of national oolors that
Market street became a mo thorough
fare" for pedestrians. The blockade
grew more dense, until the traflo cop
had serious thoughts OF calling for as
sistance from the bright blue thrift
stamp cop on the DUPONT Building side
walk.
The source Of attraction was a bis
loanvas sign, which the Consumers
League Of Delaware had installed this
noon, on the coping over the entrance
TO the Public Library Building.
On the sign Is painted a great map Of.
the United States, the individual States
being a solid red, or white, or blue.
The map measures sixteen feet by eigh-
teen feet. Lettering which can be read
across the street explains that the
twelve red States have minimum wage
laws, the District OF Columbia IS also
red. The seven blue States are now
working TO secure the passage Of a
minimum wage law. Delaware is blue,
also New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Connecticut, Illinois, and Mon
tsna The remaining States which
have no minimum wage law and are
not trying for one, are painted white.
The sign has attracted much atten-
tion. and will continue 10 do so. as II
gradually changes, the blue States be-
coming red, and the white, blue. and
then red.
The Consumers League viii work for
universal redness, meaning that work
ers cannot be paid under a certain
minimum, just amount on which they
can maintain an American standard Of
living.
