PAY TO women
Board to Suggest Minimum for
Elevator Operators, Maids,
and Cleaners.

The District Minimum Wage Board.
following completion OF a wage survey
Of women elevator operators, maids
and cleaners in office buildings. banks,
theaters. and similar institutions. to-
day announced a conference would be
called to recommend minimum
wage for these women.
The survey was made by agents or
the board during April and May. last.
The results, as announced by the
board, follow:
TT was found that of the 35I wom-
en- for whom wage data was obtained
one third received less than 81 per
week. one half less than so per week.
and nine tenths less than $12 per
week.
Most Of these women worked less
than fun time. This was particular
ly true of the office building cleaners
who made up 73 per cent Of the wom-
en- included In this study. or these
cleaners 81 per cent worked less than
twenty four hours per week and 90
per cent less than thirty-siN hours per
week, and only IL per cent forty-two
hours or over.
obviously the short work day ac-
counts in a measure for the low wages
paid but not to any appreciable ex-
tent. The hourly rates OF pay are also
low. Twenty-Five per cent Of the
cleaners received less than 25 cents
an hour, some being paid as little as
II cents. and 20 per cent less than 80
cents per hour.
Even If these women could obtain
employment elsewhere at similar
rates to make up their full working
day they would still be earning less
than a living wage, as established by
previous conferences. Furthermore
the work must be done at hours
other people are through working.
Almost half the women for whom
data was obtained began work at IL
y. III. Others began in the early morn
ing from 8 to $50 o'clock and still
others in the late afternoon and early
evening. The rates of pay should in
some measure compensate for the I'M
desirability of the hours Of work.
THE elevator operators and maids
worked the full eight-eour day. or
the elevator operators approximately
half received less than 81. week
and three-fourths less than SIS a
week Two-thirds OF the maids re-
ceived less than so Il week. Snd an
less than S12 a week.
Gar cleaners employed by the
transportation companies were in
cluded in this study, but it was found
that only two of the si7 received less
than SIS a week The majority were
rated at S21 GO n week. Therefore
these women were not included in
he order for a conference"
This is the NTH conference called
by the Minimum Wage Board. Wage
rates are now in effect in the printing
and publishing, mercantile and hotel
and restaurant Industries covering
approximately 90 per GENT of the
women coming within the Jurisdiction
OF the Minimum Wage Board. The
laundry conference will reconvene
during the nrst week in October.
Women elevator operators, etc, will
meet at 3 p. IN. September 80 in the
board room of the District building to
select members of the conference.

BOTH AGREE HERE
Chairman Hays made no SPECIFIC
menton of Nebraska, but since he
claimed "the whole of the United
States" would go Republican, with
the possible exception Of ten southern
States" he obviously concurred in the
Democratic chiefs judgment.
Chairman White said the Demo-
Gratis very likely would carry New
Hampshire.
That state is included in Chairman
Hays positively Republican" list.
There is a chance of winning Mas

Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
