UP, almost entirely, of sons and
daughters Of Sir Pietertje Ormsby
Mercedes 14th, recognized as one of
the greatest transmitting show sires

CHARGED WITH THE WO-
LATION OF WAGE LAW
Trial of the Case Was Had In
Judge Goff's Court Late
Yesterday

George W. Allyn, Madison Lake
merchant, was arraigned in the mu-
nicipal court yesterday afternoon
before Judge Hiram S. Golf on the
complaint of the Minimum Wage
Commission of the Minnesota, which
charged that Mr.. Allyn kept in his
employ as a clerk one Miss Beatrice
Oney on weekly wage of IS per
week for several months and then on
a weekly wage of Sc, in violation of
the Minnesota. minimum wage law
which requires that the minimum
wage for learner for the first three
months of service shall be not less
than $6.48 per week of forty eight
hours, the second three months SIZES
cents per week, and the third three
week. After the first nine months
service the emjloye shall be con-
sidered full fedged and shall not re-
ceiye a weekly wage under $10.25.
What Allyn Claimed.
Mr.. Allyn claimed that Miss Oney
was merely given an opportunity to
work at his store for the purpose of
learning the profession of clerking.
and that after the minimum wage
law effective on July 8, 1919 he was
not aware of its enforcement for
some time afterwards. AS soon he
learned of the provision of the law
in October Of last year, he told Miss
Oney that he could not afford to pay
her the minimum wage and told her
that he could not longer employ her.
Following this, Mr.. Allpn was ar
rested by order of the Minnesota
Minimum Wage Commission.
Among the witnesses sworn by the
state was Miss Eliza Evans, secre-
tary of the state minimum wage
commission. Several witnesses tes-
titled in behalf of the defense, stat
Ing that Miss Oney had absented
herself from her work on several
occasions. This Miss Oney denied.
Thomas McDermott of st. Paul
and c. ]. Laurisch of this city ap-.
peared as attorneys for the defense,
and County Attorney C. E. Phillips
on behalf Of the state. The case
went to the jury about five O'Clock
last evening and after being out but
short time brought in verdict Of
guilty. Mr.. Allyn will come up for
sentence later on
