who is at all suited for the work should
lie able to earn enough to support her
self
The Wisconsin minimum wage law is
reasonable and its requirements are
much less stringent than those of the
laws OF other states. Every person
who employs any woman or minor
should become thoroughly familiar
with this law and should not fail tC
observe it's provisions. The penalty
for violation is forfeiture of from
$40 to 500 for each day that any
woman or minor is employed at less
than the legal rate. Ignorance of law
is no excuse and employers should
realize that once they allow an en-
ploye to have something on them they
place themselves at her mercy.

THE MINIMUM WAGE LAW

Minimum wage laws are now in OPP
Grafton i'm IA states and in the District
of Columbia and i'll practically ali
foreign countries. The idea behind
these laws is that "a laborer is worthy
of his hire" Every woman who puts
IN an honest day of work should be
paid enough to support herseH III
reasonable decency and comfort, at
least after the learning period.
This has been requirement OF law
in this state since 1913. Not until l9l9,
however was a determination made OF
what is the living wage.
This law applies to all employers OF
women and minors, in every Occupa-
tion, The minimum rate which may
be paid to every adult woman, or 10
every minor over II years OF age Is 10
cents per hour during the nrst three
months of employment in trace or III
dustry, 20 cents per hour during the
second three months, and - cents per
hour after six months. In seasonal
industries which operate for only a 1e"
months during the year no learning
neriod is recognized and all women
and minor employees must be pald al
least % cents per hour. Minors between
"a and II must be paid at least 10
.ents per hour. which rate must be IN
croased TO 20 cents per hour when the
minor is past 16 and has completed
three months in the industry. where
hoard or lodging is furnished by the
amnloyer. he may claim credit
therefor of $3.50 per week for board
and 200 per week for lodging.
Special orders have been made 1or
small telephone exchanges ana LOT
hospitals and sanitariums. Ihese es-
Establishments must pay the same hOuf-
w rates as other employers. Since the
work is intermittent, it has been 1ouhd
necessary to- determine specially the
numher of hours which may be taken
as fairly representing the actuai
amount of work done and when must
be paid for.
The only women or minor employees
70 whom less than the rates given
above may be paid are indentured APP
DfontlceS anu pliS nie"AAS "
handicapped persons who nave peeii
licensed by the Industrial COMMISSION
| to work for less than the living wage.
NJ such license can be granted unless
there is a genuine handicap ana unless
fine rates paid are adequate to enaoie
all employees who are not handicapped
70 earn at least the minimum living
wage.
EMPLOYERS very generally have ac-
cented this law without complaint.
At present prices, % cents per hour
is not q desirable wage, but only a
| minimum living wage. Most women
and minor employees in the state are
and should be well above this mini
| m,1m. Nor is this wage based upon
| Milwaukee prices, but rather upon con
ditions in the small towns.
1t is true that only % per cent OF
the women employees in Wisconsin i've
away from home. Most OF the Otnef
| 75 per cent. however, must contribute
| TO the family treasury at least enough
| for their maintenance.
| 1t is recognized also that in many
| occupations an employee cannot become
| truly efficient in six months. After
six months, however, every empioye
