WILL ADJUST woMEN's WAGE
Court to Conduct Hearings in
September

SEPTEMBER
Minimum wages OF Kansas wo-
men in industry are to be scientif-
cally adjusted to approximate the
cost Of living as the result Of an ex-
tensive survey just completed by the
women's division Of the court Of In
dustrial relations. Miss Lima Bres-
cite, director Of the division, Is now
compiling the report of the survey.
Early in September the court Will
conduct open hearings at which
merchants and manufacturers VIII
be given an opportunity to express
their views as to desired changes In
| the present minimum wage orders
established by the old Industrial
Welfare Commission. As the result
Of the living cost survey It seems
probable that two important changes
viii be made:
First-Minimum wage scales will
be increased materially to more
nearly equal the bare cost Of living.
Second-Different scales will be
esta blished for first, second and
third class cities.
The actual cost of living for wo-
men was ascertained in about forty
Kansas municipalities, fairly evenly
divided between cities of the three
classes. Costs were tabulated for a
model budget covering the three
essential items Of food, clothing and
lodging.
A survey made last year when
wages were at their peak revealed
that SO per cent Of the 4,3O7 wo-
men for whom payroll data were
obtained were receiving less than
$12 weekly. Thirty-three per cent
were receiving from $12 to $3.50,
while Is per cent were receiving
$3.50 and over.

CLOSED BRIDGE
THIRD STREET is NOW WITH
OUT A CROSSING
State Condemns Bridge And Ad-
vises Its Dlsuse-City Commits
sioners Act Promptly

The city commissioners at a
meeting this afternoon acted prompt
" on the report Of the state high
way engineer and ordered the Third
street bridge closed. Barriers Will
stop all travel except by the First
street bridge until new bridge Is
constructed.
The Third street bridge Is doomed.
The investigation by an engineer OF
the state highway commission made
last week resulted in this report
made today to the city commission
ers by the state engineer, as the one
he received from the inspector, o.
j. Eidman, assistant state bridge
engineer:
Report on Bridge
"At the request Of Mr.. Rees, coun-
ty engineer of Dickinson County, l
made an inspection Of the Mud
creek bridge within the corporate
limits Of Abilene, Kansas, on the
Golden Belt road.
"This structure was considered In
questionable condition by the city
officials who were DESTROYS Of hav-
ing needed repairs made II repair
ing was possible or have to replaced
IL the old bridge was found to be be-
yond repair. To replace this struc-
ture would however, involve greater
expenditure than the city is allowed
by law for bridge construction. The
idea was therefore, to have the coun-
ty assist in building the bridge and
bear the partial cost on excess Of the
$4,000 which Abilene may spend.
"The existing bridge is steel
bedstead type Of span at SO feet,
built in 1887 by the Missouri Valley
worth. The roadway is about 20
feet with cantilevered sidewalk
along each side. The floor consists
of two layers Of 3 inch lumber. on
3x12 wood stringers at about "a
inch centers. The stringers rest
upon "a inch floor beams.
1.-THE condition of the bridge may
be summed up in a general way as
follows:
"All members and joints are bad
ly rusted. The cover plate on the
top chord bulges between rivets-in
sone places as much as one fourth
of an inch. Most of the members
are out of line. The end posts have
been damaged by motor vehicles, one
being badly bent and buckled and
another being completely broken off
and replaced by timber piece. The
entire truss is distorted, being
wedged in between rigid concrete
approach slabs with no allowance for
any expansion The expansion in
the truss is taken care of by men,
bers bending out of line and break
ing connections.
due to the condition Of the
bridge, it is impossible to estimate
its carrying capacity. To date It
has carried ordinary traffic, how
ever, not without considerable vibra-
ton. In its best condition, this
bridge would not be fit for use on SO
important road rs the Golden Belt
because Of not being heavy enough.
"In view Of the above mentioned
findings, I consider repairing out of
the question, and my recommends
ton Is to have the present bridge
condemned and closed to traffic, and
to accommodate traffic over that
street, new bridge should be

Uncle Sam and Disarmament

ding a delegate to the coming disarm-

the senate, In answer to Senator Har-
rison of Mississippi, he outlined some
of the principles which will guide him
at the conference.
He favors general limitation
of ornaments, but he favors no limi-
tation unless it is general. He re-
CARDS armament reduction as primari-
ly necessary to relieve the worlds
economic distress, and he hopes that
it will also promote universal peace.
He considers that the United States
has already cut it's army and navy
budgets to the danger line and thinks
it would be a grave mistake to make
further curtailment unless there is an
international agreement for reduction
of armament.
