Farmers Union Names
Same Figure

At a meeting that packed the city
hall at Colfax Saturday the farmers
of Whitman county established the
wage scale for spring farm labor.
Thirteen communities of the county
were represented by the 1926 farmers
present. 1t was voted that the wage
for single men would be $40 a month
with board. Where a married man
and wife are employed the wage will
be $50 to SIS month with board
and room.
In connection with the labor cues
ton and the wage scale the matter
OF the employment agency was taken
up 1t was decided that the agency
should be taken over by the farrn
bureau, assisted by the county agent.
In this connection it was voted tina.
the chair appoint a committee to
consult with the county commission
ers to see if arrangements could be
made to furnish the county agent
with office help and a more suitable
location to conduct the office, it be-
ing realized that the present location
is not convenient for handling the
labor question nor for the use of
the farmers.
In session at Colfax on Tuesday of
last week the county Farmers Union,
after a full discussion of the oues
ton, recommended the sum of $40
per month as basic wage for farm
