GIVE BOOST TO
MINIMUM WAGE
Minimum Wage Raised by
Industrial Commission
From 22 to rs Cents.
NO CHANGE IN HOURS

Kenosha manufacturers and other
employers are interested in the action
of the state industrial commission held
at Madison recently ,when-a new mini
mum wage rate for experienced en-
ployes over II years of age was fixed.
The new minimum rate increases the
present one Of twenty-five cents /an
hour to twenty-five cents. 1t applies
to all cities of 5000 or over and in
communities which are a part of the
industrial area of such cities. The
wage scale becomes effective. Aug. 1.
In other parts of the state the pres
ent rate for experienced employees of
% cents an hour is left unchanged.
The commissions order is the out
come of petition for the increase
which it has had under consideration
for many months. The petition asked
for an increase in the minimum wage
rates and a reduction in the hours of
labor of women and minors.
On the matter of hours the commits
sion finds in its report that the evil
dence secured in the series of hearings
it conducted was not sufficient to es-
tablish that present maximum hours
of labor are injurious to the health
of women or minor employees.
Consequently, it does not make any
change in the present maximum hours
of labor. 1t announces, however, that
it will continue to make Investigations
in various industries to determine
whether present regulations are I'M
satisfactoryNor injurious to the health
or women employees.
The beginning rate during the first
three months of the learning period is
reduced from IS cents per hour to IS
cents per hour. No change>is made in
the present rate of 20 cents per hour
for the second three months of en-
ployment in any industry, and similar
provision of a six months, learning
period. For minor employees between
IA and 16 years of age the new rate
is Is cents per hour during the first
year of employment and 20 cents per
hour during the second year, instead
of flat 18 cents for all children up to
16. Minors between 16 and II may be
paid 16 cents per hour during the first
six months in any industry and must
lbe paid 20 cents thereafter.
This new minimum wage order is
almost identical with the new rates
which were put in force in Minpe-
sofa in January, 1921,
The petition upon which this deci-
sion Of the commission has now been
made was filed last fall by the Wiscon-
sin State Federation of Labor, Milwau-
kee Council of Social Agencies, and the
Wisconsin Consumers league. 1t is
prepared upon extensive Investigations
into the cost of living Of self support
ing women in all parts of the state
and in towns of all sizes. Twenty
eight public hearings were held in Is
cities of the state and a great mass
Of testimony was presented to the
commission.
The commissions decision carries
out the determination which was I'M
animously reached by the advisory
wage board at meeting held in Madi-
son some time ago. This advisory
wage board is constituted of four
representatives of employers selected
by the employers organizations of this
state, one Conrad Shearer, being of
Kenosha.

The new road up Ash Fork Hill is now completed and will be opened to traffic at once:
 County Supervisor Caring, County Engineer Wright drove down from Flagstaff Wednes- day to view the road. At Will Hams they were joined by Su- pervisor Rittenhouse.

The hill, for years the dread of tourists, is now the best part of the Williams Ash Fork road, and is an easy climb for any car.
 The entire Williams-Ash Fork road is now in fairly good condition. The sections that must remain unworked for the present for want of funds. are what were formerly the best parts of the road.

He brought down a nice young buck late in the afternoon. By this time he was so far from his car that he decided to carry only half of his kill back at one load. He eX- perienced much difficulty in To- eating his car, so that dusk was falling when he finally placed his load in it. He gave up going back after the other half due to the enclosing darkness and set out for home by the Garland Prairie road. He had not gone far when he discovered that his gasoline was out: He found that in running over little pine trees and brush, the drain cock at the bottom of the gasoline tank had been brushed open. He walked a number of miles to c. A. Moses ranch where he got the necessary fodder for his Lizzie and with this manag- ed to reach home in the early morning. e.

WOMEN MAKING CON-
 FORTS OF UNSOLD WOOL

The fact that much wool has proved unstable except at a loss has caused many farm women to consider the home utilization of some of the wool on hand. A few months ago a home demonstration agent from the United States Department of Agriculture and the State agricultural college gave demonstration on the washing and carding of wool for com forters at a club meeting in Silverdale community, Kitsap County, Wash. As a result women all over the county have become interested in making wool comforters. and it seems as if there would be enough made to supply an entire future generation. Flour and sugar sacks have been found excellent for interlining.

BIG RABBIT HUNT FOR
 WINS. ODD FELLOWS

Arrangements have been completed for the Annual Rab- bit Hunt of the Odd Fellows. The day set is Sunday, Novem- Der 6. A number of cars have been donated, requisitioned and otherwise obtained, and it is anticipated that there will be riding room for all who will be up early enough for the start The party will meet at the liar vey house at 6 80 and will leave for the hunting grounds at sew en sharp. No shooting will be allowed along the road, but up on arriving at the grounds for the contest, the party will be divided into two sections both of which will start shooting at a given signal.
 The hunting grounds which have been chosen are located about thirty-five miles north of town. This is far enough not to endanger the lives of the people of Williams, but it is confidently expected that life will be much less safe for the bunnies.
 Two handsome prizes have been put up. There is still difference of opinion as to just how the prizes shall be award ed. Some maintain that the first prize should go to the high man on the winning side and the second to the high man on the losing side. Yet others maintain that the first prize should go to the highest man re- gardless of whether his side wins or loses.
 Next Wednesday night will be held the big feed following the hunt. It is anticipated that practically every link-man with in walking or riding distance of Williams will be on hand for that feed.
