TO FIX new WAGE SCALE
New Minimum by Court viii Be Be-
tween $40 and $11 Per Week

It is likely that the new minimum
wage recommended by the industrial
court will range from $40 to $11 a
week according to rumors in the state
house. There is little probability that
the labor court will seek to enforce
the welfare commission budget OF
.s16.93 necessary living expense for the
girl or woman who earns minimum
wage
At present minimum wage orders in
force in Kansas range from $3.50 to
81 a week. The wage variance is
due to the fact that wage awards
were made at different times for diff
ferent industries. The established
wage for mercantile establishments is
$3.50 as a minimum and in manufac-
turing industries ranges as high as
$11.
According to state house informa-
ton records show a decrease of 80 to
40 per cent in living costs since the
welfare commissions budget was com
piled. Allowing for a 35 per cent de
cline in living expenses, the total would
be reduced to $11. Some estimates OF
the probable new wage award are as
low as $40 week. A few are for
a wage of $12 a week.
General hearings are to be held by
the industrial court and a new wage
schedule fixed sometime this spring.

is not out of it, Neither does he state

positive denial, however, of a report
sent from Washington to the effect
that he had stated he would not run

he preferred to be the interviewer and
asked numerous questions regarding
the situation in the state and develop
ments during his ten days absence.
He displayed particular interest in the
approaching meeting of the taxpayers
Material candidates to make definite
statements regarding their attitude
toward the industrial court.
"A report was sent from Washing
ton to the effect that you told a Kan

candidate for third term. Was the
report correct?" was asked.

'I haven't told anyone I won't be
a candidate" replied the governor.
The governor said he would not
BILE candidacy at this time. Any
statement which he will make is ex-
pected to be withheld until after the
meeting of the tax league here Thurs
day.
Reports which have been sent back
to Kansas are to the effect that the
governor talked much politics with
Washington. He refused to conlment
on these conferences when asked re-
garding attitude of the state delega-
