MINIMUM WAGE
RATE TOO LOW
Social Workers Discover That Its
Impossible to Live on S12
a Week

Can a working girl clothe herself,
pay rent, carfare, laundry, purchase
food and meet other bills on $12
per week income? The Massachu-
setts Minimum Wage Commission
recently answered that question in
the affirmative. Three Boston social
workers challenged the decision and
put it to personal test. They under
took to live on $12 week, and all
broke down under the strain.
The women are Miss Amy Woods,
who is connected with the Wage
Commission, Miss Grace Coldwell, di-
rector of the New England Center
for Day Nurseries, and Miss Cora
Stoddard of the Scientific Temper
ance Federation.
Not one of the girls was able to
carry the experiment to a successful
termination, although all were in
good physical condition when they
started.
"You can exist" they said, "but
you cannot live on $12 week."
Aches, pains, old illnesses that
had passed into oblivion recurred as
the experiment progressed, and the
girls physicians insisted on an i'm
mediate return to normal, wholesome
diet.
