In pursuance of the movement which has for its purpose the urging of all working people. to give their combined support to reputable cen cerns that have uniformly shown a friendly attitude toward the cause of Labor, there will here be found a directory of enterprises which we feel can be conscientiously endorsed and which are, therefore, justly entitled to our good will and united co-opera- 'tion

When the times are busy some of the girls make more than me, but l get it all the year round. It counts up, don't 1t? There now, we'll add 1t all up and see" Teeth care, $22; breakfast, week days 25 cents, Sundays, s scents, to- tai, $50. 20; lunch at factory, 20 cents day, total, 800; dinner, $I5o; room, $4- 50 a week, $234; carfare, ST week, total 50, not including two weeks vaca- tion; laundry,s 75 cents every two weeks, $Io.5o; church, SIS; candy and movies, $3o; Christmas fund, $52; ! total, $672.7o, Vacation, $50, making $722. 70.
 Items of dress given: shoes, s17.85; rubbers, 95 cents; slippers, $I.o8; stockings, $8 50; corsets, $8; cloth for underwear, $II; kimonas, two, $7.5o; total, $5578; totaling expenditures positively known at $77848. Yearly wage, $o88. Deducting expenses kept, leaves $2oo.52 for all other purposes.
 This is an exceptional case and is amount is left over after moderate items as to food and shelter are counted out of a wage which is held to be good
 A great many workers, especially those who can sew, spend no more than $II7.3o a year on their ward robes, but 1t is distributed differently from the California budget and even then 1t Is a niggardly allowance. The item of $I day for food which will sustain health can only procure three meals daily in the cheapest of restaur- ants or on the plan of the factory worker who has a nutritious and ap- petizing lunch at cost. But all fac tories do not have lunchrooms, though they should. And all workers are not in factories
 The $8 a month allowance for room Is utterly out of the question for any worker who wants a fairly comfortable, even if meagre room. But. taking it's lowest figures, the California allowance as computed would require SI3.42 week, and $I6.2o If the $2o month room were substituted
 No matter what the descent in the cost of living, your investigator be- lieves that no girl or woman, wholly dependent Oh herself can support her self even in scrimpy manner on less than $I3.5o a week She may manage to exist, but she will be unhappy, dis satisfied and her state of mind will wear on the efficiency of her produc- ton and from a business point of view she IS going to be bad invest ment.

INDUSTRIAL INVESTIGATOR TELLS OF
 SPICY INTERVIEWS IN NOVEL REPORT
New Haven Young Women Scorn California Pro pOsal That Would Place Minimum Scale at $15 Week-Razz Itemized List of Articles That Working Girl
 Should Wear.

The small decline in the cost of living does not in any way justify a decrease in the wages of the women workers of Connecticut That is the opinion voiced by Charlotte Moly- neux Holloway, special industrial in vestigator on conditions Of the indus tries and the wage earners of the state, that has been submitted to Gov ernor Templeton and the legislature, to the latter within the past week.
 "They should be allowed to enjoy it's benefit" adds Miss Holloway, who, in concluding a lengthy investi- gation that brought her in touch with girls and women in practically every city and town in the state, finds that any lowering of the minimum wage scale at the present time would be disaSteTous to industry.
 The investigator in her interesting report tells of the minimum wage scale of, SIS proposed for California working girls which has met with bit ter opposition from labor and other organizations. She introduced this itemized schedule of expenditures for living expenses to Connecticut girls for their opinion and got some red hot answers. Girls of this state ridi- culed the California schedule as i'm possible" an imposition" and mot fit to live decently on"
 Here Is the schedule proposed by California industrial experts as fitting for working woman to live Satis- factorily on:
 Shoes, two pairs, $5; petticoats, two, $4; night gowns, three, $3.75; underwear, $7.25; suit to last two years, yearly portion, $I2.5o; sweater, to last two years, yearly portion, $L75; hatI three, SIS; gloves, two pair, $3; handkerchiefs, one dozen, ST. 20; kimona, $2; waists, three, $8; rubbers, 85 cents; umbrella, to last two yearA yearly portion, ST. repairing shoes, S3; cleaning and repairing clothing, $4"
 Statistics were filed showing that a working woman may obtain three meals a day sufficient to sustain her in health for ST; desirable rooms may be obtained from $8/to $2o a month; carfare, toilet drticles,/ medical and dental services, vacation, amusement and laundry will cost $I2o year.
 The total for clothing is $II7.3o year California is warm climate, in every sense of the adjective, and
