a relief mission to the Shantung
mountains where ii prisoners are
held by the bandits, reported today
that the concensus of opinion among

MINIMUM WAGE
LAW TEST UP
TO CONFERENCE

Grand Forks, May 2l-Any action
that may be taken toward testing the
constitutionality of the North Da-
kOta minimum wage law by the As
sociated Industries of North Dakota
will probably be largely determined
during conference of presidents
and secretaries of employers and in
dustrial associations of AZ states,
which opened today at Chicago, ac-
cOrding to R. f. Wenzel. secretary,
who left yesterday at. noon to at
tend the meeting.
Although the members of the AS
sociated Industries, in annual con-
vention here May 10, authorized
such action, no steps were taken
prior to the Chicago conference to-
ward testing the constitutionality Of
the North Dakota law, it is said. 1t
is believed that the Chicago confer
cnce will serve to clear up num-
Der of matters with regard to mini
mum wage legislation in the var
ious states so that q more definite
line Of action in North Dakota can
be evolved, it is said.
During the course Of the Chicago
meeting, special committee ap-
pointed last November to make a
general survey of the workings of
the minimum wage laws throughout
the United States, will make its re-
port, it is expected.
Mr.. Wenzel will returg to Grand
Forks on May Is, according to pres
ent plans.
