The National Association Of Wage
Farmers has been established and

In one general association al colored
women ana girls who are wage
earners.
Mamie H. Burroughs. president

also president of the National Train.
ing School for CoIored Women and
Girls, said today that colored' WON.
en- wage earners are the only large
unprotected labor group in Ameri-
ca and, as q consequence, have
been exploited and mistreated.
Our association" continued Miss
Burroughs, will try to get for them
fairer wages, better living condi.
tons, greater respect and economic
justice. The association also con.
ducts a school for its members, to
develop in the worker greater skill
and general efficiency, pride OF &C.
cupation and Improvement In gen.
eral conduct"
The association points out that
there are Is establishments in q
Western State, employing over 49,.
900 negro women. and because Of
the lack Of organization among
these women, general standards
among them are lower than the
average and their Industrial op-
portunities more restricted than
those Of other women workers.
The platform Of the association
calls to its membership every
colored woman wage Garner whether
skilled or unskilled, domestic aerv.
ant, secretary, college president or
field hand. Thus, working together,
they argue, advancement can be
reached to a place of influence
and respect in the labor world.

 HSubsequent to June 30, 1924, dairy permits have been issued only upon full compliance with the requirements of the milk code It was found possible to automatically renew the dairy per mits of numerous dairies, while, on the other hand, dairy permits were tenn pofarily withheld from any others, but because of evidence and assurance which could be relied upon of quick compliance with the law the distribu- tion of their product in its raw state and this group of dairymen, pending compliance with the regulations, were given the privilege of temporarily talk ing care of their customers by pur- chasing and distributing either raw or pasteuriZed milk from an authorized source, while at the same time ship their own product to any authorized plant to be pasteurized and subsequent ly graded and utilized in a manner deemed necessary and proper by the department of health.
