MIGHT TEST STATE
LAW FOR Minimum
WAGES FOR WOMEN
Chief Of Workmen's Compensa-
ton Bureau Says It May
Be Unconstitutional

Minot, N. D., July 30.-(AP)-Out
of "a situation in which wages lower
than the scale approved by the
Workmen's compensation bureau are
being paid to female workers in a
chain mercantile establishment in
Minot, under which it was recon-
mended to the states attorneys Of
flee Saturday that prosecution be
instituted, may come a test to deter
mine whether the North Dakota law
setting minimum wages for women
in certain lines Of endeavor is con-
stitutional.
Chairman R. E. Wenzel of the
North Dakota Workmen's Compen-
sation Bureau Saturday laid before
the states attorneys office a recon-
mendation that prosecution be insti-
tuted against the firm. The bureau
chairman said girl clerks are being
paid as low as SIS per week for a
38-hour week.
ut may be that the law is uncon-
stitutional, rs the manager undoubt-
eddy has been advised" chairman
Wenzel said, in urging that a prose-
Cution b.. launched with a view to
having the state supreme court hand
down a ruling. The chairman said
that somewhat similar legislation
enacted in other states has gone be-
fore the United States supreme court
and the highest tribunal has ruled
the laws illegal.
The evidence on which chairman
Wenzel made his recommendations
to the county prosecutors office
came out this week in the course of
hearings conducted at the Ward
county courthouse, dealing primarily
with the question of whether or not
the present minimum wage schedules
should be reduced.
Approximately 30 persons-em-
ployers and women employes-testi-
fled before chairman Wenzel, all of
the employers favoring a lowering
of the minimum scales, while express
sions from employees ranged from
ifavoring no changes to not more than
a Is per cent reduction in the mini
mum scale. The hearings were con-
cluded late Friday.
Next week, similar hearings will
be held at Grand Forks, the follow
ing week at Fargo and the next week
at Bismarck and Mandan.
