MERCHANTS
OF Hamilton Pledge Support
to President in RecOv-
cry Program

Hamilton merchants will "Do
Their Part" in every way possible to
further Presidents Roosevelt's recov-
cry plan. This was decided upon at
meeting of the Hamilton Mer-
chants Association, held last Friday
night at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium,
when it was unanimously voted by all
those present to back the president s
national recovery administration plan
to bring about unemployment of mil
lions before Labor Day, to shorten
working hours, increase wages and
stimulate business and industry.
An argument was reached fixing
a 52-hour week for stores and reg
ulating the hours which a group of
stores in the same line Of business,
will keep open. The agreement pro-
vides for stores to be open from 9
a. m. to $50 p. m. from Monday to
Friday, inclusive, and from $3.50 a. m.
to p. m, on Saturday.
The agreement became effective
Tuesday of this week, August /, and
practically includes all types of
stores.
While the agreement adopted by the
merchants provides for 52-hour
week, it also stipulates that no en-
ploye shall work more than 40 hours
in one week. A minimum wage OF
$14 a week was also established. With
a 42-hour business week and work
ing schedule of 40 hours week, the
merchants are compelled to employ
more additional men and women to
continue the same standard of service
as heretofore given.
The closing of the stores on Sat-
urday night has been the dream OF
store employees for years, and its an
nouncement by the merchants is re-
ceived with glad acclaim by all those
affected.

KEYSTONE STATE
Inquiry Reveals Pay Under
Level of Subsistence

Allentown, Pa. Following
an investigation of conditions in the
needle trades industries of Lehigh
and Northampton counties, a commits
sion appointed by Gov. Pinchot re-
ported that wage rates for many
workers were SO low that they could
not make decent living and in some
, cases not even subsistence.
The commission, which included
Clarence j. Moser, secretary of the
Central Trades and Labor Council of
Allentown, found bad working condi-
tions and violations of sanitary and
hours codes. Testimony before the
commission showed that there were
instances of women working more
than 10 hours day and 81 week.
Employees" the report said, STATED
that they were afraid to report such
violations because they feared the loss
of their jobs"
The commission found that working
papers were returned to school au-
thorities when child workers under
the age of 16 objected to their condi-
tions of employment. This policy was
followed in an effort to force chill
dren to return to work, the commits
sion said.
Testimony was given showing that
children worked more than the law
full number of hours per day and
week. ut was indicated by child
workers." the commission said, that
they were warned by bosses not to
give information to inspectors and to
tell falsehoods when questioned by in
vestigators of the department of
labor mad industry, so that violations
by the employer would not be dis
covered"
Recommendation by the commits
sion included enactment of minimum
wage legislation, amending of the
hours law to prohibit women working
| more than 40 hours per week and
amendment of the child labor law to
prevent the employment in industry
of children under 16,
