Better office

Under Code

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The
increase of office boys salaries
to SIS a week under the mini
mum wage provision of the NRA
code will bring a better type of
boy to the job, employment
agency officers say.
Corporations and employment
agencies throughout the city re-
ported wage increases in some
cases more than so per cent to
the office boys, some of whom
had received as little as Sc a
week.
Albert R. Rohrer, manager Of
the Acorn Employment Service,
said that obscure firms had
tried unsuccessfully to hire Of
flee boys at the old wage rates.
He said:
"Several firms have called us
up and asked how much they
would have to pay for office
boys. When we told them they
said: Very well, we shall insist
then upon a better type boy. If
we have to pay high wages the
boys we get must be older, bet
ter educated, and must expect
to be given duties outside the
normal range of an office boys
activities"
