URGES BAN On
CHILD LABOR

WASHINGTON, March 80. QU.P)-
Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins
today recommended prohibition OF
child labor in sugar beet cultiva-
ton on the basis Of report sub
mitted by a special committe which
investigated the INDUSTRY.
The committee suggested that
minimum wage of S29 an acre for
adult beet sugar workers be estab-
lished and that a minimum pay OF
$500 plus housing for a family OF
four workers be assured for a sea-
son S employment.
The committee recommended that
beet sugar be made a basic COM
modify and that production be linn
ited through acreage reductions.
Average wages last season were
found to be less than 500 for a six
months season. As a result most
beet sugar workers were forced to
subside on relief, Investigators said
Children OF sseet growers would
be exempt from the child labor
ban. Agreements with producers
under the AAA should provide for
no child labor and minimum wages,
the committee said.

An uninformed group has been
distributing a statement purporting
to show expenditures of the Ell Cen
tro Chamber of Commerce. Though
not so stated, the sum named is the
total expended between January /,
1928, to March, 1884, period of 6A
years.
If the amount published were the
entire expenditure of the chamber
for the six year period of its great
est growth and emergence from Il
country town to a city, it would
seem very little indeed. However,
loyal members of the chamber have
regularly contributed dues which,
added to the ALLEGATION from the
citys one mill levy, made it possible
for the chamber to function in its
regular work and in the welfare and
business activities in the program to
build up Ell Centre.
All the money received from the
membership dues and from the one
mill city levy, is accurately budget
ed and carefully expended by the
board of directors comprising II To-
cal businessmen elected each year
These men give to the expenditure
of chamber funds the same close
supervision they give to their pri-
vate businesses.

of the city who have acted on the
