Won1en's Bureau Halls Gains
In Minimum Wage Legislation

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-"The
case for minimum wage for women
workers has made important gains in
various states during the past year
and half" according to Miss Mary
Anderson, director of the Women's
Bureau of the U. S. Department of
Labor. "Not only have new laws been
enacted in important industrial states
but the administration of these laws
in most cases has gone along at a
most satisfactory pace.
"Of particular significance" says
Miss Anderson, "is the interstate
compact for establishing uniform
standards for conditions of employ
ment, particularly with regard to
minimum wage, signed by the seven
states of Connecticut, Maine, Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire, New York,
Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island at a
meeting at Concord, N. H., on May
20 of this year. Four of these states
have already passed minimum-wage
legislation; three have not.
"This compact constitutes new
trend in the formulation of labor leg
islation. / believe that such co-opera-
ton on the part Of neighboring
states will work toward the elimina-
tion of competition between the states
and remove the pressure toward long
hours of work, low wages, and unfa-
vorable working conditions. States
themselves are assuming responsible
ity for one another which is very
heartening development in our eco
nomic life.
Another high spot in the history
of the minimum wage" Miss Ander-
son continues, "is the replacement by
the Massachusetts legislature of the
former minimum-wage law for women
by one which is essentially the same
as that of the New York law based
on the National Consumers League
| model bill. In the former law wage
| orders could not be carried beyond
what is now known as the directory
STAGE that is the old law depended
entirely on public advertisement o1
names of offenders to bring com
pliance. With the new law, orders
may be made mandatory after nine
months.
"Three states whose minimum-w wage
laws were passed in the spring Of
1888 have concentrated on setting uI
fair wage standards for women in the
laundry industry. Of these, New Yorl
has set minimum Of 81 cents al
hour in New York city and 271s cent.
outside New York city. Ohio has Sc
one of 271a cents an hour, and tn,
| last statement available from New
Hampshire indicated that % cents
an hour would be the rate established
there. In New York and New Hamp
shire the minimum rates set by tn,
NRA code for the laundry range from
25 to 30 cents, in Ohio from 22h t,
25 cents, for a A0-hour week, depend
ing on location and size of city O
community. This code has an inter
esting provision. 1t states that wher
the minimum set by the state law il
higher than the code rate, it shal
take precedence over the code rat
for men as well as for women"
