THIS MAY INTEREST THE
SUPREME COURT

A special committee, named to study
minimum wage legislation, reported
TO the recent state labor conference
held in Washington as follows;
IN light of recent studies of wages
paid in various parts of the United
States, your committee concludes that
the need for mandatory minimum
wage legislation to prevent the pay
ment of sweatshop wages is as ur-
gent as ever
Indeed, so urgent is this need that
the committee recommends that every
effort be exerted by the states and the
federal government to draft minimum
wage legislation which will conform to
the present limitation imposed by the
constitution.
"Inasmuch as such legislation has
been held unconstitutional, the COM
mittee urges that the conference at
the same time endorse the proposal
that the federal constitution be
amended so as to permit minimum
wages and other social legislation.
In the hope that there may be
modification of the constitution in the
future to permit without question
government regulation Of wages,
thought should be given to the prin-
ciple which should be incorporated in
a model minimum wage law within
the terms of this constitutional
amendment"
This report was adopted unani-
mously.

to Maintain Steady Employ't

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)--In a
letter to Alvan Macauley, president
of the Automobile Manufacturers
Association, on the opening of the an
nual auto show in New York city,
President Roosevelt said:
II am particularly pleased that the
industry is repeating this year the
introduction of new models in Novem-
ber, because any effort which smooths
out the marked seasonal changes
which have characterized the industry
in the past is most desirable
II hope that every resource will be
exhausted and every effort directed
to the end that all the employees en-
gagged in the production of automo
biles will have continuous employ
ment."
| This is the second year that nev
models have been introduced in No
vember, and the first, year ago, wa
due entirely to the efforts of the gov
ernment, and particularly to the re
port issued by the automobile commit
tee of the NRA.

HE HAS WANDERED FAR

The disciple of Tom Johnson, first
great champion Of public ownership
in this country, has wandered long
ways from the altar when Newton D.
Baker appears before the United
States Supreme Court to plead for one
of the greediest members of the
Power Trust.
The federal government, in its
efforts to relieve unemployment, has
granted loans and even subsidies to
communities which wish to put ii
power plants Of their own. One such
community is Greenwood county
South Carolina, to which was made
grant and loan totaling $2,852 900
But Mr.. Baker, speaking for the Duke
Power Co, says that the government
has no right to make such a grant
and loan, because the public plant

Low PAY
Declared Factor in Keeping
Up Relief Load

Rochester, N. Y. (ILNS)-Millions
of dollars of taxpayers money now
being spent for home relief can be
saved by giving the employables on
the relief rolls larger share of the
new jobs being created in private in
dustry, by eliminating substandard
wages which force the relief bureaus
to supplement such income and by
eradicating tendencies on the part Of
some employers to discriminate
against relief recipients, Miss Char
lotte E. Carr, executive director Of the
Emergency Relief Bureau and former
ly secretary Of labor of Pennsylvania,
told the New York State Conference
on Social Work here.
Because relief expenditures have
been on cash basis, bringing thou
sands of dollars to landlords, grocers,
butchers, bakers, department stores,
public utilities, clothiers, doctors,
nurses and others, the relief program
has helped toward improving general
business conditions, Miss Carr said.
New job opportunities are increasing
and the relief rolls are just begin
ming to feel the effect of them," she
declared. But the progress has been
slow, too slow"
Three factors that are delaying the
transfer of employable relief recip-
tents to private payrolls are the per-
centage of jobs going to relief re-
cipients, sub-standard wages, and a
tendency to discriminate against men
and women on relief, the relief direc-
tor charged.
A general check of the number of
relief cases closed because of private
jobs and the number of new jobs ere.
ated in industry in the last few
months indicates that only one out OF
four jobs is going to those on re
lief, Miss Carr said.

BY A. f. OF l.. News Service.
The continued menace of militarism
from Nazi Germany, accentuated by
the extension of compulsory military
service to two years, has alarmed the
French government, whose records
show 19,467 fewer births than deaths
in 1885 compared with 291 900 more
births than deaths under Hitler's die
tatorship.
To remedy this deficiency in births
and potential soldiers-the govern
ment has inaugurated number of
measures. Reduced railroad fares and
certain other benefits are given to
large families and public employees are
awarded an annual bonus for each
minor child. 1t is said a movement is
under way to have the annual bonus
extended to the employees of private
industry.
The bestowal of doweries on worthy
girls Of the poorer classes, who remain
single in large numbers because their
families are unable to provide them
with doWeries sufficiently large to at

Of the new industrial order, under
which employers are learning that
their workers are human beings who
appreciate humane treatment, the Bay

welcome betterment in working con-

The new arrangement provides that
all employees will go on a six-day work
week instead of seven as heretofore,
and every five weeks each employe
will be enabled to have two consecu-
tive days Of leisure. The shortening
of the work week was also accom-
panied by an increase in wages.

Now that the campaign is over, it is
easy to see that not half the pro-

the treasury they ever had.
Plenty Of things were never prop

Perhaps if the whole story could

Well, they'll have chance to re-

Canada has already turned down one
proposition.

Has he gone-has anybody missed

There were those who said the

There were ten million workers who

In 1885, the average cost of electric
current used in the United States for
domestic purposes, according to bull

In the same year 1886, the average
cost of electric current used in the
province of Ontario for domestic pur-

In other words, American domestic
