Board to Study
PreUailing Scales

Hence, the average wage was
about 1891 annually compared to
S1,082 enjoyed by men and the
employer proposal that the mini
mum be $757. And if the entire
payroll for the women amounted
to only 4 per cent of all sales,
it can be seen the rate would re-
uuire a raise far and away beyond
the existing average before any
appreciable effect on retail prices
could be justified.
A more comprehensive picture
of prevailing scales is being pre-
pared by the Minimum Wage
Board, but it's findings will be
prohibited from influencing the
final minimum, which is pre-
sumably to be based on the
amount needed to maintain
woman decently.
Meanwhile. an observer for the
board reports unofficially that
even the employees suggested
minimum would be less than the
wages paid on the average in
many of the better stores here. He
said a minimum wage would fall

The employees want $2l week
as the standard. The employers
are holding out for $14.51. Both
base their appeals on theoretical
cost of living. What neither appar-
emily knows is that, according to
the best estimates of trained De
partment of Commerce statistic
ians, compromise midway be-
tween the two demands would ap-
proximate the present average
scale!
In other words, the employers
want to guarantee some So less a
week than the existing average.
The employees want an excess Of
about the same amount. II the
latter do not succeed in raising
the average above its present
level, there will be little point in
setting a minimum wage except
to protect women working for a
few "chiSelerS."
The Government economists de-
clare that the total payroll for
all the 1852 female employees in
local retail trade in 1885 was prob
ably in the neighborhood of $13,-

JAPAN BOYCOTT

Adoption Seen Certain;
Dr.. Koo Cheered
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT

DENVER, Oct. Z Q.N.SO.-The
American Federation of Labor to.
day followed the lead of the Gov.
ernment in aSsailing Japan, and
prepared to adopt a resolution
calling on the working men of the
nation to boycott all goods manu-.
factured in that country.
There are approximately three
and a quarter million individual
members of the A. F. of L.. and
their families approach the twelve
million mark. Thus a rigid boy.
colt such as was proposed, and
seemed certain of adoption, would
prove a material impediment to
the sale Of japanese goods in the
United States.
GAINS SUPPORT
I. M. Ornburn, of Washington,

department of the federation, pro.
posed the boycott, and backed up
his resolution with a statement
that every dollar of Japanese
goods bought by this country puts
just that much into the bank &C.
counts of the war lords of Japan.
The resolution swiftly gathered
support here as the 500 A. F. of L.
annual convention delegates re-
ceived news of the Governments
action in terming Nippon the ag-
greSsor in the current fighting in
the Orient.
DR.. KOO CHEERED
Matthew w. Vol, a federation
vice president, conceded a boy
colt should be handled carefully,
but added:
Il am confident the Ameri-
can people will not want to as
SiSt Japan indirectly in its CAM
paign of violent aggression and
exploitation of Chinese resources
by purchasing Japanese prod
ucts in this country"
All of these sentiments were put
in the nature of an appeal earlier
in the convention by DR.. T. z. Koo,
secretary of the World Federation
of Christian Students, who was
ruondly cheered when he pleaded
for a united world against the i'm
perialiStic designs of Japan"

heated rooms, lack of ventilation,
not enough moisture in the room, ex-
posture to wet and cold, irhaling
dust or irritating substances, in
fected tonsils, and adenoid groWths.
All these interfere with the mucous
membrane of the nose SO that it IS
unable to fight off the organisms
that cause the cold. With the usual
or common head cold there is a
feeling of tiredness, chilliness, slight
headache. The symptoms last from
two or three days to several weeks.
Not Like Common Colds.
However, in the cold due to al
-sensitiveness to various SUBJ
stances-the history, the onset, the
symptoms themselves are consider
ably different from those of the
common cold.
DR.. Norman w. Celin, Seattle,
Wash, in Northwest Medicine,
says: Frequent colds at any sea-
son or at special seasons of the
year are often manifestations or
symptoms of allergy. To diagnose
that the condition is allergic there
must be an investigation Of CD a
family history of allergy, (2) pre-
vious allergic history of the patient
(asthma, hay fever, eczema, stom-
ach and intestinal upsetments) and
81 a present history of allergic
symptoms. All foods, plants, sub
stances handled in industry and
other substances should be tested
by the scratch method or injection
into the skin. The most constant
symptom of nasal or nose allergy is
"stuffy nose which is always
worse in the morning, chronic
cough occurring especially during
the early morning hours is likewise
symptom" | believe that these
simple methods of learning the diff
ference between the usual head cold
due to infections, and colds due tc
allergy (sensitiveness to substances
will enable us to treat either type
intelligently.

Use of Dinitrophen0I.

There are cases where the body
processes are working at the normal
rate, the individual does not eat
much food and yet the body weight
is much above normal. 1t is in
these cases that the new drug dini-
trophenol has been used with much
success.
From San Francisco, where a
great amount of research work has
been done on dinitrophenol, come
some interesting findings. In using
thyroid extract to make the body
processes work faster and SO burn
up fat, care must be taken where
there is any heart ailment as the
thyroid extract throws extra work
on the heart.
However when DR.. vi. L. fainter
used dinitrophenol in three cases
of overweight suffering with angina
pectoris, without any heart symp-
toms occurring, DR.. Harold Rosen-
blum, San Francisco. determined to
find whether the dinitrophenol in
creased the rate of the heart beat,
whether it increased the amount of
blood the heart pumped and wheth-
er it increased the blood pressure.
Acc ardingly the rate at which the
blood was flowing was observed be-
fore, during, and after the use Of
dinitrophenol in patents who were
being treated for overweight.
The blood travels completely
around the body in from ten to six
teen seconds. The tests were made
in the morning, no food having been
taken since the last meal of the
previous day-fourteen hours or
whereabouts, the patient lying quiet
ly at rest. A record was also kept
of the weight, the pulse rate before
and during the period during which
dinitrophenol was given.
The results showed that although
the rate at which the body processes
were working was greatly in
creased, nevertheless the heart die
not beat faster and the amount Of
blood purgped by the heart was not
increased. The blood pressure also
was aot increased by the dinitro.
phenol.
The reason that dinitropheno
should only be used under a physi-
clans supervision is that SO many
are sensitive" to ,@his drug just
as SO many are sensitive to pollens
furs, hairs and other substances
which cause haySfever, asthma, ano
eczema.
