MINIMUM WAGE
BILL INTRODUCED
Mrs. horton Presents Meas
ure to Provide 6-Day
Week in D. c.

The initial move to amend the
resurrected minimum wage law for
the District was under way today, as
the District Commissioners held in
allegiance appointment of board to
administer the act.
In advance of possible general re-
vision of the 1918 law, with view
to bringing it up to date, the House
today had before it bill introduced
by Chairman Norton of the House
District Committee to provide max
ium six-day work week here.
Provisions of the measure would
be carried out by the new Minimum
Wage Board, appointment of which
has been delayed by request of Presi-
dent Roosevelt until the old wage
law, recently revived by the Supreme
Court, can be studied with a view to
possible modernization by Congress.
Chairman Norton's bill would pro-
hibit employers in Washington from
compelling any employe to work more
than six of any seven consecutive days.
The bill would exclude servants In
private homes and persons over 81
engaged in professional work.
The old Minimum Wage Board linz
tied its benefits to women and minors
in trades, business or industries ex-
cepting domestics.
Chairman Norton said she is will
ing to introduce any legislation in
connection with enforcement of the
minimum wage law that the District
Commissioners desire.
The President has asked the Speak
er and the Vice President to consider
whether revision of the wartime law
to meet todays problems is advisable.
In line with this request he has asked
the Commissioners to postpone action
looking toward formation of Mini
mum Wage Board at least until May l.
If Congress has acted by then, the
Commissioners are expected to pro-
eeed with organization of the board
with existing facilities.

Concentrating Founding
of Home Here.

Weather conducive to successful
Of the Jugo-Slav National
Home Commemoration Day greeted the
celebrants on Sunday when Is affiliated
lodges celebrated the anniversary Of the
of the home in this city.
The program was in charge OF Ivan

banners Of the several lodges repre-
sented. The Junior School Band was
next in line, heading more lodge men,
bers and banners. Then followed the
Teenie Vicente Band at the head of the
children of the parents in the ranks
ahead.
The Ely Drum and Bugle Corps
brought up the rear and they in turn
were followed by members in cars.
The parade was a colorful affair en-
HANGED by the gay and immaculate uni
forms of the four bands and the pro-
fusion of American flags and society
banners in the column. The Municipal
band wore their blue uniforms. The
Junior band in white; the Teenie
Weenie's in white and red, and the
drum corps in grey trousers, red blouses,
black saShed, and Spanish hats
The several drum majors heading the

tically. This was especially the case
with Drum Major Dillon and his young
lady assistants, the Misses Gouze and
Grahek
Buses and cars at the conclusion of
the parade conveyed all to Sandy Point.

Neu Ely Bank
Gets Charter

Attorney Thomas j. Carey was noti-
fled yesterday that the Commerce Com
mission had approved the application
for a new state bank in this city to be
known as the Security State Bank.
The charter for the bank was applied
for several weeks ago by Frank Jenko,
Thomas j. Carey, Jacob L. Pete and
Frank Zgonc. A hearing was held in
st. Paul three weeks ago at which the
advisability of new bank for Ely was
discussed, pro and con, before the COM
mission.
With the granting of the charter it
will now be possible to organize the
Security Bank and those heading the
movement make the claim that there
will be no difficulty encountered in
placing the stock.
1t is understood that the organization
capital will be $4,000 with $4,000 re-
serve fund.

FOUR INJURED
In CAR SMASH
Accident on No. l Highway
Puts Two in the Hospital
Tuesday Night.

Tuesday evening at about IL O'Clock,
two cars figured in a crash on High
way No. l, at the end Of the pavement
near the beginning of the Grant Nc
Mahan Boulevard.
AS the result of the accident four
people were taken to the Shipman
where two were found to have
sustained more serious injuries and
are being detained.
One car, occupied by Edward Petek
and William Maxi, both oil station at
tendants, on their way TO Tower after
leaving the pavement struck the rough
road. The car swerved to the side of
the highway, into sand pile after
which it again gained the roadbed.
In the meantime car in which Rob-
ert Berg and Robert Smith, coming
from Tower, arrived at the moment the
other car gained the road and the two
came together Both cars were dam
aged beyond repair.
The occupants were taken to the
hospital. An examination showed that
Petek had lost several teeth, had a cut
on the head and other injuries. Maxi
had deep cut in his back, bad con-
tusions about the body and is badly
shocked. Both he and Petek are at
the hospital. X-ray pictures show no
broken bones in either case.
Berg and Smith Jared rather bet
ter than Petek and Maxi. Smith
has cuts on his head and Berg sustained
bad bumps. Both were treated and al
lowed TO go home.
Judging by the condition of the cars,
it is a miracle that any of the occu-
pants escaped. The force of the i'm
pact threw Maxi and Petek onto the
side Of the road and this accounts for
their escape from sudden death it is
thought.
Those involved in the accident con-
slider themselves lucky to have escaped
more serious injuries and death.

MAYO DOCTORS
STUDY FISH in
SHAGAWALAkE
Study Made to Determine II
Infestation of Tapeworm
Larvae is on Decline.

DR.. Hiram e. Essex and Dr.. T. B.
Magath of the Mayo Clinic Of Roches-
ter, are here this week studying the
fish in Shagawa Lake. DR.. Corwin and
Donald Balfour of the Clinic are assist
ing in the work.
The study is being made to deter
mine whether infestation with the
larvae of the broadfish tapeworm of
man is on the decline.
These scientists, with DR.. Henry B.
Ward, made a study of fishes from
lakes in this region in 1927.
The party Is pleased with the splen-
did cooperation they are receiving
from Wardens w. A. Hanson and By
ron Carlson and DR.. j. E. Thompson,
city veterinarian and chemist.
DR.. F. c. Mann of the Mayo Clinic
was here Tuesday to determine the
progress being made by the scientists
in the problem before thin.
In 1927 Doctors Ward, Essex and Ma
gath proved that the life cycle Of the
European fish tapeworm was possible
in American fresh-water lakes. Pre-
vious to this medical history had
denied this. At that time this was her
aided in medical circles as one Of the
important discoveries.
This week a ten-year comparison Of
the sewage infestation of fish in Shay
ava Lake is being made with partic-
ular reference to the fish tapeworm
The personnel is conducting their work
at the city laboratory. Wardens Han
son and Carlson are assisting in get
ting the necessary fish for the expert
mental work.
An early report by Dr.. o. w. Parker
in a medical journal of the finding of
this fish tapeworm in a boy in Ely
gave the first clue as to the possibili-
ties Of the life cycle of this parasite
taking place in this neighborhood. And
from this report the research work Of
the Mayo Foundation began.

this year" says the Minnesota Tax
payers association, ''since taxpayers
interest in taxes is greatly on the in
crease"
TT is possible to keep local tax levies
down, while improving scholastic stand
ards" said James P. Mcdonnell, Of
Buffalo, president of the association,
since local school funds are now being
supplemented by substantial Allegations
from the state income tax 1t should
be possible for most school districts to
make reductions somewhat proportion
ate to the amount of the new funds
received from that source for state aid"
said Mr.. Mcdonnell.
Commenting on the forthcoming an
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1937-07-15

to figures compiled by national housing
statisticians showing the builders 'have
had their sights too high"
Eighty per cent of American families
must be content to live in home
which costs 5000 or less, on the basis
of their income, he said. Despite this,
building contractors have been concen-
trating on the higher income brackets,
instead of giving attention to the vastly
larger small-home market, he con-
tinued.
1T has been demonstrated under the
National housing act that a home or
mortgage can be Soundly financed in
such manner that the owner can make
payments equivalent to rent" Mr. Schil-
plin averred.
During the two and one-half years
that the FILA has functioned, the gov
eminent agency has insured mortgages
contracted by more than 100000 families
and the one billion dollar mark in valu-
alton has been passed, he asserted.
Sixty per cent of this figure repre-
sents new construction, and the re-
mainder refinancing and remodeling.
Emphasizing the soundness Of the
program, he pointed out that of the
100000 mortgages insured. only 26 were
defaulted, at total loss of s4,985.
These have been settled out of an in
surance fund amounting to more than
ST, 900 900.
Lending agencies in Minnesota have
done a wonderful job of cooperating
with the federal agency" he said. ITO
day they hold insured FILA notes for
SOL ,000, 900, including 10 million dol
lars in modernization and credit loans. .
The program for the latter ended April
/. Issuance of FILA insured mortgages,
of which total of S31 100000 IS being
carried in this state, is continuing.
I'VE are now concentrating our eff
forts on the long-term mortgage pro-
gram, which embraces financing of
urban homes" Schilplin said.

Plan LotU-Cost Homes

The Federal Housing Administration
is making plans to construct homes
costing from $1,000 to $4,000. a need for
such structures being sharply felt
throughout the country, as explained by
A. o. Eberhart, Chicago, special assist
ant to FILA Administrator Stewart Nc
Donald, former governor of Minnesota,
to small home" conference at Du-
luth.
The meeting had been arranged by
the Arrowhead Contractors Association
to discuss methods of solving the hous-
ing problem and to stimulate building,
particularly those in the lower income
groups.
In presenting details of the FILA
financing plan, Mr.. Eberhart asserted
sit is only through the restoration and
strengthening of the American home
by providing home ownership-that we
can dispel this talk of radicalism, Com
munism and other isms'"
IA or 5-room home, properly planned,
can be built at cost of 5000 by a
person whose weekly wage is SIS, the
FILA official pointed in presenting a
specific case. Such a home would
not be skinny in any sense Of the
word" but would be well built and
comfortable, he said.
Prospective home owners are able to
construct the houses under their direct
supervision, financed by local institu-
tons and materials supplied by home
companies.
One of the major elements in the
construction of less expensive homes Is
the building Of several structures in a
group, giving the owner considerable
reduction in costs, he said. The homes
may be planned to be individual in de-
sign and arrangement to avoid any
stereotype patterns. Mr.. Eberhart said
Approximately 100000 homes are ex-
pected to be constructed within the
next decade, he said.
Fred Schilplin, state FILA director,
called attention of building contractors
