WAGE BOOST

May Get $3.50

A minimum wage for women
office workers, higher than any
minimum heretofore established
by the Minimum Wage Board, is
expected to be fixed soon, it was
learned today.
Although no official informa-
ton has been given out, it was
understood that $3.50 would be
fixed.
This figure represents a com.
promise between SIT submitted by
employers and $1,000 asked by
the workers. The previous high
fixed by the board was $18 for ex.
perienced beauty operators, while
SIT was fixed for the majority of
other women workers.
