 NEW WAGE SCALES
Minimum Affecting 800 Women Formulated By
 Labor Commissioner

Nine shops in Connecticut en- gagged in the manufacture of mems pants will operate on a new wage scale within the next ten days. State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone has formulated & minimum wage order affecting more than 500 women engaged in these particular industries.
 Hearing yesterday at the state la bor department on recommended minimum wage of 35 cents an hour brought no objection from employers to the basic rate of pay for skilled workers. Objection was raised how ever to a provision that 35 cents an hour must be paid to unskilleo workers, and to provision that workers be paid for waiting time when they have no work before them.
 The minimum wage was recom- mended by a board consisting ot employer, employe and public rep 1 resentatives. If put into effect, it will be the first minimum wage or der to operation in Connecticut fol- lowing the decision of United States supreme court upholding minimum wage legislation.

HARRY BENNETT
 MUCH PLEASED
Father of Girl Who ElOped Happy to Know She
 Is Alive

Ypsilanti, Mich, Jan. 5.-(UP). Harry H. Bennett, wealthy hard boiled Ford Motor company execu- tive, cried She's still my babyl' today and urged his 17-year-old daughter, Gertrude, to return home with the college tap dancer and orchestra leader with whom she eloped Monday night.
 '"Trudy is still my baby and she is welcome home" said Bennett af- ter kidnapping fears had been dis sipated by police announcement that the girl and Russell Hughes, 21l had been married at Auburn, Ind, by a justice of the peace.
 The Ford personnel director, who formed one of the toughest secret police units in industrial history was not too tough when he learned of the continuation of his daughters romance.
 Glad She Is Safe
 q am glad she is safe" he said q hope the guy has a job and can support her. will do nothing to interfere with the marriage, and will help them establish a home"
 Police could not learn where Miss Bennett and her husband went on their honeymoon. Bennett said that he believed they were too frightened to notify him, but was confident that he would hear from them to- day. Hughes, according to his step father, had only $6 when he left home.
 News of the marriage came at a time when Michigan state police and federal agents had assembled at the castle-like Bennett home to organize 8 wide search. Bennett who is in charge of labor relations in all Ford plants, had feared for his daughters safety because, he said, he had received numerous threats.
