Employers Forced
To Give Minimum
Wage To Workers
Thousands Of Dollars For
Underpaid Collected BY
Wage Division
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Columbus, O.-During the first nine
months of 1888, the Minimum Wage
Division of the Ohio Department of
Industrial Relations recovered more
wages due women and minors from
employers covered by mandatory
wage minima under the state mini
mum wage law than the total recover
ed in the previous four-and-one-half
years the law has been in effect.
This enforcement record was re-
vealed last week by Miss Elaine
Shelter, Superintendent of the Divis-
ion, in a report to Director O. B.
Chapman on the three industries COW
cred to date by mandatory orders
food and lodging, dry cleaning and
laundries.
Of the 1898 total wages recovered
through the efforts of the Division SO
far this year, $3O,429 were collected
for 1892 employees in the food and
lodging industry, Miss Shelter re-
ported.
Thirty-five employees of dry cleaners
were paid $1,391 due them under the
minimum wage law, and 80 laundry
workers received SLOTS in wages due
them from their employers.
While more than $50,000 has been
recovered for workers under the
minimum wage law in Ohio since its
enactment, the Division has had to
resort to criminal court procedure on
only 40 occasions and civil suits in
66 instances.
Another precedent in establishing
the intent and purpose of the law was
set in Columbus municipal court last
week when a conviction was obtained
in a case involving restaurant own
er who was charged with violating
the law by compelling mattresses to
pay for laundering their uniforms
and aprons.
Agents of the Division successfully
charged that this practice by Albert
