Women proved more inclined to

"Save More Money" Leads
Both men and women. however,

These questions are in the spot
light today as the United States
enters 1889 with hopes of PROS
perity and industrial peace. win
Administrator Elmer F. Andrews
and his department OF labor asso-
ciates encounter the same stormy
opposition from business men and
the public generally that swamped
General Hugh S. johnson and the
NRA? Will there be discomfort In
the ranks Of the employed?
These are questions which only
the future can answer, but a ma
tional study conducted by THE
American Institute of Public Opin-
ion shows two important things
about the country's temper as 1889
begins:
First, the rank and file Of
Americans approve Of the
wages and hours law and the
way II IN working.
Second, the great ma jorify
Of wage-carners are satisfied
that their wages are fair and
that they are not being re-
quired to work an unreason-
able number Of hours per
week.
Taken together. these two facts
indicate n strong popular base
for Industrial peace in the COM
ing year.
The Institute put Its questions
to carefully selected cross-sec-
ton of the voters in all parts OF
the United States. Seven in every
ten, on the average, declared they
were in favor of the wages and
hours law. The actual vote was:
Are you in favor OF the new
wages and hours law"
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1939-01-03

This means that there is more
sentiment for wages and hours
regulation today than there was a
year ago, or two years ago. Last
January. when President Roosevelt
asked congress to put floor
under wages and ceiling" over
working hours. the Institute found
50 per cent of the voters in favor
OF the idea In principle. The previ-
Gus year, 81 per cent favored
minimum wage regulation.
Northerners are for IL:
Southerncrs are for II. So Bre
skilled and unskilled workers
and white-collar employees.
Even majority Of American
employers are In favor of IL,
although under the wage and
hour law many employers will
have TO raise wages. shorten
hours or pay overtime, and
although virtually all employ
crs viii have to compile labor
ious records for the federal
government.
Even more significant. possibly,
is the fact that the great majority
of American workers believe their
employers pay them fair wages
and work them reasonable num-
Der of hours.
The Institute asked: 'Do you
think your employer pays you n
fair wage? Throughout the coun-
try 70 per cent of those inter-
viewed said they thought they
were paid fairly, q per cent
thought they were not paid fairly.
The Institute found even less
discomfort with prevailing hour
standard s than with wages.
Eighty-seven per cent OF the en-
ployes interviewed said they were
not required ito work too many
hours week" Thirteen per cent
said they were.
The most dissatisfied are I'M
skilled workers in the larger cities
and persons doing work of a pro-
fessional nature, such as school
teachers and social workers. En-
ployes in the larger establish
ments (those employing over
1.000) proved more contented with
their wage and hour standards
than those in smaller concerns.
Employers Favor
The greatest support for the
wage law comes from persons IN
the lower income groups and from
unslkilled laborers and persons on
relief. But the survey shows that
majority of employers also favor
tho law at this time. The averages
for employees and employers IN
today's cross-seetion are:
For Against
Employees 49,. 599o 2lSo
Employers =. Sc a.
The present wages and hours
law was the result Of sharp
struggle between New Deal DEM
ocrats and conservatives in con-
gress. Most Republican congress-
men took sides against the bill.
But the survey reveals that APP
proximately half of the Republican
voters throughout the country are
sympathetic to the law-another
example of a New Deal principle
which has come 10 be widely &C

GROUP TALKS
new PROJECT
WPA Grunt Would Nuke
Possible A Community
House Here

A committee of three was ap-
pointed from the directors of
the Big Horn County Chamber
of Commerce at their regular
meeting Monday to investigate
the possibilities of a commun-
ity house here.
The community house would
be on the order of the ones
built at Hysham, Libby and 9TH
er Montana communities.
A federal grant would be
asked for either from the PWA
Or the WPA. If the WPA were
used the labor and material
would come from the govern
ment while a PWA grant would
make it necessary for the city
to furnish sixty per cent of
the labor and material. In the
latter case a bond issue would
be brought before the public.
The community house would
offer a place for both young
and old to enjoy. The house
would be used for a gymnasium,

tertainment.
