Average Woman EmpIoye Working AS Hours Weekly for Annual Income of $625-Workers Paid as Low
 as S4a Week, Labor Commissioner Tone Says

the state. Of ev reyseven beauticians investigated, one was unable to make Sl0 weekly; two received from $iO to $l4; three earned from $l4 to SIS: and the others made SIS or more.
 "At the other extreme" the re- port states, certain girls were found who were making $4 to $6 for Q full- time week."
 The wages of two-thirds of the women employed in beauty shops are less than the minimum neces- sary for health and self respect the report continues.
 The average woman in the indus try, the survey shows, works AZ hours @ week. Sixty per cent of the women included in the study were on schedule of exactly 48 hours, and less than five per cent were found to be on Q schedule shorter than 70 hours. Late appointments often keep employees long after the regular working day.
 Se25 Annually
 Also indicated in the report is the fact tha tthe average annual wage earned by female beauty shop employees was $625 during 1888. This amount was paid for an average 43 weeks worked during the year.
 As was the case before the set- ting of the minimum wage for laundries and dry cleaning estab- lishments, numerous complaints that wages are inadequate have come to the labor department, Tone said.
 Five beauty shop organizations, composed of both employers and employees, have asked for a minimum wage.
 Another reason the state mus proceed in the matter, he explained, Is that beauty shops are omitted from the scope of the national wages and hours law.
 The board for the industry will hold its first meeting In the near future and will recommend c mini- mum wage to the labor commis- sioner within two months, following whic hthere will be e public hear- ing on the recommendations. If the commissioner considers them advisable and beneficial to the in. dustry and to the employees therein, he will issue an order to all beauty shops in Connecticut to obey the recommendation
 Ordered to Pay
 To date, '1ree industries in the state have been ordered to pay women and minors not less than the minimum wage.
 Workers in mems pants establish- ments must receive at least 3b rents m hour, those in laundries ct least 90 cents and those nj dry cleaning establishment, with certain exeep- tons, ct least 35 cents.
