 public hearing has been held on the recommendations.
 The hearing will take place, he said, at 2 p. m. Monday, May 22 in the state capitol and will be open to all persons, employers, employees and members of the public, who , wish to expess an opinion either for or against the recommendations.
 Weekly Wages
 The unanimous report of the board urged the adoption of minimum weekly wage of $14.50 for one-year licensed operators, $1550 for two- yeir operators and clerks and $500 for three-year operators. Overtime wock, defined as work in excess of 46 hours per week, is to be paid at the rate of 60 cents an hour to three year operators, and 50 cents an hour to others.
 According to the report if any op- orator or cleircal worker is hired fos: less than four days l)er week, she must be paid $4.00 pc day and must be paid for at least two days. Maids and cleansers aro to be paid 40 cents an hour up to $500 and a 48 hour week and 45 cents per hour for overtime after 48 hours.
 Continuing, it points out that the state minimum wage act, passed in 1893, requires that minimum rates set in accordance with its provisions shall represent fair return for en- plcye services and an amount sufh- cient tosmeet living expenses. En- ploye services are particularly val uable in this occupation, the report maintains, because each operator must have had years trade school ing costing from $200 to $400 for tuition lone.
 The report further reveals that the Connecticut Consumers league submitted evidence indicating that the minimum cost of living for the average working girl in this state is $17.99 weekly. At present the aver age beauty shop wage is $17.74 for three-year operators and $12.53 for one and two-year operators, accord ing to the labor department survey, with extremely low wages, some times no more than $500 a week, be- ing discovered in certain salons.
 Expressing its regret that it cannot set $17.99 minimum weekly rate,

 The liver should pour out two pounds of tiquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile isnot flowing freely. your food doesn t. digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You get constipated. Your whole system is poisoned and you feel souri, sunk and the world looks punk.
 A mere bowel movement doesn't get ae the cause. It takes those good. old Carter's Little Liver Pills to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel ''up and up."

COAL PRICES
FOR AREAS

Proposed mine prices for all
sizes of bituminouS coal sup
piled consumers in four prin-
cipal Montana markets are
generally unchanged as COM
pared with price schedules es-
Jablished in 1887 by the Nation
al Bituminous Coal Commission
and which were revoked in
February 1888.
John Carson, consumers
council of the Coal commission
emphasizes that the commission
is empowered only to establish
prices at the mine. The federal
regulatory power does not ex-
tend to the price consumers
purchasing through retailers or
other middlemen will have to
pay for their coal. The mine
price, he points out however,
when added to the freight rate
for the coal from the mine to
the consuming market, will give
consumers an indication what
they should pay for their bit
luminous coal, when purchased
at retail.
Consumers council is a fed
eral agency, independent of the
Coal commission, established by
the Bituminous Coal Act of
1887. The office is charged with
the responsibility of protecting
the interest of bituminouS coal
consumers in the federal regu-
latiOn of the industry.
A final hearing on proposed
coordinated prices for Mon
tana and other western produc-
ing areas will be held beginning
on May 10 in Denver. Consum-
ers' council is arranging to con-
duct a consumers conference in
Denver on May 10 at which
time both industrial and do
mestic consumers will have an
opportunity to discuss with him
the price proposals made by
producers. The prices finally es-
tablished by the commission are
aimed to bring a realization to
producers as near as possible
to the weighted average cost of
production in the area.
On coal shipped from the
Red Lodge sub-distr!ct of Mon
tana to Billings, the proposals
are for big lump, new S ,25 per
ton which is the same as the
rrevious schedule; egg, new
$2.75, old same: nut, new 5000.
