BUILDING IS LEASED
BY COMMISSIONERS
FOR T.B. HOSPITAL

The board of Butler County commits
sioners reached a tentative agree
ment this week with the Sisters of
Mercy to lease piece of property at
the corner of Front and Dayton
Streets, Hamilton, owned by Mercy
Hospital, to set up a temporary tu-
berculosis hospital for 1912. This tu-
berculosis hospital will be stated and
supervised for the commissioners by
the Sisters of Mercy but will not be
connected with Mercy Hospital, as it
will be operated as a wholly separate
unit
The need for a tuberculosis hospital
in Butler County has steadily been
growing more acute. The Butler
County commissioners have been
spending approximately $4,000 year
to keep an average of twenty-five pa
tients in out-of-county sanatoria. Now,
in the middle of July, only $1,000 is
left for the care of the tuberculous for
Cne remainder OF 1871.
Plans are to again put before the
public in the fell a tax levy for tuber-
culosis care for one-fourth of a mill
to raise about $500 to cover the ex-
penses of this temporary tuberculosis
hospital. Having a tuberculosis hos
pital here in the county makes it pos
sible to have only a 500 majority
vote for successful passage of this
levy. 1t will be remembered that in
the last election, the tax levy for tu-
berculosis care received a 573o vote,
but failed to pass because $3.50 ma
jority vote was necessary.
This new tuberculosis hospital will
not be opened until 1912 and will prob
ably continue operation until the
Hughes Memorial Hospital is set up.
Thus the tuberculous patients of
Butler County will now be able to get
the necessary care for cure right here
in the county. It is indeed big step
| forward toward the control and ulti-
mate eradication of tuberculosis in
Butler County.

Washington, D. c. 0LNS).-About
tries have benefited through industry
wage orders, Gen. Philip B. Fleming,
administrator of the Wage and Hour
Division, U. S. Department of Labor,
announced here. By the end of July,
the number receiving wage increases
will be more than 100000, he said.
"It is mistake to think of the Fair
Labor Standards Act as just a 30
cents-an- hour law" Gen. Fleming COM
mented in making public mid-year fig
ures on industries operating under
wage orders. "The 30-cents- hour
minimum wage for all those engaged
in interstate commerce or in the pro-
duction of goods for interstate COM
merce, which went into effect on Oc-
tober "a, 1889, increased the wage
rate of about 610,O00 workers.
Industrial wage orders establish
ing minimum wage rates above 80
cents an hour up to 40 cents an hour
have increased the wages of about
100000 workers. Forty cents an hour
becomes the universal minimum on
October "a, 1945."
Wage Orders Upheld
The largest groups raised by wage
orders recommended by committees
equally representative of the employ
ers, the employees, and the public, are
100000 textile workers, 10000 gar
ment workers, $4,000 railroad work
ers, and 10000 shoe workers.
The procedure by which these wage
orders have been issued was upheld
by the Supreme Court in the Opp
Cotton Mills case, and more recently
and in more detail by the United
States Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict of Columbia in the Southern
Garment Manufacturers case.
The textile wage order requiring
payment of at least 37h cents an hour
to all employees in the textile industry
is the second issued for that industry
The industry operated for more than
a year on a wage order requiring pay
ment of 321a cents an hour.
Higher Minimums Asked
Increases in the minimum wage tc
cents an hour have been recon-
mended by industry committees fol
the manufacture of those garments
not already at the Accent rate under
the apparel wage order, which went
into effect July Is, 1910. A rate Of
40 cents an hour has also been rec
commended for the knitted underwear
industry.
A recommendation of 36 cents ar
hour for the manufacture of seamless
hosiery, an industry now operating
on 321a cent wage order, is alst
pending.
/ Data on industries now under wage
orders shows the total number Of
workers affected is 10000. The tota

Gas Lighi Co.
Bases Pay Hike
On Living Costs
Sliding Scale Plan
To Use Index Of
Labor Department

The Washington Gas Light Co.
has announced a defense emer-
gency compensation" plan under
which employees earning less than
$500 a month will receive an extra
payment each month based on the
rise in the cost of living.
Under this plan, the employees will
be given each month q payment
representing percentage of their
salary equal to the percentage in
crease in the cost of living.
The plan is based on figures Of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics Of
the Labor Department and was
negotiated by the company and the
District Gas Workers Union, an In
dependent union.
Means 3 Per Cent Increase.
A study of Labor Department sta
tistics on the cost of living in Wash
ington from 1885 to 1910 showed
that the normal Of costs here was
represented by the index figure 100.
AS of June Is, the cost Of living
in Washington had risen to 103.
Under the defense emergency COM
pensation" plan, employees OF the
gas company will receive an extra
8 per cent of their salary for the
months of July, August and Sep
tember.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
will publish in October its figures
on the cost of living as Of Septem-
ber Is. If that study reveals that
living costs have gone up over the
103 figure, the extra compensation
will be increased.
10 Per Cent Ceiling.
The emergency compensation will
not be added to the employees reg
ular salary checks, but will be paid
separately. When living costs re-
turn to 100, the payments will stop.
The Labor Department statistics
are available every three months
and the amount Of the extra CON-
pensation will be changed to meet
these quarterly reports.
The company has agreed to meet
the rising cost of living up to 10
per cent of the basic pay OF the
employees affected. If the index rises
above ITO, the employees will re-
ceive this maximum.

Death Verdicts
Returned in Two
Attack Cases
Government Wins
Quick Convictions
In Both Cases

Two men today faced the death
penalty after the Government moved
rapidly yesterday to convict them of
criminally assaulting two young
girls.
Guilty verdicts, with recommended
tions for the extreme penalty, were
returned by District Court juries
against william Isaac Robinson, "a,
and Bernard Lee williams, 81, both
colored. The Robinson jury delib-
Grated S. minutes and the Williams
jury an hour. Both men took the
verdicts calmly.
Robinson was convicted on two
counts of carnally knowing the Is
year-old daughter of a Government
official near Rock Greek Ford drive
and Sixteenth street NV. on August
6. The jury, according to instruc-
ton by Justice Daniel W. ODono-
ghue after agreement of counsel, did
not deliberate on two counts Of
rape contained in the indictment.
and returned directed verdicts of
not guilty in these.
New Trials to Be Asked.
Williams was convicted of crimi-
nally asaulting 17-year-old colored
girl at Fifty-third and Fitch streets
Sc, August g. He also was con-
victed of assault with a dangerous
weapon on the girl and her COM
panion, the Government charging
he struck them with brick. As
sistant United States Attorney Allen
J. Krouse prosecuted the case.
Defense attorneys in both cases
announced that within three days
they would file motions for new
trials. If these are overruled, the
two men probably will be sentenced
Friday.
The Robinson trial was carried out
swiftly. When the case opened yes
terday morning, it was freely pre-
dicted that three or four days would
| be consumed in hearing testimony.

New Campaign For
Highway Safety
Drive Aimed At Motorists
And Pedestrians Alike,
Commission Points Out

A new campaign against a SER
ious obstacle to the national de-
tense program-"off the job" ac-
cidents-now appears on the high
ways of Maryland under the direc-
ton of the Maryland Traffic Safety
Commission. A key effort in the
drive is dramatic 24-sheet poster
which is displayed throughout the
State on outdoor billboards.
Under the heading "This Must
Stop = Don't Kill Our Workers. ~
the poster depicts policeman
holding an injured worker with one
arm, while raising clenched fist in
anger.
Pointing out that the poster is a
plea not only for safe driving, but
also for equal care among pedes-
TRANS who made up almost 40 per
cent of the fatalities in motor We
hicle accidents in 1910. A spokes-
man for the Traffic Safety Com
mission said: eve are directing
our safety campaign this year to
pedestrians as we'll as motorists,
both Of whom are equally charged
with observing safe practices in
the use of the highways. This is
more important this year than ever
before. Many skilled workers en-
gagged in defense production are
being killed in motor vehicle acct
dents after leaving their factories.
Among victims of these accidents
are die and tool workers, drafts
