$500 on Wage CHARGES

The Southern Railway Co. was
fined $500 on three charges brought
by the District Minimum Wage and

cision announced yesterday by Judge
Aubrey Fennell in Municipal Court,
In three counts the board charged
the railway company with employing
one woman for seven days a week,
one woman for So hours a week and
one woman for 13 hours a day.
The company was fined $50 each
on the first two counts, which were
under the District hour law and
500 on the third count, under the
minimum wage law.
The decision is important because

pany such as the Southern Railway,
Miss Elizabeth Champe, executive
secretary of the Minimum Wage

The company had been given a
permit to work employees in excess
OF the basic eight-hour day, 48-

essential to the war effort, but the

(Second OF a Series.)

Outstanding feature of the pro-
posed charter for Montgomery
County is the substitution of a nine
man council and a county manager
for the present Board of County

necessity of having laws affecting
the county passed at the biennia

would meet in May of each year.
The council also would have au-
thority to meet in executive ses-
sion at any other time to consider

no bill passed by the council shall
become law until June Is following
the close of legislative session.
Prior to that date, any person
shall have the right to petition the
council or to appear in person be-
fore it to state reasons why any
proposed bill should not become law.
Would Finish Terms.
While the council would super
sede the present Board of County
commissioners, because of consti-
tutional consideration, the COM
missioners would be continued in
office during the transition period,
with their base pay of 1900 a year
each, until the end of the terms

Since the center's campaign to

the renting out of parts of houses,

Mrs. Ellen Harper. manager.
Shared homes and defense hous-

the situation from being much
worse. Persons who cannot be

meantime, Mrs. Harper says.
She said the demand for apart

This she believes is because the long

has borne fruit, bringing in school

What is now available, with the pos
