Disqruceful Minimum Wages

Minimum wage scales paid to women and minors IN the
Ohio hotel and restaurant industry are ouotdate ana
archaic
This statement was made by Albert A. Wodman, State
Industrial Relations Director he announced his intention
of appointing board to study revision OF present regu
ations governing employment in hotels and restaurants
Director Woldman declared "this problem has been
kicked for at least decade; many pronouncementS
have made and lip service given and eventually nothing
done
Organized labor will watch with great interest any
moves by Director WOdman to raise MINIMUM wages ior
women and minors in hotels and restaurants The legal min

for cafeteria workers. kitchen help and others not hkey TO
receive tips the legal minimum for 48hour week is 5000
for chambermads without meals for 48hour week, the
legal minimum is 1880
These misery minimum wage rates are a disgrace TO
the State Ohio and bold steps should be taken to bring
them up to realistic standards Organized Labor and liberal
organizations have repeatedly pointed out the need for
drastic revsons but all pleas have fallen deaf Pre-
vous studies have been made and recommendations for
higher wages resulted but as Director Wodman points out
"nothng done"
Let's see some action. It's long long overdue

takes responsibility for workers which unions
formerly bore aonethat of advising workers Of their rights
and obligations under various laws.
In line with this responsibility the Department of Labor
has just issued revised guide to federal labor laws and
agencies This publication describes in simple nontechncal
terms the purpose and meaning Of the aw-how workers
their rights fulfill their obligations and promote
their welfare under laws in effect take action against those
failing to give them their rights.
This bulletin should be in the hands not only of all union
officers but of all union members who want to know that
their interests cared for All members of unions like all
citizens Of democracy must be informed conditions and
policies in order to Judge the services of representatives
chosen to look after their interests.
The Division of Labor Standards performs a very basic
purpose keeping this publication available to aid labor law
administration Such service also helps to protect the ad
mnstratVe agencies from falling into bureaucratic
and shortcomings Governmental agencies being human in
stitutions apt to rely on their limited experience
less checked by the experiences of others operating the
same fields.
When government assumes administrative responsible
