Wages For Women INSURANCE RATES FIXED ( Compensation Bureau Adopts Schedules For the Ensuing Year New, hearings on the question of minimum wages for women and other regulations will be held by the work- men’s compensation bureau, acting as a minimum waee burean, in August according to Philip Elliott, member of the commission. The hearings prob- ably will be held in’ Grand Forks, Fargo and Bismarck. j The ‘holding of new hearings is made necessarv because the courts set aside orders of the bureau for mini- mum wages and other regulations on a number of classes of employes, hold- ing that there was not a full board when the attempted orders were made, The bureau will not appeal the cases brought, by. the ‘state laundrymen’s association and the telephone com- panies, but will hold new hearings and establish new wage minimums and rules, under the present plan. A woman representative of the Un- ited States Department of Labor will come to North Dakota to make in- vestigations before the hearings. x New Rates Out. The compensation bureau has issued its schedule of new rates, effective July 1. Sonie reductions are made. It is said the experience in some classes of industry ..has justified the lowering of rates. In some classes, however, notably the coal mining industry, the experience has not justified a change in rates, but the bureau has taken the position that the past year has been extraordinary in these ‘industries and will not increase rates until. further experience demonstrates the necessity of it. The bureau had a cash balance on hand May. 81 ‘of $809,761.90, of which $775,000 in the hands of the state treasurer was on certificate of deposit in the Bank of North Dakota. The statutory surplus is _ $82,430.64. Bureau meméers say that a liability on awards $253,563.38, $150,000 tu $200,000 of unearned: premiums and $100,000 to $150,000 to pay pending claims are figured as __ liabilities against ‘the cash balance, leaving a surplus estimated at $250,000 to $300,- 000. .

Ee Aviators Come High. The highest premium charged by the bureau is..on aviators, for stunt- flying. The compensation insurance of flying amounts to six times his | salary. No aviator has been insured, All who have flown in North Dakota claiming interest in the company with which they were connected, it is said. The manual of the bureau, contain- ing all regulations for the year 1921- 1922 is now in course of- printing, and will be mailed to employes within a short time. “FORBIDDEN FRUIT” SPLENDID PICTURE Story and Cast of DeMille Masterpiece Excellent Cecil B.

FEATHER SCARF importunity of President M nor general and set up a civil ; v- ‘ ’ WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, NEWLY APPOINTED CHIEF JUSTICE} OF THE U. S. SUPREME COURT. - BY H. B. HUNT. Washington, July 6—When William Howard Tatt dons the silken robes of chief justice on the convening of the Supreme Court next October, he again will have picked up the judicial care, which was hiss life’s ambition, but which he abandoned in 1899 at the inley and Secretary of War Elinu Root. - Taft, educated in the law, viewed as the pinnacle of his hopes a seat on the federal supreme bench. He has risen rapidly, following his graduation from Yale, and was presiding judge of the United Sthtes court for the southern Ohio district when President McKin- ley, followig the report of the Schur- man Commission on the Philippines, wired him to call at the White Housc. That visit was to change Taft's en- tire career; to lift him from the judicial pursuits he loved; throw him into the arena of national politics; make and unmgke him as president, and finally, retu¥R him, under another Ohio president, to the career from which he had been drafted. McKinley told Taft that-he wanted him to go to the Philippines as gover- ernment there. Root joined the presi- dent in: his'plea, and, although~toath ‘The Greatest Shaving Mileage’ > \ AZOR blades should be bought like tires—for the Over nine million men 4 to abandon his work on the bench, Taft consented. ' As he told a friend in after years, he “chose the road to Damascus” and wound up far afield. But the appoint- ment by President Harding places him, finally, at the goal for which he start- ed. i ear and a half in the Phil- ft returned to be Secretary of War under Roosevelt, Roosevelt's control of his party organization put Taft across for the Republican nomi- nation and election as’ president in 1908. Taft, the jurist, has been praised fo tis powers of reasoning and his. unas- sailable logic. But in pr ical politics it appeared that he was devoid of po- litical Judgment. Taft's weakness as president, his close’ friends will tell you, however, was not that he couldn't use the politi- cal moves that would keep him out of trouble, but that he wonldn’t stoop to make them. ‘ They cite the ‘case ‘of the treaty. of reciprocity with Canada, which he sponsored vigorously against ‘the ad- vice of many party leaders. On the <day he signed the bill he Srectad a ‘aller with the snnouncement: “Well, we've now got a treaty of reciprocity with Canada.” ‘mileage” they give. at Chicago; because at Chicago we ‘preserved the Republican party.” ' His insistence on-following his con-' regardless of political effect, it| 8 id in insideRepublican circles, ; ‘probably prevented his receiving the , Republican nomination for president i last year. yeh { |. Had he been willing todeal wiih Re-! | publican senatots “opposed to the| League of Nations, he could have had | the nomination on-a ‘platter, it is stat-! | ed, But he would not. When he ap-! peared on the same platform with| {President Wilson In ‘New York, in sup-| !port of the league, his name was/ stricken from the roster of presiden-; tial eligibles. | Taft's work as a member of the War Labor Board, during the war, did mu | to allay opposition to S supreme | bench appointment on the theory that] he was ultra-conservative.
