THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1936 DRDER AFFECTING | war vise Biomarex [BROWN VIGOROUSLY ‘WAGES OF MINORS SPURS QUESTIONS Experienced Youths Entitled to Minimum Pay for Experi- enced Adults A minimum wage order for minors, released from the office of the depart- ment of agriculture and labor, is drawing employer's queries from vir- tually every section of the state, Mrs. ¥, Dupuis, minimum wage department secretary, said Wednesday. The new order is “specifically for minors,” the secretary said. Previous- ly, child labor in North Dakota was controlled under the minimum wage law, she pointed out. The wage order, governing minors in all occupations, forbids employers: to pay a lower wage to an experi- enced minor in any occupation than the minimum wage for experienced workers. Employers who hire minor apprentices must not pay a wage lower than the apprenticeship wage in such occupation, Mrs. Dupuis stated. | Children under 14 years of age are forbidden employment and persons under 16 years are not permitted to work in any, occupation, except do- mestic service and farm labor, more than six 8-hour days weekly. The order further stated that minors, not engaged on farms or in domestic ser- vices, must not be permitted to work before the hour of 7 a. m., nor after Tp. m Sanitary Tegarding wash rooms, lavatories, rest rooms and ventilation must be interpreted for minors the same as in adult orders, the department secretary said. The minor wage order carries sev- eral penalty clauses for violating em- Pployers, Mrs, DuPuis stated.

Frazier, chief coun- sel for the state PWA program, an- nounced Wednesday. ; Frazier further announced that al- locations on 35 other state PWA pro- fects, approved by the examining board at Washington are expected soon. He pointed out that allocation of monies may not be made on all of the projects in this division. These projects will cost approximately $2,- 372,000. Only three projects, for which al- lotments have been made, are not un- der construction, Frazier said. They are light plants at Devils Lake and Grand Forks and an irrigation pro- lect in McHenry county. The largest PWA project now un- der construction in the ‘state is at Devils Lake where a three-story . ‘chool building, equipped with a gym- | aasium and stage facilities, is being srected, the state office reported. The cost of the project is approximately $323,555. The PWA office reported that ap- proximately 50 per cent of the spon- sors seeking federal funds for pro- jects had changed their requests, ask- \ng only grants. They will seek pri- vate interests for loans to complete financial requirements, it was pointed "Phas r stated that preference was being given on projects which seek only grants through the works pro- gress administration.

Morning Rasta’ to Go CARVETH WELLS 10 VISIT CITY FRIDAY Radio Favorite and World Trav- eler Gathering Material for New Series on Air Carveth Wells, radio favorite, world traveler, explorer and author, and Joe H. Thompson, director of the Conoco Travel Bureau, Denver, will visit Bismarck Friday, July 24, and will speak from radio station KFYR at 9:30 a. m. (CST). Accompanying the explorer and travel expert through North Dakota are W. F. Hird, division manager, W. R. Smiley, assistant division manager and D. B. Sutherland, jobbing sales- man, all of the Continental Oil Com- Pany. While on this trip, Wells is gather- ing material for a new coast-to-coast series of radio broadcasts, “Exploring America with Carveth Wells,” which will start Sunday, Sept. 27. Thomp- son is making a survey of motor travel Conditions. As head of the Travel Bu- reau, Thompson is an authority on National parks and scenic America and during the past four years he has directed the compilation of more than a million- individually planned motor vacation trips. , Wells is well known to many here because of his radio travel broadcasts of the last several years, and because he has studied the globe from the air, on the surface, beneath the sea, and in the caverns under the ground—in the Arctic, desert and jungle—and tells of these expeditions in an interesting fashion. Wells is among the most famous of modern radio entertainers. Each time he returns from an expedi- tion, no matter whether from the Malay Jungle, Lapland, Africa, or even Bermuda, the stories of his ex- periences create a sensation. His last expedition took him to Panama and Mexico, a trip which he made by autmobile trailer, except for those jaunts by airplane or on foot to explore the remote reaches of the jungle. As the guest of the governor of the Canal zone, Wells was given special facilities to study the jungle of Panama and its strange animals. The United States Navy flew the explorer to the San Blas Archipelago, where he landed and visited the little-known San Bilas Indians. In Mexico, Wells climbed the famous volcano Popoca- tepetl, and then travejed to Texas over the new Pan American highway. ‘When Wells returns to the air Sun- day, Sept. 27, in his new radio series, “Exploring America with Carveth Governor Talmadge Charges Intimidation Moultrie, Ga., July 22.—()—Gov. Eugene Talmadge charged Wednesday federal agents were attempting to in- timidate supporters of his candidacy for the United States senate through veloping into a racket.” The governor, long an opponent of the New Deal, seeks the seat held by Senator Richard B.

Officials said they were almost ready to approve an application from the Montana Flatheads for credit which would be ‘placed at the dis- posal of the tribal cooperative, the first to be approved under the requested $65,000. With detailed routine of submitting constitutions and charters to the na- well under way, the bureau announced 46 tribes with a population of 62,852 within the last month, had been ac- cepted by Ickes, MASONS WILL MEET ON MASONIC ISLAND after he made an investigation.| RAM and RSM to Convene Fri- Brown’s statement contradicted tes- timony of Dahil. ‘Just Made $35,000" Byron Bolton, chief government witness, had related on the stand that| $25,000 was “‘set aside” for Brown and $10,000 for Peifer, while Mrs. Gladys Sawyer, now of Omaha, Neb., testi- fied she overheard Peifer tell her hus- band “Tom Brown and I just made) $35,000.” The woman’s husband, Harry Sawyer, now is serving a life term in Alcatraz prison in connection with the $200,000 kidnaping of Edward G. Bremer, St. Paul banker. Contradicting testimony of Bolton, Brown, a.member of the St. Paul Police force 22 years also denied he was introduced to Fred Goetz, alias George (Shotgun) Ziegler, reputed “brains” of the kidnap gang, who was slain after the Bremer kidnaping. Brown admitted, however, he knew Peifer, the defendant. Testify Preceding him on the stand were two newspapermen, Fred Strong, city editor of the Daily News, and Jack McKay of the Northwest News bu- reau, who related that word of the kidnaping was withheld at the re- quest of police and members of the) Hamm family until two days after the brewer was seized. ‘The government contends the house| Harry Woods, grand master of the at 204 Vernon avenue was used as a hideout by members of the kidnap gang. Brown also denied, in response to questions from Peifer's counsel, that he disclosed information about Plans to deliver the ransom. Charles Tierney, now inspector of detectives, had testified earlier that an apparent leak, after police planned to deliver the money in a car carry- ing an armed officer, led to demands from the kidnapers for a delivery car that would have no place to conceal an extra passenger.
