The Boarding House Evil HHE STAR recently urged the rent garbage contract with the Carter Contracting Co. This company, The Star had been advised, was one that had been violating the minimum wage law by the boarding} _ camp ruse E Now comes Presiden Carter, of the company, with | ‘am explanation that his men are housed comfortably, not in a camp, but in a house, and fed and lodged for $5 a week. Carter disclaims any intent of evading payment of the $2.75 Tegal wage. In fact, he says he pays this same wage to his employes not used on city work. Therefore The Star willingly takes back what it said about HIM. But The Star agrees with the city officials who say contractors and boarding houses must be divorced absolutely before the contractors are given more city work. Some employers, perhaps, will not abuse the privilege But a majority of them do. So the boarding house evil must go, even if it is going to work a hardship on the good employers, such as Carter : tells The Star he is.
