a MEMBER OF LEAGUE OF Bervice of the United Entered at the poxtoftios, Seatt clase matt Published by Th Company every evening except Sunday THE STAR—WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1914 The Minimum Wage Law “Joker” HEN the minimum wage bill was passed in the last slature, it was openly charged by Thomas F. Mur progressive leader that it was full And the progressives voted for it only because it ph in the house, of ‘jokers.’ Was the best measure obtainable under the republican-demo- cratic standpat alliance in the house The law IS full of “jokers.” It has an apprentice clause which may be construed by appointed by Governor the minimum commission, Lister, so as to nullify the good that an honest minimum wage wage law should seck to accomplish Employers all over the state have been urging the com to give the apprenticeship clause the widest scope, mission go as to include apprentices not only in the trades and fac tory work, but to create fictitious apprenticeships in depart- ment stores and laundries. Apprentices, you understand, may receive less than the minimum wage prescribed. It needs no keen imagination to see the majority of the working girls in the state laboring as “apprentices” if the | wide scope of its application is approved by the welfare board It may be a significant fact that Dr. Teresa McMahon ef the U. rsity ot Washington, a former member of the Minimum wage commission, who was firmly set against any misapplication of the apprenticeship clause, and Stuart Rice, former secretary of the weltare commission, who coincided with her views, have both been retired. It may not heave any signifjgance, on the other hand Let us hope that it has not. Let us hope that the present minimum wage commission will not allow itself to be domi- nated by the “joker” in the law. GUESS DETROIT has reached the limit. Her police permitted a theatrical show in which two women appeared with nothing on them save the calcium lights. Wealth Which Blights — SMITH, “Lord Strathcona,” builder of Canada, a man whose wealth and honors were won by use- wa ¥ | ful work; who used his power in the main for human wel- fare; and whose death causes much genuine regret As a young man he battled with privation in the wilder- ness, showing heroic courage; in middle life he guided with skill the Hudson Bay Co., the world’s most wonderful cor- poration; in later years .he used great wealth to endow edu- éation and provide for future youth advantages which his own youth lacked. He was a striking type of iron-willed individualist pioneering a nation’s way. He got much out of life, but he gave much, His career is an epic and with his death an epoch also died. We don't begrudge these giant builders their honors ot their pay. Their wealth is earned. It is unearned wealth which blights. HOUSEWIVES DO not know the value of euet, says depart ment of agriculture. Sure, they always have, but the market man Is just getting wise and is charging real money for it, instead of throwing in a piece.
