District onferences oyJr olm protest ed a law to' establish a wage and hour for women and minors, and the In dustrial commission has been em powered Q,nly to fix the amounts of wages and hours.

The state public affairs committee will endeavor to get these results all together and if harm has been done, be armed and prepared to go before the next session of the state legislature and fight it out with facts to get this law changed. pixie were 'I lay, Sept.
