"Hive we a minimum wage law in Nebraska?" was recently asked the woman's department of Tha Bee. There is a minimum law on the statute books of this state, but it does not call for a specific minimum ' , sum to be paid women workers. Rather, it provides for a commission which fixes the minimum wage upon the recommendation of advisory wage boards made up of employers, employes and the public The only power of enforcement lies in the right of the commission to publish the names of those employers paying less tnan tne minimum rate. The Nebraska minimum wage commis sion consists of four members "the governor, deputy commissioner of labor, a professor of. political eqon- omy in the state university and. one other citizen of the state." The law specifies that one of these' members must be a woman. ! It is interesting to know wciat other states are doing.

In ordering this rate the minimum , wage board will break its own record, made recently when it set $15.50 as the minimum for women in printing and publish ing industry. California recently established a minimum of $13.50 a week for women in fruit and" vege table canneries and in the laundries, and Washington fixed $13.20 as the minimum for women in all occupa tions during the period of the war. In Oregon $48 is the minimum for office workers, while the rate for stores is $11.10, and that for factories laundries, telephone and telegraph work and "personal service" is. $11.61. The District of Columbia wage board, in the budget on which its award for the printing industry was based, calculated that $9 a week was necessary for board and room alone, for they woman worker. The other states which have been active in making minimum wage awards expect that $9, andU frequently a smaller amount, will cover a woman's entire living expenses. In Kansas the legal minimum wage for stores, laundries is $8.50, and for factories $11. Minnesota sets differ ent minimum rates according to the size of the community. It has fixqd $9, $8.50 and $8 for first class cities and smaller places, respectively, for mercantile and office work, and 25 cents Jess for factories, hotels, etc. In Massachusetts the rates are $9 weekly in the clothing industry, $10 in millinery, $8.50 in stores and $8 in laundries. All these rates, except that in the state of Washington, apply only to experienced workers. "Learners" and inexperienced workers get a dollar or two less a week . P. E. O. Sisterhood.
