SHOP BOSS BOUND OVEB COURT HOLDS FOREMAN FOR AL LEGED WAGE VIOLATION. State Minimum Scale Law Upheld by Judge Bell In Case of Edna Wise, Machine Girl. Just how long may a worker be kept at apprentice wages? One year, says the state law. Edna Wise had worked on a power machine in the manufacture of overalls for Neustadter Brothers for over a year and a half. Then she went to the factory of the Hirsch-Weia Company, manufacturers of overalls, tents and awnings. She was given apprentice wages of $7 a week, because the power machine.' on which she worked at the latter con cern, differed somewhat from the one to which she had been accustomed. District Judge Bell held yesterday that the difference in machines was not sufficient to allow her still to be paid as an apprentice, ruling that by virtue of her former employment, she was an experienced operator. The judge bound John G. Terry, fore man of tn Hirsch-Weis plant over the the Grand Jury for violation of the minimum wage law, which puts the wage at $8.65 a week. Deputy District Attorney Mowry con ducted the prosecution and Attorney B. E. Haney, represented the defense. The maximum, penalty for the offense is a fine of SldO and three months in jail.
