Seport stlrned by AIL "
The report, as prepared by the chair
man, was signed by all the members
of the conference committee, including
W. B. Ayer, chairman; Mrs. Elmer B.
Colwell, secretary; Charles McOonlgle,
A. T. Huggins, Everett Ames, J. W. Vo
gan, Mrs. Oee, Ulna A. Kallmann Miss
A. Bolda. It reads In full as follows;
"in establishing a minimum wage for
women workers in factories, considera
tion should be given to the character of
the occupation, and to the permanence
of the employment; consequently each
Industry should be considered by Itself.
It is apparent, however, that there -must
be a minimum below which it is unwise
for: society as a whole to permit its
workers to be employed,
a "In the establishment of such a min
imum, general In its application, consid
eration must also be given to industry
as it exists, and care must be taken that
injustice is not Inflicted in an effort to
remedy abuses that have long existed.
. .. Becemneadattons.
With a full realization of the Import
ance and far-reaching Influence or our
decision, we reoommend: -
"First That ths daily hours of work
be limited to nine hours a day or 64
hours a week.
"Second A standard minimum - of
H.4 a 'Week in manufacturing estab
lishments of Portland, any lesser
amount being Inadequate to eupply the
necessary cost of living to women work
ers and to maintain them In health.
"Third That the length of the lunch
period be not lest than three-quarters
of an hour.
; "Fourth That the Welfare commls-l
alon eall a conference composed of the
S embers of the State -Board of Health
determine and recommend the- pro
visions that are necessary to cover the
sanitary arrangements and health con.
di lions of all establishments employing
women woricere tnrougnout tne atate as
a whole. This because such provisions
should be considered by experts and not
by laymen, and because the necessity of
such regulation is as great- in one occu
pation as another, and in every section
of the state as In the city of Portland.
"Fifth We further recommend that
In factories operating under the piece
work system, either in whole or In part,
that the basis of piece work payment
shall be determined by requiring that
the average wage received by all . piece
workers shall not be less than the min
imum recommended above, and that
more than three-quarters of the num
ber of such piece workers shall receive
not less than said minimum.
- Appreatiee Wages.
"Ths above recommendations are In
tended to apply to the 'regular women
workers' and do not cover the mini,
mum wages for learners and appren
tices.' Conditions of occupation and
the time required to become proficient
are so -varied la different Indurtrtes
that-we recommend that .the commls
sion Its1 elf gather Information covering
all occupations and submit 'all such In
formation and evidence' te a conferenoe
created for - to purpose of considering
same. Satisfied that such course la the
only satisfactory method of arriving at
an equitable settlement of the period for
learners and pprerrt)cee ws maks no
specif lo recommendation covering indue,
tries assigned- to us for consideration,
but do recommend that -the minimum
wage for suoh learners and appren
tices in manufacturing estaDiisnmenta
f Portland bs fixed at $1 per day.
"Under the law the question of wages
for minora Is left to the Judgment of
the commission without the intervention
of a conference. We have, therefore,
Sot considered that phase or the In.
ustry.' . .
