We deem that the sum re quired per week to maintain a self supporting woman in frugal but de cent conditions of living as an abso lute minimum is $8.25. '2. The maximum hours of work which are consistent with the health and efficiency of women employes should not exceed fifty-four (54) hours a week. '3. The conference suggests that the maximum time of employment be fore an inexperienced woman worker should be entitled to receive the mini mum wage should not exceed one year and further suggests that in making the recommendation the conference doea not mean to indicate that an in exxperienced woman should necessar ily work one year before . receiving the minimum wage, but should be put upon the list of experienced workers . just as soon as ber efficiency becomes apparent; for such inexperienced workers the conference recommends a minimum wage of $6 a week. "4. The conference does not be lieve that night work is consistent with the health and efficiency of fe male employes, but in view of the present industrial conditions through out the state of Pregon it recom mends the hour of eight-thirty (8.30) o'clock p. m. as the latest hour at which women should be employed in mercantile, manufacturing and laun dry industries, but that this hour of dismissal should not apply to tele phone and telegraph companies, eori fectionery establishments, restaur ants and hotels."
