Conference Keport ulven.
The following is the Teport of the
conference, on which the Commission
is based:
'1. 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."
The report is submitted by D. Sons
Cohen, chairman; Mrs. Sarah Evans,
R. A. Booth, Thomas Roberts, Emery
