MINIMUM WAGE INCREASED
Yhe Oregon Industrial Welfare Com­
mission have adopted the special con­
ference committee’s recommendation
that the present minimum wage for
women be increased about 25 per cent.
But the increase will not become ef­
fective for some 3 months yet. In mer­
cantile establishments the increase is
from $9,2f> to $11.10 per week based on
50 hours work; in manufacturing es­
tablishments from $7,68 to $10.32 for 6
days of 8 hours each, or from $8.65 to
$11.61 for 54 hours per week, and in
offices, etc., from $8.25 per week to $48
per month on a 54 Jiour per week basis.
HOP NOTES
Lane County hop men are plowing up
their hop yards to plant the ground to
something more profitable, such as
grain, corn and garden truck. Our hop
men have been doing the same thing
until there are very few yards near
Dayton where there were a great num­
ber a year or so ago.—Dayton Tribune.
Crisell Brothers & Hong Kee have
contracted 15000 pounds of 1918 hops to
Seavey at 16 cents. Few contracts
have been reported in the Aurora sec­
tion. Many yards are reported coming
through the winter in poor condition—
especially the old yards where many of
the hills have died,
Otto Knorr recently sold 62 bales of
bops at 15 cents; Geo, W. Yergen and
Joe Gee 28 bales at the same price to
Tom Shortell. The Muecke estate
sold 71 bales and Chas. Kraxberger 15
bales to the Wolf Hop Company at the
same price, through Felix Isaacson the
company representative here. These
lots are considered among the best left
in the Aurora section. Offers of 14
cents were received by other grow­
ers but no deals were made.
There has been considerable activity
in the hop market the last two weeks
in both Oregon and California, Ahnost
a thousand bales of the 1917 crop were
sold at 15 cents and fully 1500 bales
signed up on contract for 1918 at 16 and
17 cents. No one seems able to ex­
plain the present activity. The un­
certainty facing the brewing business
is greater than ever, yet there is plain­
ly an increasing feeling of optimism
among both dealers and growers.
