After some discussion of routine
mutters, which consumed consider
able time, the county labor commit
tee under the leadership of Ed Reit
matin reported that he had bad com

to the fact that the laborer there was
demanding about (75 per month for
spring work on ranches. After con
siderable discussion by the various
representatives of the labor commit

this wage was very agreeable to the
farmers as nearly as could be arrived
at. It was therefore unanimously

month where the man and wife both
worked, and the woman hasn't more
than four or five men to cook for,

that during harvest season that all
laborers should receive the same

matter was concurred In by most of
the delegates present but was laid
on the table for further consideration
at some future meeting where the
harvest wages will be considered.
