Nevada war conference to set farm wage scale
Reno hosts a two day statewide war conference starting May 16 with 600 to 800 attendees including ranchers and industry reps. A key item is proposing a standard wage scale for farm laborers at 3.00 dollars for hay field workers and 3.75 dollars for stackers, plus a nine and a half hour day. The event features eleven sectional meetings and two open sessions with National Council of Defense speakers, and counties prepare to discuss various war work topics. Hotels pledge wheatless operations as communities conserve food for the Allied war effort.
