The commission warned that repeated mining and distribution crises would be intolerable and emphasized the need to prevent another coal strike in April.

Senator Burke of Elyria will introduce in the senate a minimum wage law for women. The measure, supported by the Ohio Council of Women in Industry and other groups, would affect about 100,000 women earning less than 15 dollars weekly. It calls for a three member commission to set wages, trade boards for low wage industries, special rules for minors, and penalties for violations.
