splendid enthusiasm shown at both

to clear their policies of anything ;

Mr. Wilson took a whack at the
Progressive platform, and said that
he was personally against the mini
mum wage scale provided for in the
Roosevelt declaration of political ;
principles He said that the mini- j
nmm wage scale would be used by
t he employers as an argument for
holding domn wages to the point
fixed by law He did not believe
that the workers could be bene'it
f?d hv any snch means, but that the
big concerns, and even the govern
ment would have the laborers at
their merry by applying the wage
law. In case the workers found It

is the Rhodes company property
which has a small stamp mill and
Is taking out a thousand dollars
