Vice Commission Increases!
Wages.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 23.—As the 1
result of the work of the Vice
Commission and the newly or
ganized labor bureau, the laun
dry workers of Little Rock are
to receive a total of about $1,
000 a month more in wages, be
ginning with June 1.
The Vice Commission was di
rected among other things, to |
make an investigation of the;
question of wages paid woman i
workers in the city, and their re
port of the minimum wage and
the employment conditions in
the laundries and elsewhere,
was filed with the Labor Bureau.
As the result of friendly medi
tion on the part of the Bureau '
an agreement has been reached, |
voluntarily on the part of the
laundry proprietors, increasing
the minimum wage from 84 to ■
$6 per week, and reducing the j
time of work from 10 hours a j
day and 60 hours a week to 9 ,
hours a day, and 54 hours a'
week. It is estimated that this i
will mean an increase of about!
$1,000 a month and about 80
days less work per month.
All six laundries: Frank’s,
the People’s, Little Rock Hand
Laundry and the Argenta laun
dry agree to these changes, as
does the Karcher Candy Com
pany. It will effect nearly 400
employes in the city. All the
employers entered heartily into
the spirit of the changes re
quested by the Bureau, and will
co-operate in the work of in
creasing the efficiency of sani
tation and ventilation in the
various places where women are
employed.

Murphy “Bull Moose” Candidate
Little Rock. May 23.—The
leaders of Roosevelt’s Progress
ive party in Arkansas, after 1
frequent conferences, decided I
yesterday to nominate a “Bull i
Moose candidate for governor
to oppose the Democratic nomi- <
nee at the special election to he
held on July 23. J. A. Comer,
chair m(an of the Progressive
State Central Committee, yes
terday i ss ued a call for a meet
ing' of the committee. Saturday, j
May 31, in Little Rock, to fix a ■'
date on which to hold a state 1
convention and name a candi
date for governor.
“It is the desire of Colonel ‘
Roosevelt that a candidate for
governor he nominated in Ark-1
ansas by the Progressive par
ty. said Mr. Comer yesterday,
“In a recent letter 1 received
from Colonel Roosevelt, he stat
ed that if the party nominated
a candidate for governor in Ar
kansas he would come here and
make several speeches in his be-!
half. There is not the slightest
doubt but that a candidate will
be nominated. It is almost as
certain that Col. Geo. W. Mur
phy. former attorney general of
this state, will be the nominee.
Colonel Murphy already has
said he will accept the nomina
tion if it comes to him without
a contest. He will make a vig
orous campaign'of the state and
tell the people why he is a “Bull
Moose.”
Mr. Comer also said that Al
bert J. Beveridge, former Unit
ed States senator from Indiana,
would make several speeches in
Arkansas in behalf of Colonel
Murphy’s ^andidacy.
“Better than that,” said Mr.
Comer, “we shall invite Gov. Hi
ram W. Johnson of California to
make an address in Little Rock,
and we believe he will accept the
invitation. Another distin
guished member of the Porgres
sive party, Miss Jane Adams of
Chicago, one of the members of
the executive committee of the
national organization, is ex
pected to assist at the inaugura
tion of our campaign for gov
ernor. Miss Adams will be in
vited by Mrs. Jean Reutlinger of
2005 Spring street, who will en
tertain the visitor during her
stay in Little Rock.”
Depot and Contents Burn.
Yellville, Ark., May 21.—The
depot at this place was struck
by lightning during the storm
Saturday night and was burned
to the ground. Nearly all of the
freight and express in the de
pot at the time was saved.
The fire started during the se
vere rain and electrical storm
which passed over this section
Saturday night and Sunday
___ A ~ --
rin ouvu oo m v.
was discovered a volunteer fire
brigade was organized, and by
hard work most of the contents
of the building was carried out
before it burned. The loss en
tailed was principally on the
building itself, which was
frame and which is estimated at
$1,500. By hard fighting a
string of box cars which were
standing on the house track
just back of the building were
saved. This depot was known
on the White River road as the
$10,000 depot, the people of
Yellville putting up that much
bonus to have the station locat
ed there when the road was
built. A box car depot was put
in yesterday and wire connec
tions made. This will be used
temporarily until a new station
can be built. j
