M· Minimum Wage Law Report The AFL-CIO told a Senate committee today that increasing the federal mirti~um wage and extending the law's C()Verage would increase employment as well as stimulate the national economy. Andrew J. Bierniller, director of the AFI.rCIO Legislative De– partment, testified before the Senate labor subcommittee that in 1938, 1949 and 1955, the estab– lishment and improvement of wage minimums had touched off an upswing in jobs, especially in low-wage areas. Biemiller assailed business wit· nesses, especially from retail or– ganizations, who have claimed that improving the law would mean layoffs. "Clearly they either don't know their history or they prefer to .ignore it," he said. The AFI.rCIO spokesman said he was "really irritated" at busi· ness spokesmen who oppo<;e minimiurn wages on "humanitar– ian" grounds. He cited testimony of one recent witness who said that if a $1 minim~1m went into effect, he would be forced to fire a 65-yc~r-old spinster who has been in his employ for 32 years, and who now gets $140 a month ·for working 40 to 43 hours a week. "Some humanitarian!" Biemill– er commented. In the same connection, Bie· miller noted that the U. S. Chamber of Commerce spokes– man had testified that jobs were "not important;" that "The pur– pose of the economy is to pro– duce goods and services that the businessman wants. The worker is incidental to that." "Well, that is not our view of America,'' Biemiller said. "In our view, the goods and services are simply tools toward the achieve– ment of a better life; they, not the human beings, are incident– al."

Vancouver- Phone AT 7·2128 HI GANG-Did you ever see me when I couldn't find anything to say-Well this is it. So excited I'm tonguetied-stupid and rattled -but I think it is still me. But who wouldn't be if you didn't have to answer phones, listen to pianos and organs for two whole weeks– That sounds like a year-but you know when you get where you are bound, the time goE's so fast it almost seems like it wasn't there at all. But anyway, wl;len you get to read this, I will be basking in the sun and wearing my summer cottons-heh-and finding that silver lining. Even cloud nine is going to look like a Drip. Just the sam!'! I'll miss you. * * * WELL this week the Fidelis Novem met at the home of Mrs. Ruth Wilson on N. Haight, and I sure hope I get the prizes straight this time-Cloud nine has me a little confused and I got them wrong la<>t week. But I was sure I had the cup this week but little old Vir– ginia cheated a little, but won byten points over me-Bless her little pea pickin' heart-But, I got second and I like it best anyway, I didn't have one and the booby went to Mildred Minor. Mildred is having trouble getting with it, but we love her. " * * MRS CLIFFORD DIXON as you ]mow is well now and is off to the races again in a big way. Boy, how are we ever going to keep that gal down. She has T.N.T. personified and some to lend. She is visiting in Tacoma and will be for two weeks-Isn't she wonderful? * * * ROSEBUD CLUB held its meeting at the home of Mrs. Elmer Flowers and Mable Dixon was hostess. Each member brought a guest and it was a sort of special party for two occasions. The Flowers' gave a travelogue of their journey to the Orient and a lovely birth– day cake was cut in honor of Mrs. Clifford Dixon. She didn't say how old she was, but I am sure it is 110. Any comment? * * * MRS. MABLE WASHINGTON was admitted to Providence hospi– tal this week. MRS. LEON MULKY, of Roseburg, Ore., was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Scott this last week end. Mrs. Mulkey's excit– ing visit included a trip to our beautiful Lloyd Center. Cocktails were served in the fabulous home of Mr. and Mrs. James Stokes for her pleasure. An invitation was also extended by Mr. and Mrs. Mahon Stone for cocktails. On Sunday morning she attended morn– ing service at Bethel A.M.E. church. One of her greatest pleasures was to make the acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Rutherford. The climax of her eventful weekend was dinner at the luxurious Thun– derbird dining room in the company of Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Scott, their son, Bob, and his wife, Janet. Janet is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Mulkey. * * * MR. THOMAS ' JOHNSON, 1823 NE second, has arrived horne after having been in the hospital for quite some time in San Fran– cisco, Cal. He went through surgery and is much better now. * * * SPEAKING of birthdays- Mr. Jack Martin made it to around 80 something-eth-one this week-and he is still going strong. Boy, to be like him when I get 80-ha, ha, that's a thought-many friends dropped by to wish him a happy year. * * * GOING back few years I found a piece of history that may inter– est you-it did me-A notice in the Columbian-a circular from the Edgewater Country club, we find an article reading thus and dated 1926----The Crawford family-was brought down from ,Tacoma, Wash. to operate the kitchen and dining rM>m (which they did to perfec– tion). At the same time, Jack Martin, who is still with us, was brought, to take care of the men's locker room. As I recall it, a member of the Crawford family took care of the women's locker room and quarters. Isn't it nice to look back over years of our loved friends and find nice things, and how the other fellow feels about them?? * * * SEVERAL Merrymakers were guests at the home of Mrs. Ruth Reed on Friday evening. Her adorable-but tiny home, was full to the door, and I think I was on the door-but it was fun and if we didnit disturb the neighbors, then it was a huge success. The food was .superb, the company was all agreeable, and the fun was at the utmost. * * * MRS. JUSTIN BROWN will be leaving Sat. for a rest and visit. in sunny California. Although she is much better after a long illness, that California sun will help a lot. * * * NOW, I KNOW you are ready for part 2 in Ship Ahoy-So here goes: Last week we left our story wher e we wer e going ashore and having leis put around our necks at Honolulu.

While in Honolulu, we hired a car and driver who took us on a 60.mile drive around the isle, through a tract of six thousand acres that Henry Kaiser is developing and what a place it will be-We drove through the thousands of acres of sugar cane, and the pine– apple plants, bought some of the fresh vine ripened pineapple that is so juicy and different from what we get here. When we returned from the drive, we called friends, the Wilbys and James. Together with fifteen other friends they came down and boarded the boat and visited with us in our state rooms. Refreshments were ordered and our guests enjoyed the repast. At 9:30 p. m. the loud speaker announced "All visitors ashore, please" and at 10:00 sharp, with the band playing, we left Honolulu. For nine days on the ocean we were bound for Yokohama, Jap. an·, 01;11" next stop. On a long jaunt like this, the passengers all get closer together, play more at shuffleboard, cards, bingo, and ama– teur talent shows. Elmer took part in the show. Dolled up in his B.V.D's a grass hat and a straw skirt. He also played some piano numbers on the baby grand. Time passed slowly but what a won– derful trip. If you are tired and want to rest with plenty of fresh salt air and all the good food you can eat. Just try it. On leaving Honolulu the night of Jan. 11th-on the hlgh seas we were eating supper, the dining room was full, the five piece or: chestra gathered around our table and the speaker announced "At- - tention." It said Commodore E~man, the crew and all w~t to wish Mr Ralph FlJ>wers, a happy birthday. The head waiter brought in a beauti~ul cake and sa~ it before me, with one candle burning, after whlch I made a Wish and blew itout, stood and took a bow. All sa~g "Happy ~irthday To You." This information was given to the sh1p by my sister-in-law, Theressa. The weather was good and hot, folks swi.mming in both swim– ming tanks and this big blue ocean laying here in its vastness. From Honolulu_to Yokahama, we sow one airplane, but no boats. This ocean bem~ ~o much larger than the Atlantic, it is haJ:d to think how large 1t ts. NEXT ISSUE-YOKAHAMA "No U. S.
