The Woolworth manager was on the stand the longest and was tak- en to task for the wage policies of lhis czmpany. The average wage for full time women clerks in Woolworth Stores was $10.80 with some getting as low as $7. ~"With a company making as large profits as yours, retuming a net profit to the owners of 23 per- _cent, could you not pay better than |an average of S-10.80 a week,” I "well, they could have, yes, Harrington replied.

By G\|ardia.n’s Special WIN) WINNIPEG, Dec. 11.-Farmers on the westem plains tonight looked hopefully toward a permanent agri- culture that would withstand the scourge of drought. The problem will be studied by the premiers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al- berta at a conference to be held at 'Regina before the new year. Dominion co-operation in reclaim- ing dried-out areas of the southern prairies may be definitely relied up- on, Premier John Bracken of Mani- toba stated today. Assistance of qualified technical men from the Federal Department of Agriculture were promised by Prime Minister R. B, Bennett to aid in finding a solu- tion to the problem. At. the Regina meeting an effort will be made to work out a uniform plan that will keep the farmer on the land forced out by successive crop failures over a period of five years. Recommendations will be submitted at ll. joint provincial-Do- | minion Conference to be held later. Premier Bracken returned today from a two weeks' visit to Eastern Canada and Washington where he I interviewed Government leaders and suggested plans for placing agricul- ture on its feet. At Washington fur- ther co-operation of the United States Government was promised in any plan to rehabilitate the Arid regions which extend beyond the in- _temational border.
