existence becomes fcrccr and woman
has to enter the labor market to pro-
vide the means for her subsistence.
Twenty years ago female labor was no
factor in the manufacturing interests of
the west. To-day tens of thousands of
girls arc compelled to earn livelihood
i'll the shops and stores of our cities and
villages.
The result of her competition has
been general reduction of wages in oc-
equations enormously called ''gcntccl,"
such as office work, selling goods in
stores and bookkeeping. Employers
know from experience that Il woman
will take smaller wages than man, and
consequently they pay her mere frac-
ton OF what they gave her male prcdc-
ccssor. The wagc-carncrs of America
have never seriously objected to female
competition. Their criticism has al
ways been directed against woman's
weakness in conscnting to rate herself
lower than man by accepting less re-
muneration for performing similar du-
tics. The objection is well founded. If
woman does the same amount of work
she is entitled to the same pay as her
brother or father, and if she accepts less
snc is guilty of dcpriving home
maker of his position and income No
young man can to-day afford to engage
in stcnography or typewriting or in
selling dry goods and similar mcrchan-
disc. Women have monopolized these
two callings, and wages have been re-
duced fully 100 per cent.
The reason is obvious. Scores of
girls employed in the large stores of
Chicago live at home. They work
merely to secure spending money.
Four or six dollars week is all the
pay they ask; and other girls who are
dependent on their wages for living
arc compelled to accept the same pay.
In years gone by men received for the
same class of work from SIG to SIS per
week. The system which encourages
such n state of affairs is bad and will
eventually reduce women to the posi-
ton they now occupy in Europe. Home
making has already become usccondary
consideration. The cver-growing de-
mand for the luxurics of life will keep
the ranks of female workers supplied
from class which should withdraw
from the field altogether The prepos-
ferrous idea that it is more genteel for q
girl to work in store or Office than to

be servants; but it seems that thou
sands who now go to bed nightly hun
CRY and tired might turn their atten-
ton to houscworll and thus relieve the
pressure. The only argument advanced
against this theory is that for every
woman who leaves the ranks of the
toilers two arrive i'll the city to take the
vacant place. Large cities seem to
have a fascination for country girls who
think that the noise and glitter of the
downtown streets will make life a con-
tinual pleasure. BY the time they realize
their mistake, they are broken down in
health; their energy is gone and they
arc as helpless as the slaves born and
bred in the city.
Punched, hungry-loolSing faces every
where. Nothing to relieve the disheart-
cning monotony. Such is an outline of
the sweaters districts" of Chicago.
Would that the thousands of young
women who are ambitious to live in
this city could DC induced to look upon
the dark side of the picture, and much
misery might be avcrted.
"Ten women for every place, no mat
ter how poor it may be-" is the plain,
a.
who has made the question of female
labor special hobby. ''IIundreds of
girls wreck their future every year
and destroy their health in the stuffy,
illy-ventilated stores and shops of Chi
cago. And vet scores of recruits arrive
from the country towns every week to
assume the places vacated by these vic
tins of greed"
Women who arc so anxious to secure
bargains never give thought to the
sad fact that every cloak and jacket
and every piece of underclothing they
buy has in all probability been satu-
rated with the tears of the six or seven
women engaged in the manufacture of
the article. Neither do they pity the
poor girl who sells the goods. They
are after IL bargain" and usually they
get it; but, alas, at the expense of mem
bers of their own sex whom stern ne
cessity compcls to labor for pittancc.
1t has been suggested that shoppers.
boycott all stores employing sweaters
and underpaid salcsgirls. The move
ment might be productive of some
good, but after carefully examining
the field it seems that nothing would
secure relief as rapidly as organization.
If ever unionism was needed it is among
the female wagc-cnrncrs of our large
cities. q. w. WEIpriEEr

Saleswomen in cities who have no
other income than their salary are
among the most unfortunate victims of
the present state of affairs. They do not
earn enough to live dcccntly, and arc
compelled either to resort to dishonor

As Il people we arc prone to point with
pride to the way in which we treat wom-
en-. Our newspapers publish eloquent
articles explaining to every foreigners
satisfaction that the average American
has nothing so much at heart as the adj
vnnccmcnt of the opposite sex. In
theory the claim holds good, in practice
it has but very prccarious existence.
Chivalry which is confined to the mum
bling of n few polite words to n we'll

aversion the illy-clad shop girl is not
the genuine article. 1t is travcsty
calculated to destroy confidence in our
free institutions and to draw with dan
gcrou5 rapidity line between plutc.o
racy and labor that may eventually
lead to serious results.

Incredible.
In u tumblc-down cottage in one of
the most miserable parts of the city the
committee discovered q little girl,
eleven years of age, Ida Harris by
name. who was engaged in sewing but
tons on the finest class of trousers
Working with her in the filthy room
were six men and six women. The
little girl was required to toll from
seven o'clock in the morning until nine
ut night in order to earn two dollars
per week. She considered herself prct-
ty we'll off, however, and stated that
she was doing much better than most
girls, who receive but six cents for sew
ing on II dozen buttons, whereas she
was paid ten cents for the same work.
The men in the same shop earn from
S. TO Sc a week, and the women and
older girls from SIS to 81.
Another woman seen by the commit
tee, one Josie Frcdericka, was a pants
finisher. She and her mother occupied
small, dark back room. Josie earns
Is cents week and her mother S. so.
They eat. sleep and work in the one
&oom whose dimensions arc IA by 20 feet.
Two little children just beginning to
walk were also taught to consider this
place home.
These poor toilers make the goods
sold by the leading stores of the city.
They do not receive their work from
the large firms directly, however, but
arc engaged by middlcmen, commonly

work. A sweater" will make an ar

ing to furnish Il certain number of gar
ments for IL certain sum. Instead of
being satisfied with small profit and
paying fair wages to his employees, he
will grind them down until absolute
necessity compcls them to work for
anything he may be inclined to pay.
That women cannot sustain their
sclf-rcspcct under such trying circum-
stances is evident, and the only wonder
is that the moral atmosphere of the
ncighborhoods where these unfortunate
workers live is not more offensive.
The time was when tailors earned
fair wages in Chicago, but since women
have been found to do the work at al
most any price they are no longer en-
ploycd by clothing manufacturers ex-

Not to Extend the Town Limits.

Shortly before noon Tuesday. in the
office of the Salem Development Com
pany, committees from the council and
the board of trade had meeting with
the directors of the Development Com
pany, regarding the extension of the
town limits so as include most of the
houses over the river.
After the subject had been thoroughly
discussed there was no one present who
could see whore the town or the De-
velopment Company would be tho least
benefited by this extension at the pres
ont time, though all felt sure that the
day would come when such change
would be desirable for all parties.
The Development Company have 4
very excellent system of water works
on their lands, which they value very
highly. whilst the town has also
system which it thinks can't be beat.
