In justice to Madison, it may
be said that this incident really
occurred at La Crosse, Wis.
"I'll see what the industrial
commission can do about it,
said the alderman, after pulling
for a moment. "That commits
sion is given the right to look
after the moral as well as the
physical welfare of all working
people"
The next day the alderman
wrote letter to the industrial
commission pointing out the fact
that the welfare of the girls in
this particular factory was put in
jeopardy by the presence of baW-
dy houses in the vicinity of the
factory. 49,
The commission sent a letter to
the mayor, the district attorney
and the chief of police A letter
