Nois COMMISSION

AND RECEIVE So 40 AT THE
END OF THE WEEK

Chicago, March 81 Walter ]. Ru.
bens. a manufacturer Of underwear,
was the first witness examined by the
state vice commission at the hearing
here today.
.Rubens was questioned at length by
Lieutenant Governor O'Hara in an 81
fort to obtain information regarding
the effect of state minimum wage
law for women and girls. The wit
ness said he favored national mini
mum wage law and insisted that a
state law would work great hard
ship upon manufacturers in individual;
states until other states had adopted
similar legislation.
Rubens described alleged activities
by women among the several hundred
girls employed in his plant. He said
he had been convinced that these wo-
men we're attempting 70 lure girls to
lead immoral lives.
After Rubens had concluded his tes-
timony, a number of working women
were placed on the stand to describe
how they lived on wages Of from "
to S. a week. Several Of these women
witnesses were from West side "sweat
shops one woman testified that she
worked 12 hours a day for $3.4 a
week.
Marriage, death or an immoral life
are the only avenues of escape for
girls from the toll Of the ''sweat
shops. according to testimony OF
witnesses before the Illinois vice com
mission today. Lieutenant Governor
Barrett O'Hara devoted much time
to examining girls and women wit
nesses from the West side sweat shop
district where wages range from
81. 80 to IS a week.
AS a result of the stories of hard
ship and penury told by the witnesses,
Lieutenant Governor O'Hara agreed
with Senator JUL to give one dollar
each to sweat shop" witnesses be
cause it was believed that the witnes
ses would be "docked" by their en-
ployers for the time spent before the
1 commission
The moral obligation of employers
to make certain that all their employ
es are properly clothed and adequate
" nourished was emphasized through
out today's session Of the commits
sion.

cided Saturday night that it was for
the best interests Of the city of Las
Vegas that politics should not be
made part OF the election of mem
bers Of the board Of education, which
will be held tomorrow. Accordingly a
fusion ticket was named. 1t will be

Smith, republican, four year term
IC. w. Wesner, democrat, four year
term; Sig Nahm, republican, two year
term
The ticket was agreed upon with lit
tie difficulty. The republicans sug-
gested that two republicans, two dem
ocrats and one woman be the nomi-
ness. This was proposed to com
imttee representing the democrats by
committee appointed by Stephen B.
Davis, Jr, chairman of the republican
meeting. The plan was approved by
the democrats, and w. G. Hayden,
chairman Of the democratic meeting
authorized the democratic COMMITTEES
to so notify the republicans.
The democrats then adjourned &c
the room occupied by the republicans
and the two parties organized as the
Citizens party for the purpose Of
nominating candidates for the schoo
board OF the city Of Las Vegas.
Stephen B. Davis. Jr., and Colbert G
Root were elected respectively chan
man and secretary. The entire tickle
was then balloted upon and adopted
practically unanimously.
The meetings Of the two parties wer'
held in the city hall. Both were har
monious, representatives of both par
ties believing that politics has M
place in school election. There wa
but one vote among the republican,
against giving woman place OF
the school board. The democrats
were not quite so strong in favor o
placing woman on the board, bu
those who objected declared that n
better man or woman in the cit
could have been nominated than Mrs
McWenie, who is a teacher of severa
