since he left office.
Several department stores were Wis

employers of girl labor-"Merchant

Wall street, as well as State street,
have testified in much the same strain
before the probing committee. They
have agreed with julius Rosenwald,
millionaire philanthropist and head Of
the Sears Roebuck company, who told
he committee there is absolutely no
connection between low wages and
prostitution. If girl goes wrong, it
Is because Of her environments
Another of the big employers though
that girls who go wrong do SO because
they are "depraved." He could not

virtue, il she were in her right mind
even if she were down to her last
crust of bread.
Edward Hillman, who rose from a
place as 81 week cash boy to the
position of director of the big Hill

dissenter.

Want to Be Let Alone
Glen said that the big manufacture

were let alone. He didn't believe leg

are the equally positive declarations
Of a half dozen social workers that
the primary cause of the ruin of young
