A Good Reply.

During the Apache war in Ari-
IONA in 1866 a Maricopa Indian
rode 100 miles between sun and
sun to warn party of well to do
emigrants that the Apaches had
planned to ambuscade them at a
certain pass. The young Indian
volunteered to guide the wagons by
another route, and when he had
done this he mounted his horse to
60 home.
ss'See here" said the leader of the
train to the young Maricopa; you
have done us a good service. What
is your price?"
SMy price," repeated the aston
ished Indian.
tsThat is what l asked"

Apaches and met you in the pass.
And so saying the brave. wheeled
his horse and rode proudly away.

use, should mean a man who makes
things that cut, but really it has no
more to do with "cut" than "cut-

just nothing at all. "Cut" has Teu-

through French from the late Latin
"cultellarius," which meant either
a soldier armed with a knife or a
knifemaker, and "cultellus," a little
knife, was the diminutive Of "cul-

meant a plowshare or coulter. =

Colonel Frederic ]. Paxon, eminent
Atlanta merchant and a leader in every
movement for the progress of the city,
gives Georgian readers a courageously
frank interview on the wage problem
as it affects the life of women workers
"a question that is at present agitat-
ing all the larger cities Of the United
States
Colonel PaXon, as a member OF the
firm of Dawson. Paxon & Stokes, one
of Atlanta's largest department stores,
has given the problem close study, and
after careful investigation takes issue
with the statement of Samuel H. Brady,
president of the Atlanta Federation of
Trades, that low wages drive women
into the forbidden road.
Loneliness and unattractive sur
roundings-these are the things that
drive women into vice in Atlanta be-
lieve not low wages" declared Colonel
PaXon, after reading Mr.. Brady's state
ment in The Georgian in regard to
working conditions Of girls and women
in this city.
Loneliness Leads Her Astray.
1T is, in fact, the terrible loneliness
of the girl away from home rather
than her inadequate pay or her love Of
fine clothes, that leads her astray. I'm
sophisticated, she comes from the coun-
try engages a spare little room at a
cheap hotel or boarding house, and,
keeping her gaze on the ideals she
brought with her, is able to keep
straight for a while. But gradually
the barrenness OF her lonely and friend =
less life overwhelms her and she is led
to take refuge in the companionship of
strange men. Perhaps she is weak and
falls-that is the story"
Upon the shoulders of the church
Colonel Paxon placed much Of the
blame for the notable lack of congenial
surroundings and places of harmless
amusement where girls may seek en-
tertainment until they are able to make
| friends Of the proper character. 1t was
his opinion that the church could bend
| its energies toward no worthier object
than the establishment of Y. w. c. A.
branches, industrial halls and social
centers where girls can meet after
hours and enjoy themselves.
Colonel Paxon said that the lowest
wage paid in his store was $3.50 a
month, and that this was raised after
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-20

the first month to 500, the wage after
that time depending solely upon the
ability and conduct of the employee.
The average wage he estimated at
$3.50 a month.
Opposes Minimum Wage.
The proposed minimum wage laws for
women, which are being discussed by
legislators in practically every state IN
the Union, came in for strong condem-
nation from Colonel Paxon. Without
any desire to derogate from their
laudable purpose, which is to give ev-
cry working girl and woman in the
country a living wage, he was unable
to describe them as anything else than
highly impracticable and likely to re-
suit IN conditions not only detrimental
to the employer but, as well, TO the very
persons it was intended to help.
Let me explain" he said. "A mini
mum wage scale of, say, $12 a week,
such as is before the legislators in
Illinois, would absolutely preclude the
employment of the very class Of girls
for whom we are working. The stores
and factories could not afford to pay
this to the unskilled and inefficient, ami
these persons would be without work
Another case: A man is the father
Of a large family. He simply must
allow one of his girls to work. He
brings his sixteen-year-o daughter
to me. The $3.50 month she makes
here is a great aid to the family and
gives the girl a certain feeling of in
dependence. With a drastic minimum
wage law many girls in these circum-
stances would be deprived of'the OPP

portunity of helping their families and
themselves. Instances of this sort are
legion in Atlanta. The majority Of
working girls live at home. OF course.
some Of them go wrong. but this,
an confident, is largely because of the
uncongenial home life.
Chance For Church.
Here is where the church should
step in again and show the positive
side of Christianity, instead of merely
the negative. Instead of saying, Don't
go to the moving picture shows on
Sunday how much better 1t would he
to say. Come over to our church So
cial this afternoon and enjoy your
self"
Returning to the question OF the con-
nection between low wages ana vice,
Colonel Paxon was asked if he thought
the wages in Atlanta were high enough
to remove the inducement for girls go
ing astray.
That is hard question" he replied.
Il already have professed my skepti-
cism of any close connection between
the two in this city. l think the great.
great majority Of girls in Atlanta make
more than SO a week. OF course. the
more poorly paid for the most part
live at home. But. eliminating this
fact, it must not be expected of US to
pay any certain wage at the start.
How do l know a persons qualifica-
tons before they are tested? In some
lines of work l hear that persons have
to work practically for nothing in order
to convince their employers that they
are capable of performing the work
81 think that Atlanta is all right in
this regard

PaxOn Puts Vice Blame on Church.
*s*
Loneliness, not Wage, BringsRd
Minimum Paya Harm, Not a Help

Loneliness, not low wages, drives
women into forbidden paths.
Church and society are the forces
most culpable for this situation.
A minimum wage law. rather
than helping girls entering employ
ment, would harm both them and
their employers.
This law would throw many in
experienced and unskilled girls out
of work altogether.
Most of the Atlanta working girls
live at home and easily can live on
their wages.

labor laws, not more laws is the
need.-Colonel F. ]. Paxon on the
