British airman who was killed yes
terday by fall from his monoplane

was acting on behalf of the Rumanian
government, wanted him to test a
monoplane, intended for the Rumanian
army, in unsuitable weather. This he
refused to do.

MAIL ORDER MILLIONAIRE TELLS OF
WAGES PAID IN WHITE SLAVE PROBE

CHICAGO. Mar. 7.-Before a room
filed to the doors with legislators,
and social workers, the senate COM
mittee's probe into white slavery and
IFS relation to starvation wages was
resumed today at the La Sale hotel.
The testimony of the heads of de-
partment stores and mail order houses
who have been summoned to tell OF
the wages they pay their employees,
is expected to occupy the hearing to-
day and tomorrow
Julius Rosenwald the head of the
mail order house of Sears Roebuck
and company, testified that his con-
Germ employed 400 women workers
at an average weekly wage of $9.l2.
Girls of under 16 years, he said, re-
ceiyed the minimum of $500, and he
insisted that there were fully l5oo
women who did not get less than
$500 per week.
1--WE make it a point to ask our
women employees whether they live at
home" he asserted, "and We won't
employ a woman or girl for less than
So. 90 per week unless she is living at
home"
A fiat contradiction of the million
aire store owners statements was
made by a girl employe who stated
that she worked 10 hours each day LOT
$3.50 a week. Another girl swore
that "scolders" were employed and
that the girls were regularly threaten
ed with dismissal to speed them at
their work.

There are six locks on the Atlantic

each end of the Gatun lake.
A ship arriving at Colon from New
York, on its Eay to San Francisco, en-
tiers the sea level channel in Limon
bay and steams for seven miles
through the canal, which is 500 feet
wide and forty-o feet deep, to Gatun.
Here its way is barred by a massive
pile of masonry with impressive steel

The gates swing together, and the ship

long and 10 feet wide and built of
concrete In moment the water in
this chamber begins to rise, being sup

the ship rises with the water.
