ST. Paul Police Said to Have Secured
Revenue Therefrom.
Not only have st. Paul police
officials shared in the protection"
money collected from resort keepers,
but the harboring of criminals has
been remunerative business, accord
ing to the confession furnished the
county attorney and Judges Hanft
and Orr by Willie Wolff.
Wolff's confession and testimony
cover thirty typewriter pages and
disclose deals aggregating $4,000,
which Wolff says were made after
Martin Flanagan became acting chief
of police about year ago.
He says the eXtortions from women
in the restricted district were only a
part of the police revenues and that
a number of criminals were permitted
to operate in st. Paul by remunerat
ing the officers. He says that in one
deal $4,000 changed hands.
Six indictments, some against for
mer police officers, are expected tC
be returned within a day or two by
the grand jury.

MRS. YOUNG ON JOB

Mrs. Ella Flagg Young is again Chi
cago's superintendent of schools.
The noted educator returned to the
city last night and announced defin-
iteiy that she would again assume the
lob from which she was ousted-an
act that cost four of the CLUSTERS"
their places on the board.
Mrs. Young refused to discuss John
D. Shoop or the recent war on the
school board.
Shoop and his attorneys have not
vet decided what action to take.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-12-27

Now, Mr.. Editor, if that is a fair
sample of department store methods,
believe that it is high time that
organized labor bodies, and all 9TH
er organizations in the city of Chi
cago, should proceed to teach the
loop stores lesson which they shall
never forget, even if they ever re-
cover from it, and in my way of
thinking the only way to attain that
end is to spend our money with deal
ers who are not such hogs as the
department store owners or man
ayers (even if said owners or man
ayers do not show their bristles).
In the building trades we have a
very effective method of dealing with
people-be they large or small fry
who fail to pay their workmen their
weekly wage, to-Wit: Their work is
tied up so completely that they are
more than willing to settle. Of course,
in the present state of affairs that
procedure could not be taken with
the large department stores, but the
public could be interested in a man
ner that would so depreciate their
sales that they would probably be
willing to pay to their employees the
miserable amount due them at the
end of the week. Just think of it, a
girl old enough to, get married work.
ing for $3.50 a week, and then do
without this money until these Shy
locks are forced-if they can be fore
ed-to come across.
Mr.. Editor, the answer to this rid
die is up to you. Arthur Thorpe,

THE FAIR REFUSES WAGES

Editor Day Book:
In a recent issue of your invalu-
able paper there is quite an article
about the enslaving of the employees
of The Fair department store.
From facts which are in my pos
session. l can well believe the story
written in The Day Book. l have in
my possession a time check belong
ing to a young girl of my acquaint
ance which the cashier at The Fair
store refuses to honor, although it is
stamped and signed in the regular
manner.
This young girl had worked for
The Fair in the neighborhood of
three years, up to and including Nov.
Is, at which time she quit on account
of her marriage. When she presented
the time check to the cashier with
the statement she was going to quit
on account of her marriage, she was
met with fiat refusal to pay her
her weekly stipend, they using the
f1imsy excuse that she must bring
her parents before she could draw
her wages. l use the phrase ''f1imsy
excuse" because during the long per-
iod she was employed at The Fair
store no one had asked her to bring
her parents, or guardians, to help her
draw her miserable $3.50 per week.
1 also have in my possession her
employees badge and locker key, for
which she is indebted to The Fair 25
cents each. When the cashier refused
to pay her she refused to turn in her
time check, badge and locker key
(the time check being in the form of
a receipt until such time as they
consented to pay her her wages.
In your article in regard to the
unfair treatment of employees, COM
polling them to work for nothing on
Sunday, it states that one Of the
clerks says: "Our demand for fifty
cents each for the days work was
refused" That in itself is certainly

HERBERT w. REED,
Music.

In answer to numerous inquiries
from prospective pupils, and in re-
Spouse to the solicitations of patrons
and friends, Mr.. Herbert w. Reed, the
director of music at Bryan Baptist
Academy, announces that he expects
to remain permanently in Bryan. He
is now finishing his second year at the
academy. His remarkable success is
shown by the fact that his enrolment
OF music pupils this session is larger
than that of any preceding teacher
While critical to degree, his enthu.
siasm in his work, and his untiring
efforts in the interest of the individual
pupil, makes each one feel that he has
their best welfare at heart.
Mr. Reed was born and reared in
Northern Iowa, where he received an
education at his home high school and
at Cornell College. His piano work
was begun with excellent teachers,
and he later had an opportunity to
study with Else Sternsdorff, now a
leading teacher and concert pianist of
Berlin. Realizing that the ordinary
piano teacher has but scanty equip
ment for teaching, he took teachers
course at the Crosby Adams School,
Chicago. Mrs. Adams is a pupil of
List, and teacher and composer of
National reputation.
In voice, he studied at the Chicago
Musical College under Mr.. Hans
Schroeder, the eminent German bari
tone. Later he studied with DR.. Glenn.
ent B. Shaw, teacher and lecturer of
Chicago, who was for several years
soloist at fremont Temple, Boston.
His last work was done with Mr.. d.
A. Clippinger, author and teacher, d.
rector Of the Chicago Madrigal Club,
and editor of the Western Musical
Herald.
In deciding to remain in Bryan, Mr..
Reed came to the conclusion that there
is no small town in the State more
interested in the cause of education,
and more enthusiastic in musical cul-
ture, or offering a better field for his
labors.
