iFIGHT fun WOMAN !
MINIMUM vkCELAN
Miss Mary Mcdowell Issues
Warning to Illinois
Legislature.
DARING
Big Employers Fighting Movement
Claim That Increased Wages
Would be Paid by Consumers.

Chicago, March 14.-"The fight for
woman's minimum wage law IN IL
lino;s and other states Of this ma
ton must not stop now. Public sem
timcnt has become too strong to per-
nit business interest to block it.
Miss Mary Mcdowell: iicad OF the
Chicago University Settlement House,
and noted co-worker to Jane Adams,
issued this warning today TO members
of the Illinois State Legislature VINO
have been under pressure to drop con-
sideiat;on Of state minimum wage
law. at this session.
Miss Mcdowell attended nearly ev-
erv hear.l@ before the Illinois Senate
White Slave Investigating Commit
tee when it questioned big employers
a5ous the wages paid young girls and
women. She is intensely interested
in the fight for the wage bill and is
ready to 90 to Springfield to speak
in its behalf.
Lieut.. Governor O'Hara has been
so daring--he has been almost rash,
in bringing these facts about low
wages before the public said Miss
Mcdowell "I cannot believe the
Senators will surrender now"
BIZ employers and big business IN
tercsts in Chicago, supported by many
Chicago newspapcrs,are fighting the
Stae minimum wage bill with two
kind: of fire. First they insist that
minimum wage legislation should be
Federal rather that state and that q
State law will deal a severe blow at
Illinois industries because they Will
suffer in competition with industries
of other States. Second, They assert
that the increased wages, IN the long
run. will be borne By the great num-
Der Of consumers and will boost the
hir!! cost Of living.

SOUTHERN WILL PAY DAMAGES
Court of Appeals Upholds Decision
of Lower Court in Case OF Mall
Carrier.

Richmond, Va, March 14.-Unique
points were raised in the case OF the
Southern Railway against Baptist
from the Circuit Court of Halifax
county, in the State Court of Appeals
which yesterday handed down an
opinion by which the Southern Rarl-
way Company will pay William b.
Chandler $4,000 damages. Some
two wears ago, Chandler, rural mail
carrier. whose home is at Scottsburg,
started to the station to begin his
work for the day. He waited the
arrival of the early train from Rich
mond. Going to the station ne drove
a horse which was bit scarry. Just
as he got to the station the train
came up. The horse became fright
ened and began to rear and plunge.
It was charged that the engineer
made no effort to stop the train or
n in anv way prevent the danger to
Mr.. Chandler.
The horse became frantic and Mr..
Baptist. a son-in-law of MIR. Chand-
ler who was. at the station, went to
the assistance of Mr. Chandler, The
horse was still very unmanageaole
and as the train got nearer 1t made a
desperate lung and threw Mr.. Bap-
tist against or under the train, in
A,cting injuries which kept him in the
hospital for many months and vIr-
tually crippled him for life. He IN
CURED enormous hospital bills and
nhvsicians declare he will never conf

injuries sustained. Suit was brought
in the Circuit Court of Halifax and
the jury gave a verdict for $4,000.
From this the railroad appealed and
the decision yesterday upholds that
verdict.

Of Cattle.

Health last night the question of op-
Grating municipal slaughter house

Section "a Of the new health laws
of the city require inspection of all
cattle killed and sold for food with
in the city, but does cover the slaugh-
tering of small stock, such as calves,
sheep and hogs. Should the tempo
mary municipal slaughter house be
patroniZed by the local meat dealers,
it is expected that some arrangement
will likely be made for the erection
of a new brick building constructed
on a cooperative basis by all the
meat dealers in Alexandria, where
cattle can be killed under inspection
A temporary abattoir. the slaugh-
ter house of Aaron Odell is under
consideration by the committee.
Whatever arrangements are made Tor
the temporary abatetor, it is the IN
tention of the city health officers to
see that all meat killed and sold IN
Alexandria is inspected at the time
of killing.
Arrangements for slaughtering cat
tie at the proposed municipal slaugh-
ter house provides for the killing and
dressing of cattle and small stock Tor

MOTHER PUTS STOP
To AMP PU7AT|0N
Claims That it Would Be
Criminal for Daughter
to be Cripple.
TROLLEY CAR VICTIM.
Hospital Surgeons in Quandary-
Will Appeal to Corporation Coun.
sci for Instructions.

Newark, N. j., March Al hac
rather my daughter Should die thar
see her go through life with one leg
1t is criminal to allow a girl to live
with one leg. I won't let them oper-
ate"
With this ultimatum from Mrs.
Thos. Reilly holding them back from
amputating the injured leg of little
Elizabeth Refill, ten year old girl run
down by trolley car, the surgeons
of the city hospital here are in di-
lemma today. Under the law they
cannot perform the operation unless
the parents consent and the child's
condition is such that her death can
only be averted it is feared, by the
operation.
In their quandry the surgeons are
intending to appeal to the corpora
ton counsel for instructions as to how
far they may go to save the chlld's
life in the face of the mothers re-
fusal to permit them to operate. Mrs.
Reilly so far has remained obdurate
against all the arguments surgeons
could advance.
"A girl is better dead" she said,
ethan going through life with one
leg. What chance of happiness has
one-legged girl. A man might be
able to make living but girl, why
no orc would marry her and her whole
life would be miserable"
The need Of amputation the sur
geons say is not due to the extent Of
the injury to the limb so much as to
the signs of blood poisoning already
apparent.
