Big CROWDS ATTEND
FIRST ~CHAUTAUQUA
And it is Pronounced a Success in
Every Way

Five days of ideal weather, and
the informality of an outdoor enter
tainment under a tent in the court
yard park, brought out a big crowd
of people to attend Miller's first eff
fort at a Chautauqua.
The meeting was n of the Com
mercial Clubs enterprises, and both
the club and the chautauqua COM
mittee ear feel gratified at the
splendid success of it financially. and
the general approval expressed by
SO many people.
Whether there will be other
Chautauquas endorsed and managed
bv the Commercial Club is a matter
for the future to decide. A consid-
cradle number Of citizens have ex-
pressed a desire for it. If such ex-
preston becomes general enough
the Club may again manage a Chau-
tauqua. But at this time the pledg-
es received do not indicate a strong
enough desire to warrant the Clubs
action favorable.
That the week of entertainment
was the most popular and success
ful thing attempted in the county
for a long time is evident. The field
is open for such an enterprise each
summer. and the PRESS believes it
would be a good thing for both town
and county. People of the towns
have already expressed their pleas
ure and approval, and probably the
country residents will do the same
in time.
The Chautauqua
The big tent to accommodate some
eight hundred people was erected on
the court yard park, among the
trees. with a blue grass sod for floor.
TIE seats were chairs and benches.
A temporary stage was erected at
one end of the tent for performers,
piano, cooking utensils, ETC., and
electric lights were strung about.
The place was comfortable. the air
good. and people moved about in
apparent enjoyment of the out door
freedom-and it was practically out
of doors, because the sides of the big
tent were raised.
In attendance the meetings were a
success from the beginning. The
tent was filled on Wednesday. Thurs.
day, Friday and Saturday, both af-
ternoon and evening, and on Sunday
the big crowd overlooked the bound
aries of the tent. necessitating ad
ditional seating capacity on all sides.
Sundays meetings brought the
greatest number of visitors. by
train, by auto, and by carriage.
The Press will not undertake to
give a detailed description of each
entertainment. Some liked one. and
some another, perhaps some liked all
of them. At any rate it gave our
people a week of pleasurable outing
at the lowest possible price-indeed
FOR the business men of Miller, it
was at a less cost than for a few
hours celebration en- a 4th of July.
The cash receipts of the entire
meeting were SIPS, which just
about pays for the enterprise, &C
cording to estimate of the commit
tee-aii expense bills not having
been filed vet,
Pledge cards for the 1914 Chau-
tauqua were partly circulated about
the tent. and some 200 season tick
cts were promised. But as this is
not sufficient to assure a Chautau-
qua for next year. the committee
has placed these cards at the three
city banks where any one can call
for them-if they want another
Chautauqua.

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 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, and
these persons would be without work.
Another case: A man is the father
of large family. He simply must
allow one of his girls to work. He
brings his sixteen-year- daughter
to me. The $3.50 a month she makes
here is a great aid to the family and
gives the girl certain feeling Of in
dependence. With a drastic minimum
wage law many girls in these circum-
stances would be deprived of the op-

FRIEDMAN CURE
ASTOUNDS \. !.
SPECIALIST
German Warns Tuberculosis
Sufferers Not to Come to
Him Now, But to Wait.

NEW YORK. March 20.-Two ex-
tremely cheering messages were receiv-
ed to-day by DIR. Friedrich Friedman,
German specialist, who claims to have
discovered a cure for tuberculosis and
who has recently made many expert
ments in this country and Canada.
One came from DR.. Mannheimer, one
of the most reputable and notable ply
sicians in the city, who declared to day
after examining the patients treated by
Friedman ten days ago, that the con-
Sumptive victims had made almost un-
believable progress. The other mes
sage sent to the German savan was
from the Philadelphia board Of health,
Transmitted through three prominent
physicians of that city who called at
the hotel today. They left word for the
physician, who was out at the time,
that If he would go to Philadelphia a
special license to practice there would be
Issued to him by the governor of the
state and that everything possible
would be done to aid him. The New
York board Of health denied Dr. Fried
mann a permit.
IL IIleuIlCu +. FREEMAN To-Day
issued warning to sufferers from
pulmonary consumption and other tu-
berculosis ailments in all parts of the
United States not to come to New York
for treatment. The statement was as
follows:
DO not come to New York at this
time. Stay at home and keep your pa
thence. 1t won't be long until you Will
all have the opportunity OF receiving
my treatment.
The trip to this city consumes your
strength and vitality. You can not
afford this. A railroad trip TO this
city may cost your life, so do not en-
barrass me by making such a trip, be-
cause l can not now treat any sufferers
except those countenanced by the gov
eminent physicians"
The United States government ex-
perts delegated to Investigate DR..

first report tomorrow.

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, l
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 it would be
10 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. I 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 I know a persons qualifca-
tions before they are tested? In some
lines Of work 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"

Loneliness, not low wages, drives
women into forbidden paths.
Church and society are the forces
most culpable for this situation.
\ 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 unskilIed girls out
of work altogether.
Most of the Atlanta working girls
live at home and easily can live on
their wages.

Women and Wage Problem.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-20

Colonel Frederic J. Paxon, eminent
Atlanta merchant and 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. IN
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
