A WORTHY BILL.

The bill to make illegal the STAR
Walton wage for the working girl and
woman, by establishing a minimum
wage for such as are thrown upon
their own resources for support and
incidently to establish a. minimum
wage for children, should be of vast
interest not only to labor circles.
THE TIMES is deeply interested in
this matter which it has fought for
for years.
The matter of the starvation wage
for women, is farther-reaching than
the confines of the labor world. 1t
is foe to society at large. 1t is an
undermining element to the founda-
ton of civilization and good morals.
While society has no forgiveness
for the girl, who in order to keep
pace with its demands in the way of
decent housing, decent clothing and
proper nourishment, is forced into in
decent living by reason uf-the starya-
ton wage, candor compels the ad-
mission that she is greatly more sin
ned against than SHINING Tn
fortunately tremendous proportion
of the working girls today are re-
cipients of the starvation wage. For
many of such there is scarcely any
alternative open aside from that from
which every pure girl or woman
shrinks with adherence. but to
which she is eventually driven.
The employer is doubly responsible
in such cases. First in the primary
cause, lack of sufficient remunera-
ton. Second because he demands
that she make an appearance in his
office or place of business, which
will do him credit. A girl who is run
down at the heel and presents a
shabby appearance is not a credit tc
professional or businessman's men.

depends upon her neatness of ap
parel. 1t costs money to dress well
or even neatly. 1t costs money tt

then is girl with starvation salar,
to do?
Well, this bill before the legisla
ture now is trying to help solve the
problem for her, and it is to be hoped
that it will be so framed as to be O
real help. and that it becomes a law
