Mr.. Harrison as the American exhibit A? Where
there should be force, we give weakness. Where
there should be courage, we give them timidity.
Where there should be intelligence, we give them

the sort of lawyer of whom, when they fall i'll or

very rich men. Mr. Harrison has been both. A

Are Paid So a Week Here.
Ministers Investigate.

Stating that there were business en-
terprises in Atlanta thriving upon the
toll of girls at SO a week, Rev. a. A.
Little, D. d.. of Westminster Pres
byterfan Church declared in his
morning sermon Yesterday that the
Ministers Union of the city. in CO
operation with the Federation OF
Trades, was making a thorough in
yestigation of conditions here, With
the view of making certain recon-
mendations TO the Georgia State Leg
lsiature at its next session
Dr. Little stated that while Atlanta
was the best city in America and
that he had rather be an humble cit
izen Of This good place than to have
been a prince in Judah, there were
conditions here that were grinding out
the lives of the poor. He said that
there were many manufacturing con-
Germs that paid their employees but
So the week, and only one that PAID
its girls as much as $3.50, which, he
said was barely above the figure set
by the Chicago Vice Commission as
sufficient for young woman's sup
port
To correct some of the existing
evils. DR.. Little stated that he fla
vored a compulsory education law. an
anti-child labor law and law to com
pei worthless fathers to support their
families.
Il believe" said DR. Little, that
many of the divorce cases that crowd
our courts are traceable to the fact
that young girls rush into marriage
because they can not support them
selves in the right way on the wages
paid by some Of our manufacturing
concerns
