ton 2,755 OF the supplement of the
code which provides the notices shall
be published once each week for two
successive weeks in a newspaper pub

safe In doing this since my action I,

lawyers, backed by the board itself
and some OF the leading lawyers of

My only personal regret is that
this suit will be costly to the people
of the Keokuk district who must de
fend the suit which to my mind has
too slim basis to be justiflable, at
least to justify a Keokuk citizen In
bringing It But guess the only way
to talk to Major Collins Is to beat him

me he would take the case"

employees just as much as II was to
see that their work was efficient,
he said.
1T is my duty TO protect the clean
girls from the unclean," declared
Winslow emphatically. and in ad-

policy, for the moral employe is the
more efficient"
Women Take Exception
Mrs. Mcmahon and Mrs. Swan
son took issue with Winslow. They
were just as emphatic In their
declaration that an employer had
nothing whatever TO do with the
conduct of his employees outside OF
working hours, and that knowledge
that girl was grossly immoral
was not just ground for her dis
missal.
The moral question had been In.
