GUARDS
FOR COMMISSION

Springfield, ILL.,, April 30-Lieuten-
ant Governor Barrett O'Hara called
upon the police for protection at the
hearing of the senate white slave"
investigation committee yesterday.
Attorneys A. M. Fitzgerald and G. F.
Mortimer, who in the afternoon pub
licly announced their intention to at
tend the nFeeting to.>assist' Witnesses
who might need their assistance, ap-
peared at the meeting when 1t opened.
The room was filled with men and
women, witnesses and spectators. The
crowd was hostile. to the committee
and, when the request of the attor-
neyS to be heard was denied, insisted
that the right be granted them. When
it appeared likely that the meeting
might develop into a riot, Lieutenant
Governor O'Hara and Senator Beall
instructed one of their investigators
to call the police. Several bluecoats
responded to the call. After their ar
rival Attorneys Fitzgerald and Morti-
mer made further effort to be heard
and again being denied, left the hall
amid catcalls and a prolonged demon
stration on the part of the crowd.
1t was stated the attorneys decided
to withdraw to avoid all possibility
Of an outbreak.
The testimony of the girls called
some declaring they were satisfied
with the conditions in the shoe fac
tory, others that they were not.
Most complaints seemed directed at
alleged conduct of William Alexander,
foreman of the box department.
| Alexander, when called, declared
the girls in his department were well
varying from 81 to So per week. AL
exander aroused the committee by
saying if he could get girls to work
| cheaper he would do so. He further
aroused Senator JUL by insisting that
no moral responsibility rested on him
for the conditions of the girls. The
senator did sharp questioning at the
witness, who provoked laughter by
his replies.
Asked what he had done previous
to going in the shoe business, Alex
ander said he was a professional ped
destrian. Asked to define that term
he declined, suggesting that Mr.
O'Hara consult a dictionary. He said
it was unfair to take for truth some
of the testimony given by some Of
the girls.
He went into considerable length
to show some of the testimony could
not possibly be true.
