achusetts II presume he means the
legislature of Massachusetts, lin
minimum wage legislation.
They were so doggone CAUTIOUS
about it in Massachusetts that they
omitted to mention any minimum
wage in their act or to give the min
mum wage commissions created by
The act the power to fix such a mini
mum. Which 1 must say is display
ng some CAUTION.
shouldn't be surprised if it were
lust this omission that moves Tay-
Tor to point with such approval to
the course of Massachusetts in mini
mum wage legislation.
After pointing out the need of
similar CAUTION in Illinois, Taylor
gives utterance to the old cry of the
trust newspapers; that, in connecting
low wages and vice, the O'Hara COM
mission has slurred every decent
working girl in Chicago now getting
less than living wage.
am glad to say that Taylor seems
confident there are thousands of Chi
cago working girls thus slurTed. It
shows that Taylor knows that those
who keep him in funds don't paylliv-
ing wages to their women employees.

lor, 'is open to severe criticism for

the fraction of working women fall
ing into vice, a fraction that has
never been proved to number more
than II per cent of the women found
in the underworld"
There are quite a few things Tay-
lor does not seem to understand.
First, the O'Hara commission was
not appointed to make an inquiry
as to the need of a minimum wage
law" It was appointed purely and
simply as a vice commission to in
4.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-06-02


But the commission happened to
be composed of honest men and men
of courage. Before they had been at
work a week they had excellent evil
dence that the one great cause of vice
is economic conditions. and not white
slavers or grating policemen or any
others Of the army which lives of
those thrust into the underworld by
economic conditions.
So the commission laid aside the
cases of such women as had sinned
for sins sake, and took up the ques-
ton of starvation wages, and Of wo-
men who had been forced into the
underworld by starvation wages.
A very elementary investigation
along this line showed that our best
payers of starvation wages also are
our most prominent citizens and
pBilanthropists."
1t was obvious to the commission
that if such men as these, who
prided themselves on their good
ness" were so calloused by their
greed for money that their own con-
sciences did not force them to pay liv-
ing wages, then the enactment Of a
minimum wage LAW that WOULD
force them to do so was prime and
immediate necessity.
It was then that the 0'fIara COM
mission used the methods which Tay-
Ior is pleased to call sensational
It held up in plain sight of all the
people those prominent citizens and
philanthropists," who became prom
inent and philanthropic on profits

their own employees
It piIloried the RosenEalds and the

Swifts and the Armours. and all that
pirate crew which makes our slums
and our crime by the payment Of
