WOMEN'S WAGES
IN LARGE CITIES
Continued from page ID

These women we find living in
small rooms and absolutely underfed.
It is safe to say that the great ma
Jor1ty OF them, since they have be-
come wage-earners, do not know what
a full meal means. Half of them are
living on two meals day and these
meals OF the ten Or fifteen cent va
riety, according to our reports. Many
OF them have to depend for clothes on
what more successful friends are will
Ing to give them OF CASTOR garments.
Is 1t any wonder women go wrong?
No woman is bad at heart; environ
ment is responsible for majority Of
crimes. They do wrong because they
have to.
i have communicated the facts as
given to me by our investigators to
Senator'S Edmund Beall, JEFF Tossey,
d. T. Woodland and Nels JUL, the
other members of the committee.
Each and every one Of them has re-
affirmed his determination to con-
tinue with this investigation until all
the facts are brought out and made
public, regardless of where or whom
they hit.
The senators declare that If the
women of Illinois are being paid starv-
alton wages and that as a result many
of them are being made victims of the
infamous white slave traffic, it is high
time the people of Illinois should be
made aware OF such conditions.
"Of course, until our investigation
has proceeded further and we have in
terrogated the large employers under
oath, cannot say whether the re-
ports that are before me are founded
on fact. The commission is determ-
ined to do full justice to the employees
as well as the employers and we will
not presume to judge any one
guilty until full testimony has been
had. The big employers summoned
TO appear before US tomorrow have
been ordered to bring with them their
payrolls. These payrolls will tell an
interesting story.
II have received over thousand
letters this week from men and women
in all parts of the state commencing
the commission for the work II is
undertaking. Some OF these letters
are from women, now happily married,
who tell of fearful struggles In their
maidenhood days with the evils OF the
white slave traffic. Other letters are
from employers who frankly confess
that at present they are paying stary
alton wages but win welcome the day
when state law compels all en-
ployers to pay women fair living
wage.
II give a pledge 10 the people OF
Illinois. not only on behalf Of myself.
but also on behalf OF every member
of the commission, that the only am
bition of the commission is to save
the women OF Illinois from the dangers
now impelling them; and to say to the
women Of Illinois that their interests
and the interests of their sisters
will continue to be the first and only
consideration of this commission We
4 VIII proceed fairly and sanely, seek.
ing to do no injustice To any innocent
! person, but determined to strike at
the root of this most infamous evil.
In this determination, nothing viii

Mayor Elder said today that there
were no plans for utilizing the ground
for an especial purpose but there
would be a street through the land
along the water front to the govern
ment grounds between the railroad
and the dry dock. 1t Is not probable
that any greatly improved street will
be put in from the bridge to the gov
eminent grounds, which will be much
higher than the river front which is
coded to the city. The land is very
valuable to the city for possible uses
