NEW YORK, March 12.-F the 50
wage Is made the minimum by law, girls
and women will be driven out of the de-
partment stores and on the streets, is
the opinion expressed by Henry Siegel,
the merchant, In an interview today In
connection with the coming TO this city
OF the Chicago legislative committee, who
have been Investigating vice conditions
in Illinois. Mr. Siegel is interested In
department stores in three cities and
has In his employ several thousand girls
and women.
ut is ridiculous to say that paying a
woman S2 a week moro or less Will make
her moral OF immorai,~ he said. "Will
81 save a woman? VIII So? II Is q
matter of association and home life far
more than of actual wages.
1.-The investigators have been looking
at the subject within too narrow confines.
Girls as well as men must be paid IN pro-
portion to their services,
THE hysterla OF sympathy has blinded
the Chicago Investigators to the results
of the law they propose. Out OF pity
10 the women ! am opposed TO the mini
mum wage law, Women would be driven
from business and men would take their
places When such a law Is enacted
more women will be upon the streets Of
our cities than ever before in the history
Of the country. Then IT may be truly
said that Industry has forced them to the
streets. The reason would be that a
man at Sl2 IS far more valuable than a
woman at 81 or 50.
II resent the implication that women
and girls employed in stores are as a
class immoral They are as moral as
any persons you can find. They are above
the average. Good salespeople rank high.
We Will not employ immoral girls. they
are inefficient and their Influence is
bad
