MORAL COURT
ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE WILL
PROPOSE MORAL COURT TO PRO
TECT WORKING GIRLS.
(SDccidI to The Hcrdfd)

Especial to The HcrdId)
CHICAGO. Ill. April 1S.-CrcatiOn of
a state morals court to protect working
girls from insults offered by employers
will be proposed i'll a bill to be offered III
the Illinois legislature, Lieutenant Gov
ernor O'Hara announced today.
The proposals for the new morals
courts grows out of revelations made
while the Illinois senate committee was
investigating the low wage question.
During our hearings we received Il
score of letters each day from steno-
graphers and factory girls telling Of in
suits to which they had been subjected by
their EMPLOYERS" said OHara. Seven
tv-ive per cent of these letters told of
girls being led astray by men for whom
they worked. They were not anonymous.
In each case they gave the name Of the
employer and the circumstances sur
rounding the case"
O'Hara picked out one letter written
by an 1S-ycar old girl who was employed
by a Chicago professional man who is
married.
HE paid me 50 a week." wrote the
girl. Zone night he asked me to stay
after hours and do some work for him.
When everyone had left the building he
attacked me. | fought my way down
stairs and the next morning ! was dis
charged"
O'Hara proposes that five women be
made Judges. Girls who were wrOnged
by their employers would tell of insults
if they were assured that their stories
would be held in strict confidence, he
said.

TION DEFEND QUALITY OF PHIL
IPPINE PRODUCT.


Manila, April 1S.-Attacks that have
been made on Philippine cigars by GER
tain dealers in the United States have
led to the usual action of the Philippine
government itself taking a hand in the
cigar from the growing Of the tobacco in
the field to the finished product as it is
packed in boxes. This will entitle it to
bear in the form of a seal a government
stamp guaranteeing the quality of the
contents of each package, this seal to be
broken only by the retailer in the United
States.
Ever since the passage of the Payne
bill gave the Filipino access. with res
trictions in amount, to the United States
markets the bureau of health has super
vised the sanitary condition Of the Man

orably with the most clearly housewives

so cXacting that workers are subjected
to a rigid physical examination before
being permitted to register at a govern
mcnt bureau.
Now the cigar itself must be made
equal to the best product of other coun-
tries and to this end the most intleXible
inspections will be made not only of the
general quality. and appearance as for

post HOLE PETE" NOTED RAIL
ROAD CONSTRUCTION WORKER
WILL START CHICKEN RANCH.

EDMONTON, Alta, April 1S.-Peter
McCardell, better known throughout the
Western states and provinces as Post
Hole Pete" has decided to abandon the
exciting life at the head of steel on rail,
road construction work and settle down
as a chicken grower near Edmonton. He
has acquired a plot of ground and will
erect a shack and the necessary out
buildings at once.
His experimental stock will consist Of
two or three pens of standard bred fowl
from every state, province and territory
on the North American continent, the
idea being to ascertain which produces
the most profitable fowl for commercial
purposes. He plans to open an account
for a year with every pen of fowl and
then submit his data to the department
of agriculture of the United States and
Canada for the benefit of farmers.
McCardell received his nick name in
a peculiar manner 30 years ago. while
working for a rancher i'll northwestern
Montana. His task was to dig post
holes. One day his employer was called
to Helena on business. which he sup
posed would occupy two or three days,
and his final instructions to the labOrer
were: Keep digging till | return. I'll
be back before you finish"
Peter carried out the orders He wore
out several spades i'll digging sufficient
holes to fence the ranchcr's holdings and
continued nOrthward until past the in
ternational boundary. Warm words
were exchanged when his long delayed
employer returned. but the workman
collected his wages in full. having proved
by his fellow laborers that he was told
to keep digging"

posed Of some of the most representative
women of the state, is determined to
''secede." The appointment by Senator
Thomas of George Lang, an employe OF
the state department, to the secretaryshlp
of the suffrage committee, is the last
straw.
Senator Thomas was elected by the
women of Colorado" declared one indlg-
nant suffrage leader today. without
our loyalty he would have been gathered
to oblivion long ago"
THE position of secretary of the senate
suffrage committee is one for which a
large number of ONE are eminently
fitted by education and experience to NIL.
And for a Colorado senator to have recOg-
nized the women by such an appointment
would have meant a definite and effective
recommendation of the suffrage cause.
Time and again the women have
fought in the democratic party ana
wrested the banners of victory from the
enemy when the enemy had the men run
ming and had started to dance a sara
band of triumph. And now the women
are going to put forth the challenge:
No more lemons"
To make that challenge effective, if
possible, the Colorado suffrage assocla-
ton leaders are planning to make a
demonstration of strength during the
coming campaign in Denver for city com
missiOnerships. 1t is planned to organ

hold a parade of women and to invite

Plans to organize a strictly wOman'S

The hackers of the present movement de
clared today that never before had Il
movement been accompanied by the milit-
ant spirit which they hope to inject into
il this time. For that reason they think
il may be a success.
