in Marriage, Death or Immoral Life
Poorly Paid Women and Girls APP
pear Before Vice Commission.

Chicago, March 31.-Marriase, death
or an immoral life are the only aven-
ues of escape for girls from toll OF
the sweat shops" according to testi-
mony of witnesses before the Illinois
vice commission today.
Lieutenant Governor Barratt O'Hara
devoted much time to examining girls
and women witnesses from the west
side sweat shop" district where wages
range from $3.50 to s. a week.
AS a result of the stories of hardship
and penury told by the witnesses,
Lieutenant Governor OHara agreed
with Senator Juhl to give 81 each to
sweat shop witnesses because it was
believed that the witnesses would be
| "docked" by their employers for the
time spent before the commission.
The moral obligation Of employers
to make certain that all their employees
are properly clothed and adequately
nourished was emphasized turnout to-
DAVIS session of the commission.
| Agents of the commission TO-DAY
seized the books of Rosenwald Wen,
clothing manufacturers, who failed to
respond to subpoenaes to appear be-
fore the commission.

Chicago, March 31.--Trade prospects
for this week are not easily diagnosed,
but indications are that conditions Will
present another favorable opportunity
for prospective buyers located in sec
lions not seriously hampered by h1gh
waters and crippled rail service to lay
in supplies. Demand from many sec
tons in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
central Illinois and elsewhere Will un-
doubtedly be curtailed, even tho trans
portation facilities are gradually I'M
proving Advices which have been seat
broadcast urging shippers to hold down
supplies for the present will doubtless
be effective in keeping receipts down
somewhat, but with much demand tenn.
porarily cut off, fully enough to satisfy
trade requirements will probably show
up. There is anticipation, however, OF
a right active demand from the west,
brought out by this weeks decline.
Most of the selected stock and feed
ing steers are selling on a basis lo@
csc lower than late last week, but
there have been declines in extremes
Of as much as 40c in the trade during
the last few days on supplies as they
come from the country, AS the mar
ket now stands IS is considered al
outside quotation for choice feeders,
or the classiest grades of selected
steer calves and yearings. Weight
and flesh condition are much less
price determining factors than quality,
and most of the fairly good to choice
600@ pound and feeding steers are
selling from $7.35 @7.65, While plain
class of feeders weighing up to 5000
1000 pounds is going down around $l.2o

finding slow outlet at $6.7517, and
some inferior steers downward from
