MANY GIRLS GET
BUT S. A WEEK
WOMEN RECEIVE NINE
Illinois Legislature Conducting Probe
Into Working Conditions i'm Chica-
gO-California Will Probably Start
Investigation AlSo-Store Heads
Testify.

Chicago, March 7.-Before a room
filled to the doors with Legislators
and social workers, the probe of the
Illinois senate committee into the
white slave and starvation wage con-
ditions, was resumed today at the La
Sale Hotel. Testimony from the
heads Of department stores and mail
order houses, summoned to tell of the
wages paid by them, is expected to oc-
cupy today and tomorrow.
Nineteen persons, prominent in the
redlight district have been summoned
to testify next week. In addition to
these Alderman "Hinkey Dink" Kenna
and "Bathhouse John" Coughlin will
be asked to tell what they know of
the operations of segregated vice.
julius Rosenwald, head of the mail
order house of Sears Roebuck, testi-
fled that his company employs four
thousand and seven hundred women
at an average wage weekly of nine
dollars and twelve cents. Girls under
sixteen receive the minimum wage of
five dollars. He stated that a hun
dred and nineteen girls get five dollars
and nearly fifteen hundred women
get not less than eight. He added,
I'VE make it point to ask the women
employees whether they live at home
We don's employ women and girls not
living at home at less than eight dol
lars a week"
II was a member of the Chicago
vice commission and attended its
meetings. At those meetings it was
declared that low wages caused i'm
morality among women" said Rosen-
wald. He declared the commission's
report was never published because
it was obtained in confidence.
A flat refutation of Rosenwald's
testimony was given by a girl en-
ploye who stated she worked over ten
hours for four dollars and fifty cents
week Another girl swore "scold-
ers'' were employed and the girls
regularly threatened with dismissal.
San Francisco, March "A state
wide investigation by the California
legislature of the wages paid to wo-
men and girls in department stores
and other industries and as to whether
the victims of low wage scales are
forced to Immortality to sustain life,
will be proposed by Senator Grant of
San Francisco when the Legislature
convenes after March tenth.
Aroused by the revelations made by
the Illinois senatorial investigation
into wages and conditions and their
relation to immortality, coincident with
the publication of Labor Commission
e, McLaughlin's report showing that
thousands of women and girls in Cali
fornia are paid extremely low wages
Grant declared, a thorough probs
seems imperative.

PAUPERS WILL BE
BURIED FOR I CENT

If you die a pauper in Pendleton
during the next year, you can have
a decent burial for one cent. The
statement is literally true and results
from little war among the under
takers. At the session of the county
court yesterday afternoon, John Ba-
ker of the Baker furniture store, sub
mitted a sealed bid of one cent bu-
rial for all paupers dying in Pendle-
ton or at the county poor farm and
inasmuch as his bid was s11.49 lower
than that of j. T. Brown, the court
accepted it and entered into con-
tract with him.
BY the contract BAKER agrees to
provide at each burial good hard
wood coffin and box, a suit of under
wear "a pair of socks or stockings,
and burial robe all for one cent. In
case the pauper dies outside the city
or poor farm, extra charges to cover
the additional costs are to be made.
The new contract means a saving
to the county of S29,99 on each pau
per burial for it has cost $50 hereto
fore.
However. with the advent of a new
furniture and undertaking parlor
competition of no mild nature has
been aroused. When Postmaster j
T Brown, who is starting the new
parlors, sought to get the county
business, a call for pids resulted, anC
Baker submitted the smallest posi-
BILE bid.
The only way in which the success
full bidder can profit on his county
business is by holding a body unit
some relative or friend is found whC
is willing to defray the costs of {
more pretentious interment. Thi
sometimes happens, in which case thu
undertaken is not bound to bury thu
body on the county's allowance.

Apples" etc.
Its the package that sells the
fruit" said l.. NJ. Brown, secretary OF

ing and call attention to the fruit as
