HARVESTER co. IN
A WAGE INCREASE

Chicago, March 21.-Clarence S.
Funk, general manager of the Inter
national Harvester company, announo.
ed yesterday that the proposed in,
crease in wages of 500 women and
girls to a minimum of sS-the first con-
crete result of the white slavery sena-
torial investigation-had led the COM
pany to plan a raise in the salaries OF
700 other female employees.
I'VE found by investigation that the
women and girls who already were
getting So would expect to be paid
more than green hands, who formerly
were getting Sc and who will now get
a minimum wage of So" said Mr.. Funk.
This will result in a horizontal gradu-
ated increase which will affect prac-
tically every woman and girl in our
employ. Instead of merely raising the
wages of 500 it means that $500 will
be benefited by the new rule.
"The new pay schedule will go into
effect Monday. 1t will cost the Inter.
udllOudl harvester COIipdhy dDOut
SIS, 900 annually to put through this
scheme. At present the lowest priced
girls in our employ get $6. Even the
most ignorant and unskilled of the for
eign girls are never paid less than
that
I'VE consider So a living wage for a
girl, whether living at home or not; il
makes no difference Our welfare
workers have been studying this ques
ton for several months and decided
that So was about right. OF course il
Illineis should pass a minimum wage
| law making s12 the legal wage we
would at once give the girls another
raise.
This increase is in line with ouI
i policy to better the conditions of our
| employees as much as possible. We al
ready have granted them Saturday af
/ ternoon holidays the year round and
abolished night work for women and
girls. Engineers are now working or
various devices to remove dust from
! workrooms."
/ The new wage schedule will affec'
directly about 700 girls in the Chicago
( twine. canvas, and core mills of the
/ International Harvester company. The
{ balance are employed at the Auburn

Washington Society Ma
irons Called by Vice
Probing Body.
DRINKING AND SMOKING
Effect of EXCeSSeS by Wealthy
Upon Working Girls of the
Country TO Be Learned.

Washington, March 21.-The effect
of cocktail drinking, cigaret smoking
and the other aristocratic excesses of
high society, as an example for the
working girls of the country, will be
discussed in the public hearing which
the Illinois senate white slave commits
sion will hold here tomorrow after
noon.
Invitations have been sent by the
commission to leaders of Washington
society, asking them to attend the
hearing and express their views. The
list of those invited includes:
Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth.
Mrs. Preston Gibson, Mrs. Edison Brad
ley, Mrs. Hennen jennings, Miss Kath
crime Jennings, Mrs. Robert Patterson,
the Countess Gizycka, Mrs. Christian
Hemmick, Nine. Havenith, the wife of
the Belgian minister; Nine. Riano, the
wife of the Spanish minister. Mrs
Hunt Slater, Mrs. Huntington Wilson,
and Mrs. Murray Crane
In its hearing in Illinois, the com
mission heard the heads of department
stores and their employees, and dis
cussed with them the subject of low
wages for women and its relation to
the white slave traffic.
SOCIAL QUESTIONS ISSUE.
This question will be barely touched
on by the commission in it's inquiry
here. There are no factories here and
the working girl problem in Washing
ton is not nearly so acute as in other
cities. On account, however, of the
fact that Washington is considered the
social center of the country, the COM
mission believes it to be the best field
for an inquiry as TO the extent to
which the example set by society wo-
men may be considered a temptation
to working girls.
These are the things to which the
commission will give most of its ate
tention:
Drinking, smoking, extreme and ex-
pensive gowns. late suppers, costly
furs, jewels, freak parties, and eccen-
tric dances
The commission will inquire also
whether in the opinion of the society
leaders, they would not be doing a dis
tinct public service if they were to
moderate their conduct and their ex-
penditures for personal adornment
TO DISCUSS DIVORCE.
The inquiry will be extended also to
cover the effects of the divorce evil
on the white slave traffic, and the opin-
ions of the society witnesses will be
asked on this subject
1t is not known yet who will agree
to appear as Witnesses. There is some
possibility that members of President
Wilson's family will attend and listen
to the testimony. Miss Jessie Wilson
is interested in the working girl prob
lem and Mrs. Wilson, wife Of the
president, has just become a member
Of the Woman's Welfare department
of the National Civic Federation.
The Illinois commission will be re-
ceived by President Wilson tomorrow
at noon and will discuss with him the
work IL is doing 1t will ask him to
urge the enactment of minimum wage
legislation and to call conference Of
governors Of the states to agree on a
plan to better present conditions.
The hearing will be attended by a
score of ministers school officials. a
dozen members Of civic associations
and many society women other than
those whose names have been already
given.

RECLAMATION FOR THE OHIO.

Champ Clark has introduced bill
which contemplates building levees
along the banks of the Ohio River.
The Ohio, in recent years, has been
overfowing upon the slightest provo
cation. All the timber land along the
Ohio and its tributaries has been clear
ed and millions of acres of low lands
have been reclaimed by drainage. The
water which falls on the Ohio water
shed no longer seeps into the ground,
but runs off Immediately, so that the
Ohio is more like a creek than a river.
1t overfows whenever there is a
heavy rain.
The property loss of few floods
such as occurred along the Ohio last
spring would soon equal the cost of
constructing levees along the entire
length of the river

THE COLLEGE MANS RELIGION.

1t is sometimes claimed that col
lege education makes for an abandon
ment of religion Statistics printed
in last weeks Independent show that
this theory is not true.
In a survey made recently, accord
ing to this weekly, IS per cent of the
men claimed to be Christians,
using their own Interpretation of
the term. Seventy-five per cent
are members of some church and
66 per cent attend church fairly regu-
larly.
1t is notable that atheism has prac-
tically disappeared among college stu
dents. Agnosticism is practically gone
too. The views of the students show
an intelligent study of religious ques-
tions. A large percentage of the stu
dents hold to the newer interpreta,
ton of the Bible, namely, that it is an
inspired book, taken as whole, but
that it is not literally true in all re-
spects. Rather the spirit is to be con-
sidered. they think.

INDIAN SUMNER.

Four months ago we could well
sing Whats so rare as a day in
June?' That was timely then. It's
very true too, but not altogether so.
Let's not forget our luxurious Indian
summer which reaches Missouri in
October.
Mark Twain was once asked in what
cline in all the world he would rather
live. He replied without hesitation
that he would be happy to pass all his
days in an Indian summer in Missouri.
Hark to the statement of man who
had travelled in all parts of the world.
Does his taste not carry weight?
So let's drink to the dregs the hap
piness of living in this wonderful state
in this wonderful season of the year.
Indian summer is here. Let's enjoy
it. There are richly colored trees and
vegetation, the rose-tinted sunset, the
frosty air, the migrating birds-scores
of things to make life enjoyable.

GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT.

Did you ever notice that the stand
ard excuse of the man who conducts a
theater where salacious acts are given,
is that he must give the people what
they want" in order to make living?
Then again, did you ever notice in
one of those cheap entertainment
houses that every city and town sup
ports, that the acts that relieve the
most applause are the ones that come
nearest to showing some little talent,
whose songs are tuneful and pretty
and whose jokes are funny but not
smutty? The act that, measured by
any and all standards, comes nearest
to approaching the artistic and classi-
cal is the one that receives the curtain
calls. The suggestive dances and
coarse jokes fall fiat beside such an
attempt.
Why not give the people what they
want
