THE INDIVIDUALS who compose

THE INDIVIDUALS who compose
the firm of Sears, Roebuck are un
doubtedly classed as good men,"
and as men are usually judged, this
classification is with equal certainty
correct. So no doubt are the other
men who run and operate the big de-
partment stores Of Chicago The re-
cent probing into their business affairs
and the laying bare Of their treatment
of their girl employees, would indicate
at first glance that they were cruel,
cold -blooded, inhuman, But Is this the
case? Are they to blame for the con-
ditions shown TO exist in their big es-
tablishments or are we the American
people to blame? There can be but
one answer, and that is that the blame
lies at our own doors. These men are
what business conditions have made
them. They are conducting their busi-
ness along the same lines as all other
business in this country is conducted
that is to get the most out of It posi-
BILE. That their especial business has
come into the limelight is not because
1t is worse in its treatment of employees
than are others, but because from It's
very nature, the young girl element is
more numerously employed in that bu,
siness than any other.
sears-Roebuck employ something
over 5000 girls, many of whom receive
less than 81 week, but how many, OF
Just how small the pay, the witnesses
failed to state. Edward Hillman, an
other millionaire department store
J owner, testified that he employed 1871
