BLAMEs LOW WAGES FOR GIRLS
VISITS TO COURT

''Twenty-nine per cent of the girls
in the clothing trades, thirteen per
cent in the department stores, seven
teen per cent in the box factories,
twenty-seven per cent in the candy
trades and Twenty-Five per cent in
the stockyards receive less than SIS
week"
This statement was made by Mrs.
Joseph T. Bowen at a session of the
Social Philanthrophy course of the
Loyola University, held in Schiller
Hall yesterday.
1T has been stated that the lowest
wage on which a girl can live in this
city is $8," Mrs. Bowen continued,
land it is therefore not surprising
that great number of the girls who
come into the courts come there be-
cause of the low wages paid them.
Home conditions are also respon-
sible for many girls being in court.
But when you scratch the social
question, you uncover the question
of industrial conditions and wages.
That is the basis Of the whole social

question. When father and mother
both have to work, the home condi-
tons cannot be the best"
Judge Scully, whose topic was
Women in the Courts" dealt with
the subject from many angles.
1t was his opinion that the light
way in which girls and men regarded
marriage has much to do with the
appearance of women in court, and
he stated that if it lay in his power
he would make it impossible for any
judge or justice of the peace to per-
form the marriage ceremony.
Speaking of the probation problem,
he said:
There is no proper presentation
of well-disposed women in our courts
to lend a helping hand to female
juvenile and adult offenders. Why
this is so, is hard to determine. But
that nothing can be done by mere
man to improve conditions in this re-
gard, where the sisters of the offend
ers wrap their skirts tightly around
them to escape the touch or contain
ination of the offender seems to need
no argument"
Mr.. William Dunno requested the
floor, but was informed the meeting
was not open to any but the selected
speakers.

sat down in front of her machine and

they should be used were indicated on
