 My Dear Governor Strong:
 We ure considerably disturbed over Che probability of a stampede of la boring men to Alaska seeking worl, lon the new railroad As you will see by Secretary Lanes announcement. we expect to do our work this season mostly with station mon, with a few additional ones employed directly by the government. do not expect we will need 100 or 800 all told. These, lpresume, we can mostly find In Al aska. lt certainly would be dis aster to have large numbers Of men flock to the Territory expecting to find work on the railroad and, fail ing in that not have means to get away. | anu sure you win be as anx ious to avoid this as we are and will use your influence to prevent 1t. II at any time we are short of laborers I presume we can easly set them by advertising.

Letters from girls employed in
stores and shops describing their wage
conditions were read at the hearing.
One girl wrote:

years, and never got an increase"
Another girl wrote: 81 am without

was due solely to individual charac.

APROPOS OF LOW
WAGES AND MORALS

While it would never do for the
ruling and befuddling class to admit
that the system that favors them
ruins the workers whom they misedu-
cate and exploit, nevertheless, their
bluffs at "fair-mindedness" and ''hon.
est investigation" often result in turn
ing the light of knowledge into some
pretty dark regions. Here are some
examples; think them over.
On page %, the report of the Pitts
burg Morals Efficiency Commission
says:
Too great emphasis is usually laid
upon the influence of women's low
wages in promoting the tendency to
vice. Then figures are furnished to
prove that the vast majority of prosti-
tutes received low wages and come
from poor parents.
Next the report (page 800 says
mo woman can sincerely say she was
driven to life of shame by low
wages and the high cost of living
when there are hundreds of homes
unable to secure help, where she
could have earned board and lodging
and SIS to So a week besides" Yet
(page 29) figures are given to show
that out of sos prostitutes, 1863, or a
full third, had been in domestic
service.
And later, on pages 39-4O, the res
cue homes are mentioned which fit
fallen women for domestic service
Have reformers no sense of humor
Finally out of 531 prostitutes there
were only two freethinkers Doesn't
it beat all how free thought fosters
immortality?

@. In 1918 we organized farmers
telephone company, and in due time
made arrangements with a certain
telephone company for exchange serV-
Ice. Shortly after representative Of
the said company called upon few
members In our company and got them
to sign a contract, naming rate Of SO
per year for central service. ma
lority Of the members In our company
were not given a chance to sign the
contract but have since been charged
$3.50 per year for exchange service.
We protested to the officials of the
said company against this discrimina-
ton In rates, but we're informed that
the rate is fixed by the public service
commission. VIII you kindly Inform
us through the Washington Socialist
whether or not the Sherman anti
trust law prohibits the granting Of
rebates and preferential rates by any
corporation handling public utility2
e. II. e.
A. The Sherman antitrust law does
not touch this case at all, However
the laws of this state make the giving
of such rebates and preferential rates
gross misdemeanor.

@. viii you please tell me If the
law can prevent a fellow from catch
ina fish for his own use with set
net in closed river, or is this river
(the StiIlasuamish) closed so we are
not allowed to catch fish with a net
at all? j. h.
A. In the fish code we find the
following: provided, that nothing in
this act or any other act shall pre-
vent any person residing in this state
from taking salmon or other fish by
any means at any time for consump-
ton by himself and family" But, 10
and behold, now comes the city sports
game law and says: Nets of any dis
cription being used in any Of the fresh
waters of this state above tide water
are hereby declared and are a public
nuisance, etc" Also the supreme
court has handed down a decision up
holding this provision of the game
law. However, this law does not pre-
vent you from taking salmon with a
net for your own use as far up the
river as the tide makes itself felt.
Further up than that it is a INSIDE

SEES EVIL IN LOW WAGES

Miss Josephine Goldmark, of the
National Consumers league, said that
it was matter beyond question that
the low wages undermined the morals
of the workers. She said that she
was surprised when she saw so many
of them good under the circumstances.
She thought it was foolish to talk of
efficient living on Sc week.
DR.. Henry Seager, professor Of
political economy in Columbia uni
versity believed that if there was to
be minimum wage law it should ap-
ply to men as we'll as women and
minors
DR.. Edward T. Devine, of the school
of philanthropy, was on the stand for
short time and was followed by
Miss Mary Van Kleeck, who made an
investigation for the commission a
short time ago. She advocated the
establishment by law or otherwise of
minimum wage boards. She thought
woman should not be paid less than
SO a week. Very low wages led to
a lower moral tone among the work
ers, she said
At the request of Miss Charlotte
Bangs, writer girl was put on the
stand who said she had been for many
years working in store at $3.50 a
week, sometimes working 10 and u
hours day. Girls were insulted at
times, she said, and the conditions
tended to bring about immortality

source | gathered that there are TO-

in this city. From another that there
are $4,000 girl clerks of department
stores walking New York's grim
pavements in search of work.
Elizabeth butcher, of the Retail

"In normal times 100000 clerks are

of these are idle now, as the stores
laid off hundreds of employees in No

biologists for shouting about immoral
ity among saleswomen."
"The better class saleswoman," said

| talk about immortality and all that sort
of thing. These so-called social work
ers who make breaks about the poor.
downtrodden shop girl mostly don't
know what they are talking about.
Such talk has a very bad moral eff
feet"
All OF which amounts to about this:
There are many girls and women
working in retail stores in New York,
as elsewhere who are either wholly
or in part supported by members of
their own family, their own wages
going mostly for the purchase of fash
ionable clothing and befeathered
creations" for their hatracks. These
constitute the Swell dressers" of the
department stores, and other shops
where stylish apparel lends dignity to
the establishment at no extra expense
to the boss. These ladies" who work
only for pin money, finery, etc, are
"the better class saleswomen" re-
ferred to by Mrs Maud Flowerton To
lump these darlngs of fortune in with
the "worser" class of saleswomen,- 49,
they who work to earn bread and
coal-oil- indeed outrageous! Why
should the question of immortality"
be raised in connection with their
Tow wages? Why, indeed II any
such are given to fornication. it's not
a question of low wages with them,
but more likely of high living, or fly
ing, not of necessity. Besides, it's no
business OF those interfering reform.
ers, economists and sociologists." any
way. Such talk about low wages and
the temptation to supplement the
weekly wage Of Sc by other means
should be discouraged 1t may be all
right as applied to the Clover class of
saleswomen," they who work for bread
rather than feathers, but the investi-
cation Is too inclusive; 1t fails to take
account of the better class" the vol
untary wage slaves, for revenue only.
It's positively shocking, and may have
bad effect on the (marriage) market.
DOESN'T LIKE MINIMUM WAGE
LAW NEITHER
Mrs. Flowerton said she was oppos-
ed to a minimum wage law, also. Any
woman who has to be even a "better
class" saleswoman and bear up under
the name of Flowerton, even if it is
Maud Flowerton, might well shrink
from a cruel minimum wage law
Gracious! If poor girls who have
