PLOT TORAISE PRICES
IS CHARGED AGAINST
STEAM LAUNDRyMEN
Hand Laundrymen Allege They
Are Trying to Force Small
Ones Out of Business.

TO h6 bdftDr OF Tho Evening word!
For the last Ave years a group of
men. owners OF tho steam laundries
Of this city, have endeavored to raise
prices. A concerted effort. about three
years ago, resulted In the greater
number Of the controlled iaundries
raising prices. but II was a failure
because OF the inability to force tho
hand laundries to raise at the same
time.
Since that time II has been the con-
stant effort Of these men to bring the
hand laundries into limo on an agree
Inent to boost the price.
No headway being made, they are
now adopting different tactics. tho net
result to be the total abolishment of
the hand laundrtes. Next week. the
first gun In this campaign will be fred.
Tho Board Of Health will hold a meet =
Ing. at the request Of the steam iaun-
dries. to consider an ordinance for
bidding the use OF nets In laundries.
II this ordinance is passed. II means
the practical extinction of the hand
laundries and a raise all along the line
In prices for the public to pay.
II the washing OF white goods In nets
IL dangerous to the health Of the pub
lie. then the whole system Of steam
laundries is dangerous. II has always
been claimed the boiling Of goods de-
stroyed all germs. therefore the mixing
of different persons linen could not
do harm.
II nets are dangerous, this whole
system Ia dangerous. II boiling In nets
doesn't destroy germs. boiling In =
pocket wheel won't destroy them. To
show you tho solicitation OF the steam
laundries is wholly self-centred, ]
quote you. from their rules: Tho
price OF wet work shall he Ia cents
per pound In nets, no net toy 'Jh
more than 10 pounds, no nets 70 be
received for less than 10 cents" Also.
"An fat work. underwear and outside
sheets Of every description shall be
excluded from nets"

Chesterton's Magic" AZ "Fatty's First

European civilization was founded
on slavery" @. KS brother went
blithely on. "The Church was the
force that put a stop to 1t. not by
directly forbidding II, but by insisting
on the importance of the family. The
Church said that every marriage was
sacred and that tho family Of the
poor man was Just as important az
the family Of the rich man. When
that doctrine was accep ted slavery
was Immediately found not to be
sell husband, wife and children sep
arately, az the demand arose; you
had to put the whole family on the
market, and II didn't pay.
THE next stage was serfdom. The
poor man lived on the land OF the
rich man and paid him tribute. but
the poor man had his wife. his chill
dren. his little home, and no soon
came to feel that he owned the hut
in which he lived and the plot OF land
around II. At least he had the sense
OF property. All this made for tho
safety and solidarity Of the family.
WORK FOR WOMEN ALL RIGHT,
IF IN THE FAMILY.
But in the sixteenth century were
LAID the foundations of the great
properties and the great fortunes.
That was the beginning Of the pro-
letariat; then there were TO be found
numbers Of men without my prop
erty at all. From that time we seern
to have been working for the disinte-
OF propertyless men. who do not even
creased.
The one factor which until
now has held together the family
has been woman. " she 10 forced
into the world and away from her
husband and children, u means
the break up Of the family and
the rsversion to the state Of
slavery. That 10 why ! would

Ches .erton swept on. There the

keeper In his once. When she mar
ries she continues to work. but It Is
for her husband. She has a position
In his business establishment. Al
ways she has the feeling that what
she does IL increasing the prosperity
OF the family"
Personally, l think that being en-
ployed by a member Of ones family
is. to say the least Of II. a bitterly
severe test on employer and en-
ployee. pnt didn't get a chance to
say 10, for Mr.. Chesterton was once
