But there's one thing that is stop
ping the corporation politicians, who
are afflicted with timid hearts. That
is the big labor convention held in
Springfield, to which came earnest
men and women workers from all
over the state. The parade they held
in Springfield the day of the open

pressfve not to cause a chill of fear
to travel up and down the spines of
the politicians with leaning toward
the bosses. y

A CRISIS
After the approval of the minimum
wage for women bill by a joint COM
mittee of the senate committee on
labor and the house committee on
industrial affairs, Big Business
began a bitter fight to kill the bill be-
fore it can reach the floor for an open
vote. -
The Associated Employers of Hi
nois,, with offices at 1915 City Hall
Square budg., sent thousands ofslet-
tiers to employers all over the state
urging them to get to the representa-
tives from the various districts and
impress on them the necessity of kill
ing bills which would grant decent
conditions to the working girls of Hli-
nois.

Last night before the joint COM
mittee Taylor, who is also remember

two hours in an effort to kill the
minimum wage bill.
Around Springfield there are heard
threats of Big Business turning and
taking a bite out of legislators who
vote to encourage the minimum wage
bill. The rumors are growing into a
rumble and appear to be showed along
by senators and representatives who
are known to be corporation men.
