LOW WAGES PRINCIPAL
CAUSE OF IMMORTALITY

SPRINGFIELD, Il.-Poverty is the
principal cause of immortality, the
minimum wage for girls and women
is fixed at So a week, and unequal
conditions of domestic employment
render the home, in many cases, a
breeding place of commercialized vice,
according to the Illinois senate white
slave investigation committees report,
made public last night, when formally
presented to the state senate.
Industrial oppression of the hapless
is declared by the report to be direct
~ responsible for a large part Of ex-
listing immortality Thousands of girls,
it says, as driver into prostitution
because of the sheer inability to keep
body and soul together On the low
wages received by them"
The system of domestic employment
in America is condemned In positive
terms. "Unregulated conditions of
domestic employment, uncertain hours,
absence of definite social status and
lack of creative opportunities render
the home, in many cases, for the wom-
en-, servants breeding place Of immOr-
slity," says the commissions report
