DEPARTMENT STORE BOSSES FIND NEW GAME
TO IMPLICIT HARDSHIPS ON SHOP GIRLS

percentage of their days salary for
amusement and become subject to
the insults of flirts by loafng either
in the st6res or in movie" theaters.
Whatever they do to pass away the
time in the loop they can get no rest.
The Fair and the Boston Store try
the same stunt. Some of the girls
start to work at II a. m. and are
through at II p. m. But to get down
to the 10-hour law they are given two
45-minute meal periods and two 10
minute periods for rest.
Nelson received complaints from
several girls that they are not able
to get out of the store until 11:3O
D. m. because of the inadequately
small cloak rooms. The stores give
the girls as little room as possible for
their clothes. They are forced to
form in lines when they go for their
coats. By the time the end of the
lines are reached it is close to mid
night. But they are through work
at IL o'clock, the store bosses argue.
So the law is unable to reach the
owners.
A score of women's clubs, led by
the Chicago Woman's club, the Con-
sumers' league and the Woman's City
club, are making a fight for more
stools for the girls. The State St.
Merchants assn is opposing them.
The department store bosses ar
que that they lose business if, the
girls are allowed to sit down during
working hours. They say customers
won't buy from a girl sitting down;
that she gives the impression of not
earring to be disturbed"
After the holidays the women plan
an educational compaign to get the
people of Chicago interested in the
need for stools for the girls who are
now forced to stand up al day.

ment stores in the treatment of the
employees by the millionaire owners.
This year, however, afraid of State
Factory Oscar F. Nelson, the bosses
have worked out a. cunning plan to
remain within the ten-hour law for
women workers..
Nelson has taken personal charge
of the investigation of the State
street stores which begun about a
week ago. So far no actual viola
tons of the law have been discovered.
But stunning game that produces
just as much hardship to the girls
has been uncovered. .
The latest scheme tried out by the
merchant princes to extract the max
imum amount of work from the girls
is the split-time system, that has
been tried by sweatshop owners.
The Fair, Hillman's and the Boston
Store (the latter owned by MoIlie
Netcher Neuberger, who was a shop
girl once herself) seem to be the
hardest in their treatment of their
girl employees. But all of them, re-
AhCh4DCAAu5 4uSpOClO4 .ANC4oO4 VI O4A5
are careful to observe the law.
At Hillman's the cashiers have to
be in the store at 8:15 a. m, to be
ready for work at $780, At 1890
p. m. they are relieved. At 6 p. m.
they return and work until long
after the store closes, the customers
are all out and the stock is taken
care of.
Most of the girls live miles from
the store. Nelson pointed out to
Manager Hit that these girls had to
get up about 6 a. m. in order to dress,
eat breakfast and be at the store by
8:15. ct will be remembered that

late are fned)
After 1890 they must eat lunch.
They hardly have sufficient time to
go home and rest after that. Nelson

Ideal Mountain Climbing

From The Call of the Mountains" by
LIE Roy letters, FIR. G.S.. in the Serb
ner.
In my travels none has proven more
fascinating field from the alpinists point
of view than have the Rocky mountains
and the Selkirks of British Columbia.
Here is still a paradise for the explorer
that is married only by the far too brief
summers and by the frequent seasons in
which high ascents are prevented by con-
tinuous storms. However, one may find
among these snow-clad mountains, gla
ciers, waterfalls and lakes one of the
most delightful regions on the continent
and one which will be increasingly visited
as chalets and huts are provided for the
tourist and the mountaineer. Important
in the development of this country is the
work of the Alpine club in Canada. Its
clubhouse is located at Banff and its out
irgs are held at various points In the
mountains convenient for climbing.
Around it's campfire often gather those
who are to penetrate unexplored regions
or to make a first ascent Of some sum-
NIT of the range.
At the clubhouse on the slopes of Sui
phur mountain read the Alpine Journal
while it rained almost continuously for a
week. Then of glorious morning. when
all the peaks glistened in a new snow, I
started with Mr.. H. o.. Frind and the
famous guide Conrad Kahn for the con-
quest Of new submits in the Assiniboine
district. We had chosen to follow Healy

creek. How our horses came down its
precipitous wall without the whole out
