Other conditions Of an amazing char.

Other conditions Of an amazing char
acter were discovered by the Y. w. y.
A., which has just completed three
months survey Of rooming conditions IN
the central part of Philadelphia. y
In group of thirty houses in the
central part Of the city north OF Mar
ket street, the investigators found that
only four rooms could be had at $3, fve
at So. 80 and others from 81 upr ext
cepting the small room on the top floor
under the leaky roof. ~
"It looks as though there Is leak <
over the bed," protested the investi-
gator.
Dry Spot Somewhere"
"well, anyway, you can push your
bed around IL there is" replied the land
lady. II guess you can find place
swhere it don't leak" tis.
No lock was on the room door, which
was precariously held shut by string
tied to the handle Of the door and
wrapped around n nail in the wall.
Only three of the thirty houses pro-
vided parlors for the entertainment OF
guests. One of these was the enlarged
end of hail. the second an inside room
artifcially lighted and the third was
real parlor and modern home.
The need for the survey was first
] evidenced when last year the \. w. y.
A. report showed that 10000 women
who applied to the organization for res.
idence accommodation had to be turned
away. The association can take care OF
only 457 permanently and the survey
has shown that $685. young women
and girls are living away from home In
this city.
To help meet the needs of growing in
dustrial life in Philadelphia and to see
that women living away from home are
in wholesome surroundings room reg
istry was established the first of the
year by the association.
No house is approved unless it pro-.
vides a parlor for the entertainment OF
guests, and all houses on the registry
are examined from time to time to see
that a high standard is maintained. rs
Included in the plans of the Y w.
G. A. in this connection is business

$50 guests. This hotel will make ade-
quate provision for beau parlors,"
Many Women Workers
For the further protection of the
younger women in the city, the associa-
: ton, because of its limited capacity,
will not permit those earning more than
: 500 a month or those over thirty years
of age to occupy rooms in the Y. w,
G. A. buildings to the exclusion oi
younger women who are receiving less
money.
There are 271 .S04 women workers In
/ this city. according to the survey; one-
fifth of the industrial workers here are
women md 93 $50 women are working
: in factories, an increase of 5000 in
1910 over the previous year. There are
