Dance Hall Ref orl,,
TO Protect Girls
League in Campaign, I,lsists
Hiring Feminine Tutors,
Who Are Susceptible TO
Gifts, Must Be Stopped

A campaign for bettering conditions
in New York dance halls is we'll under
way as part Of the work Of the Girls'
Protective League, according to state
rnent from the league made yesterday.
The systom of employing young girls
to net as dancing 'sinstructresscs is
one Of the most pernicious features Of
the public darce resorts to-day. nc
cording to Miss Stella Miner. secre-
tary Of the league.
You can see for yourself what
there is against many of the public
Miner yesterday. "Thcy nre literally
thrust under our noses, in most Of the
cases OF unfortunate girls we try to
help. When girl takes q place as an
instructress,' she is paid only a few
cents dance. She meets all kinds Of
men and women. Some of the women
arc as dangerous companions as the
men.

tips are gifts Of clothes---especiall

leads back to the dance hall. When
we start looking for runaway girls we
always make a round Of such places,
The association met by any girl who
goes to the dance hall for amusement
Is dangerous, to say the least, whether
she is an sinstructress' or not
In trying to cope with these dam
gers, the league has q number of work
ers who make unofficial visits Of in
spection. The older members Of the
Girls. Service Club, at 1873 East Nine
teenth Street and 381 East Sixty
eighth Street, are enlisted to help in
the campaign.
Miss Miner said that it was not the
intention of the league to work FOR the
abolition of dance halls. She would
rather see that the owners and mana
gers of resorts where conditions are
bad do not receive licenses; that in
all halls there should be proper super
vision, and that the custom Of employ
ing girls as tutors at few cents q
dance be abandoned.
Under the Gothic law. restaurants,
tesrooms and other places where puk-
!ic dancing is carried on will be sub
5ect to license. In addition the new
| act provides for the regulation Of
dances and balls given in licensed halls
and for the granting of permits to
clubs, societies or organizations CIV
| ing affairs. The changes in the law
are responsible for the renewed inter
est in dance hall reforms. Among the
other organizations interested in the
problem is the Committee on Recrea-
tlon OF the Women's City Club.

ulate as to what particular cases
may arise under them.
SO far none OF the invited nations
has replied formally to the sugges.
ton. but officials are understood &c
have received encouraging reports
Of the reception Of the list abroad
IL was drawn up on the basis OF
extensive informal exchanges on
views among the Interested govern
ments.
The American communication has
not been made public here, and
those ir charge OF the negotiations
are declining to reveal It's contents
pending definite agreement on the
final list which will comprise the
text and limitations OF the delibera-
tions OF the conference. II Is the be-
lief here that such an agreement
will be possible despite the short
time remaining before the foreign
delegations start for the United
States.
By the device OF avoiding mention
OF specific controversial cases Of

American suggestion is understood tf

Along with the policy Of China's
integrity II Is believed the American
Government Is ready 20 include In
the list such other subjects as extra
territorial rights in China, the Siber-
ian situation and problems OF the
Pacific Islands.
Such a plan is in keeping with the
oft-enunciated purpose OF the
American Government to keep the
scope OF the conference as broad as
practicable and thus forestail the
possibility that some one OF the par
ticipants may tie its hands In ad-
vance OF the conference in regard to
specific controversial cases. IL Is
argued also tha the scheme OF per-

now are under negotiation and may
be settled before the delegates as
