CATTLE TENDERS
STRIKE In CHICAGO
With 1,500 Men Out, Packers
Fear Spread to Other
Unions.

CHICAGO. May Cattle ship
ments and the meat supply will be
retarded tomorrow by strike of
1900 livestock handlers employed by
the stockyards company. The men
went out at midnight Saturday re-
fusing to accept a wage cut of s
cents an hour. Trouble is expected
at the yards and the growth of this
into a general tie-up resulting from
pay cuts is predicted.
The strikers are the men who un-
load all the cars and food, water
and mind the cattle pending pur-
chase When they quit work it
means a congestion of cars on the
yards tracks.
Three hundred strike breakers
had been employed today to take the
places CT the men who are out and
II was reported that more men
would be on the job tomorrow.
Packing house officials admitted
reluctantly that this may be che
forerunner of strike of much
greater proportions. 4 number of
union men. employed in various
branches of the stockyards are
known to be considering refusal of
pay cuts that are being put into ef-
feet, and II is believed this strike
may touch them off.

Daugherty Agrees to Create
Bureau for Missing Women
District Policewoman Chief Says There Are
10000 Girls Roaming About United States
Without Home Ties.

Americas port of missing wom-
en-" is the. harbor today of more
than 10000 human derelicts. From
coast to coast these feminine wan
derers wend their way, theirs home
ties severed, their movements a
mystery.
The women-most of them are
really giris-form the major num-
Der Of the $4,000 missing persons in
the United States today.
Mrs. Nina c. Van Wrinkle. who.
with the rank of lieutenant. heads
the women police of Washington.
Is authority for these statements.
So serious has the situation become,
according to Lieut.. Van Wrinkle, that
she has appealed to Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty to establish a bu-
reau of missing persons under the
Department OF Justice. What's
more, the woman police lieutenant
asserts. she has obtained Daugh-
erty's promise that he will recon-
mend the money for its establish
ment.
Leave Their Homes.
Who are these missing girls,
where do they come from and what
are they doing? Mrs. Van Wrinkle
answered the question.
Some of them no longer have
homes" she said. They have left
them for good. Others, who have
more recently deserted their homes
and would be welcomed back, refuse
TO go. Perhaps they are stubborn,
or are ashamed TO admit the error
OF their ways by returning. They
may be welded to what they con-
SIDE the gay life of the cities, or
perhaps they are attached to men.
In our police department here
We continually receive requests to
search for girls who have abandoned
their homes in all parts of the
United States. Similar requests are
received in the police departments
of all the metropolitan centers.
"Official reports from Los Angeles
declare there are 500 girls missing
from that city. The number is Sc
large because of girls who are lured
to the California city by promise OF
fame in the movies. Their dreams
shattered. they disappear, wander
'nG wherever the fates direct
them"
y particularly tragic feature OF
the situation. according to Mrs. Van
Wrinkle. is the fact that half of the
girls arc not more than l6 or II
years old.

become criminals, and most of then
become sex offenders to q greater or
less degree" Mrs. Van Wrinkle con-
tinued. But II. Is wrong to assume
that they are all ignorant, or Of the
moron type. as popularity supposed.
Many Of them are women with COL
lege eduaations.
"It is a curious thing-the COM
parison Of crime between boys and
girls. Boys are led into crime by
the lure of adventure. One boy
we handled recently POSSESSED a
passion for driving automobiles. He
stole three cars that he might have
the thrill of driving them. Finally,
we got i'm a job as chauffeur and
he's been good ever since.
IT'S different with girls. Their
entry into crime is generally trace
able to a mans influence. They may
steal for the love of a man; they
wish to impress him by wearing
attractive clothes. Or they may
have left home because they
thought. once, when a man said he
loved. that. he meant it"
And the women with male ac-
completes will lie, go TO any lengths
to protect the man, according to
Mrs. Van Wrinkle. But the men
aren't SO loyal to the women, she
added.
Fraudulent Movies
Fraudulent movie concerns. prom
Using girls fame and fortune. are
responsible for the beginning of
much female waywardness. Mrs.
Van Wrinkle said.
These concerns may be found in
nearly all the large cities" she
said, with ads in the local papers.
We discovered one in Washington.
We sent five of our police girls. in
plain clothes. to apply for movie
roles, but the manager told them,
one after another. that they
wouldn't do. Finally. we chose a
large girl. one who does the rough
work in shoplifting cases. The
movie magnate' said she'd do.
He locked her in the room and be-
gan making advances to her. She
pulled her gun and now he's under
arrest awaiting trial.
