SEARS-ROEBUCK
YOUNG WORKERS
ARE RESPONSIVE
Ask When the Young
Worker Will be on Sale

"When will the paper be
here?" was the question asked
by many of the young workers
this morning at Sears, Roebuck
& Co. as the members of the
Young Workers League passed
out a Ieaflet advertising the
Young Worker for sale at the
gates today.
Tonight 40 young workers

There are SO mail order houses in
the city Of Chicago, of which Sears
Roebuck & Co. and Montgomery Ward

Co. alone there are about $4,000 peo-
pie employed, most of them being
young workers, and the majority Of
them girls These young workers are
paid the lowest wages of any Of the
youth in the city. In some mailing
order houses the wages for girls are
as low as $1,000 week, and the best
wage Is around $500 to $4,000, most
of them receiving around $140O a
week. The boys fare little better.
getting on an average $500 week
more than the girls. In the smaller
mail order houses the conditions
are even worse than in the large ones.
In Philipsborn's, house that employs
about $4,000 workers, the wages are
about $1,000 for girls, and $14.OO for
boys. Some Of the workers have to
use roller skates in their work.

'CENSURE' ROAD
BUT PUT. BLAME
ON THE WORKERS
Verdict of the Coroner's
Jury Hits TrGinmen

The Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul railroad was severely
censured," by the verdict of the
coroner's jury which has been
inquiring into the causes of the
death of ten people in a trolley
train wreck ten days ago.
Altho a switchman, Mathew
Gaskett, and two subordinate
officials of the company, Will
liam Ingraham and William
Barber were bound over to the
grand jury for manslaughter,
the railroad corporation itself
was let off with Severe CEN
sure"
Hit at Train Crew.
The coroner's jury laid the blame
for the wreck directly to "the care
less and improper management OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail.
road by the trainmen."
The jury declared the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railroad train
crew violated the city ordinances
regulating the size of freight trains
and the use Of conspicuous lights
with the full approval and authority
of the superior officers of the railroad,
some Of whom admitted they did not
know Of these ordinances. No men
ton is made Of these ordinances in
the printed book Of rules distributed
to the train crews"
But altho the general manager of
the railroad, John ]. Gillick, admit
ted he did not know Of these ordin-
ances, Gillick was not held. The
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad was not embarrassed by the
withdrawing committee" as the
coroner's jury is called by reporters,
any more than was necessary.
Denounce IncapacItated Worker.
The jury which called the aged,
one-armed towerman, Brahe, at var.
ious times, "a "drunkard" and a
moron" called Brahe both yester-
day. stating he had "imbibed intoxi.
eating liquor and is mentally subnor.
NAL and physically disabled"
The officials OF the railroad who
hired Brahe are censured by the jury
and legislation requiring mental and
physical tests of towermen is recon
mended. There is no recommends
/ ton that the wages of towermen
from $50 to $50 a month, be raised
to secure better efficiency.
The employees of the railroad are
blamed and the directors and stock
holders of the company are allowed
to go free. Such collision could
not have happened without negli
gence on the part Of employees, either
of the street car or the railroad, .
said the jury. They evaded the adj
mitted fact that the management OF
the railroad has approved the viola
ton Of city ordinances in the running
Of their trains, and has paid tow
ermen the lowest possible wages.
Against Track Elevation.
City Engineer John Ericsson told the
jury just before the verdict that IL
was not possible to elevate the rail.

The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad is thus spared by the city

brain elves up sIah.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-Altho James
A. Drain, commander Of the American
Legion issued a stament here yester.
day on Armistice day, nobody has
been able to understand it.
Drain quite truthfully said "a sigh
of relief went around the world"
when the armistice was signed six
years ago, he even said that killing
was the most abominable of all le-
galized business" But when he be-
gan to say what should be done
about it he became incoherent.
Drain said that the day should be
dedicated to peace" It is suspected
that he is becoming infected with pa
cifism in spite of the "Americaniza-
ton program" spread over the coun.
try by the organization of which he is
the national commander. Pacifsts
are very insidious.
AS to the means Of attaining world
peace, Drain advocated international
justice" How this is to be attained
except by proletarian revolution he
did not say. In fact upon this point
he became as vague as an anarcho
syndicalist discussing revolution. He
said Justice must be automatic" A
most amazing solution. Altho he
added that world court must be
erected, no one can see how that
would be automatic, except in
making war as it so far has done.

Paris Gives Minute.

PARIS, Nov 11.--Imperialist France
spent one whole minute today think
ing about the occasion. Of the armistice
six years ago. President Doumergue
was driven down to the "arch Of
triumph" under which rest the bones
of Frances unknown soldier" There
he took off his silk hat and held it
reverently over his bullying stomach,
registering sorrow at the only place
he has any feelings.
The unknown soldier made no OBJ
lection, tho it is a persistent rumor
that 1t was a German soldier and not
''poilu" who was buried and homaged
by France. The soldiers who were not
yet dead we're lined up along the
Champs Elysees, infantry, cavalry
artillery. marines and guards.
The supply Of prospective unknown
soldiers" is reasonably plentiful. How
ever, as French workers are growing
increasingly radical, the government
is pressing its program for forming

colonials to hold down the native
