did not make much Roadway in estab-
fishing a higher wage scale, but gave
more attention to the quality and
amount of material to be used in COM
pleting a job
Details of the organization were
not explained at length. And unless
some Of the old timers come to our
rescue the achievements Of the organ
ization will probably never be brought
to light, as the ancient files Of U
bana and Champaign newspapers are
silent on the question Of Organized
Labor.
A New York dispatch says that
girls who are employed at SD to slo
week must pay at least So of their
wages for a decent room. The dis
patch comes from the Association 10
Promote the Better Housing of Girls.
No comment is made on the conditions
of young women who are compelled
to labor for less than the above
sums.
The investigation showed, however,
that none of the girls drawing Sl5
and SIS a week were living in such
quarters as the Association recon-
mended. They were found to be liv-
ing in 81 and So rooms.
Even So a week for a room is too
much for a girl who is drawing S15
to SIS a week." the dispatch said.
And a further statement declared that
rooms at the So figure We're rapidly
diminishing.
food, clothing and doctors bills
must come out of girls wages and
nothing is left for recreation"
According to the housing associa-
ton there are 25,363 self-supporting
girls between the ages of Is and 20 in
New York who have no permanent
homes. Only q per cent are accom-
modated in permanent homes.
One day RECENTLY two widely dis
similar items appeared in New York
newspaper. The first told of fif-
teen year old girl working in a de-
partment store for $l1 a week on
which she was attempting to support
herself, a consumptiye father, blind
mother and four younger brothers
and sisters.
The other item told of the rise in
stocks which had increased the wealth
of Mr.. Rockefeller $50,000,000 within
a few days. Isn't civilization wonder
full? (EXchange).
The editor recently made business
anll II, tnt, fI.ayi,, ffiity ntftnn and
found typist crying and an employer
scolding.
The girl was not doing her work to
suit a boss who is drawing approx
mately $75 a week while she cannot
be getting over $50.
Bishop Brown, ousted, Forgiyes
Them ALP reads the headline refer
ring to the trial of an aged Episcopal
bishop who was condemned for here
teal teachings.
The bishop, before being ousted,
addressed large congregation of his
fellow clergymen in Cleveland, OHIO,
and vindieated his appeal for Modern
ism in the church on the ground that
scientific fact, unknown to the apos-
ties and writer's of Scripture, had
proven the Virgin Birth myth and
the Resurrection of Jesus an impossl-
bility. The bishop had published his
beliefs in a book entitled: "Commun-
ism and Christianity
The bishop held out for spiritual
Interpretation of many of the ancient
doctrines of the church, declaring that
the church would either have to give
up the literal interpretations or die a
natural death.
Few persons are interested in a
heresy trial or have any very clear
conception of what it is all about.
No one can explain the Virgin Birth,
the Resurrection, the Divinity of
Christ or any other of the cardinal
doctrines of the church, and people
pay little attention to things they
cannot explain.
1t is surprising how little people in
general know of the common revela-
tons of science. They pay little at
tention to study. How manv readers
of The Review can look into the
heavens at night and tell nAed star
from another kind of star? How
many pay attention to the classics.
No, we are bent upon building our
mental makeup out of the extremely
ordinary, and often crude and profane
things of life. We are interested in
the latest murder, the joke column,
the cartoon, jazz and hundred other
things that can be caught on the
wing. Profound mystery does not in
terest US. That is why people do not
know what the bishops heresy trial
was about.
1t has just come to light through
the tabulation of election returns that
Robert NJ. LaFollette received more
votes at the last general election than
Roosevelt polled when he ran on the
Bull Moose" ticket.
An EXCHANGE takes consolation in
