WANTS NO GIRLS IN OFFICE
Business Man Says They Keep
Young Men from Opportunities.

Young Men from Opportunities.
From the Vancouver Star.
The presence Of young women In
business was condemned from several
standpoints, chiefly from that of i'm
perialist interests. by Sir Abe Bailey
in recent speech at the biennial con.
ference Of the British Empire Service
League in London. Sir Abe Bailey
asked why British people were not
holding their own in South Africa,
and, answering his own question. said:
Il have come to the conclusion that
through girls and young women occu.
pying places in business. our young
men are not equipped as they were
for the battle Of life. though they still
have to provide the home. When I
worked in the city of London-I
started there at IA years of age
there were no girls and young women
going to the Offices. They were all
young men,"
When asked afterward by a press
representative to elaborate his views.
Sir Abe said:
II am all against girls and young
women going out to business. I have
HOI d girl WOrklHS IN my Office.
never had one and I never shall"
"Why do you object to women CO.
ing out to work?" he was asked.
II object" he replied, because they
are handicap to our young men.
Girls accept jobs at half or three
quarters the proper rate Of pay, and
so keep men out Of work. This means
that our boys and youths do not get
the training they need. yet we expect
them to fight the battle Of life and do

what do you suggest girls and
women should do, assuming that they

Sir Abe Bailey shrugged his shoul.
/ ders. ''That Is their affair. With all
these women in business-and their
number seems to be increasing-the
natural tendency is for unemployment
among men to increase. That ID all
wrong. Why. when started work
as boy with a firm Of merchants in
Cannon street there was not a single
girl in the place. That Is as it should
be, and therefore / refuse to employ
women in my own Office"

Greenwich Judge Will Not
Take Ignorance as an
Excuse

Greenwich, July 21 ~ Women
who are so careless as to find them
selves in company with a rum-run-
rer when the latter is arrested will
not be leniently dealt with, Judge
James L. Mead indicated today when
he declined to accept the story Of
Eileen Rauschel. of Brooklyn who
was before him. A fine of 500 and
costs was imposed on her.
George K. Heath. of Brooklyn was
arrested last night when his auto.
mobile was stopped and found to
contain 81 bottles of gin. six quarts
of whiskey and one gallon Of other
liquor, destined to an up state point.
Heath pleaded guilty to Transport
tation and was fined 5000 and costs
with 60 days in Jail.
Judge Mead has begun to increase
fines on these convictions. Miss
Rauschel said she did not know her
companion was carrying liquor. To
the court she said that she made his
acquaintance while bathing at Man
haitian beach.
Judge Mead said that the story of
an invitation for a ride given by
women brought before him as &C.
completes in liquor running has be-
come so frequent that he had lost
interest in it. 1t was a mystery to
him why a woman would 80 rid

Dear Mr.. Chairman:
There has been a great deal of
criticism coming to me about the

city hall departments are keeping
and I think it would be we'll for you
to check up your department to see

There is also the criticism that
