The awful facts must *not be hidden. There is_ nothing that these evil agents'fearso much as publicity. If they can only insure silence and secrecy they can perpetuate their fiendish busi. ness; they can laugh at the de~ spair of lost young souls and the} anguish of broken heatted par- ents. , i Whether these figures are accu- rate or not there can be no doubt that this wont of all forms of slavery is sustained by a great network of conspiracy against honor and viflue of the most helpless of all members of so: ciety. Yesterday came a report through the regular news chann’el of a wo- man in charge of the New York police who has been acting as business agent of one of these nefarious firms with offices at New 'York and Panama. TOday we tell the story with unquestionable authentication of the ptoces's of? which young girls are hired and‘ sent down tifférlh’s worst hells. This statement estimates the numâ€" ber of the human slaughter mar- ket at 6.500 annually. But we are confronting condi- tions which prove the existence. of organized forces employing men and women agents in every civilized country in 'the world. They control capital and open markets foractual traffic in female human flesh. They conspire with diabolical skill against the secur-1 ity and innocence of young girls‘ and have a regular scale of market prices according to the attractive features of the victims whom they sell like sheep to the slaughter The public pregs has not taken kindly to the stories of the evil Imam: as the' 'White Slavery.” This arises partially from a feel- in that the sentimentality of re- formers tends to exaggerate‘the facts and partially because atmoâ€"j tests from heads of families. 1 mummmmmuu mumm “Wuihm Helwmamtborho Subucfipdoa $1.50 : Year ‘ 59:9?
