The Snare of Starvation Wages. ____.-. The Cause of Strikes. There is no more pitiful phase of the “ soeiztl evil ” than the thousands upon thousands of girls forced into lives of shame by starvation wages. There is something outrageously wrong with our business methods when three million men cannot find employment, and two hundred and ninety-three thousand girls, many of them more children, are com- pelled to work for wages. Thousands of girls in our stores and business places, who ought to be at school, and whose Fathers and brothers should be earning enough for the family. In the many many cities in which we have spoken, and the niyriads of working girls who have come to us as a sisterâ€"â€"and, thank God! I am their sisterâ€"and poured forth the temptation of their lives, I know that hundreds of employers con- sider that a girl’s virtue is part of the services required. and hundreds more compel her to sell herself for bread, be- cause they will not out of their millions pay her sufii'cient wages to keep body and soul together. Rescue workers gen- erally agree that thousands of our girls nrethus hounded into sin. In Chicago there are nine thousand girls in the dc- pnrtmeut stores alone, not. including thousands in ofiices. factories and res taurants; other cities have a like numv her in proportion to their size. More than fifty per cent. of these girls work for five dollars per week, and, of course, are expected to board and clothe them- selves. No man or woman should be asked to give their time to any line of work that will not bring sufiicicnt remunera- tion to supply the necessities of life. No work should be done that does not give the worker life and comfort. If our dc. partment stores cannot pay their girls enough to meet their necessities. then the businesses must fail. It the factory cannot. pay its help. the factory must close. But. they can pay if they will, and here is the great sin. The year be- lorc last, one of the stores in Chicago declared a dividend that gave one of the principal stock-holdersâ€"a woman-a As an employer, is n’t‘. it to my, inter- est to make the most. money I can out. of the Appeal? And to do this, is n’t.‘ it. to my interest to get the most work out of the employees for the least pay ? Surely! Now, isn’t it to the interest of the employees on the Appeal to get the most wages they can for the fewest hours they can? Surelyl Now, just. think. Are not these two interests dia- metrically opposed to each other ? It is because of these conditions that all the strikes occur, and will continue to occur so long as these conditions exist. Tem- they will only be temporary, as we see by looking at the daily press. There can be no permanent peace between eni- ploycr and employed. Then, is the present strife to continue â€"-is there no remedy? Yes, there is a remedy, but: the employers do not want it: and the employees do not see it. Now, suppose that the Appeal plant belonged equally to its employeesâ€"each receiving the same pay'for the same number of hours -â€"how could they strike against themm selvns? Do n't you see how absurd it would be for them to quit work because received? They would get all the pro-- ducts. and they could not be discontent-- ed for lack of receiving what. they knew was their share, for they would get it: all. A strike under such conditions would be too ridiculous for considera- tion. Now. if all capital were owned by the public (all the people) and the people were employed in their own in- dustries, receiving all the products, as in the instance I have mentioned, do: you not. see that there would be no strike? Thousands of years of private capital have produced nothing but dis- cord. war, murder, strikes and oppres- sion. simply and solely because of this conflict of self-interest. in the production and distribution of woulth.-â€"- Wayland. .. The Patriotic Rich. ___â€" ciulism, will be looked after and duly ‘ porary truces may be patched up, but a they were dissatisfied with what they - clear profit of over one million dollars. During the same year several girls were admitted into our rescue home who had gone to ruin because of the wages paid in that mom, and I was personally se- quainted with others who stood behind the counters by day. and walked the streets or frequented the beer halls or saloons in the evening. If the woman stock-holder in this store knows about the existing conditions and‘does "nothing to change them, I ask you whose place would you choose when the final ac- codnts are settledâ€"that of the woman with her millions. or that of the victim in the pot-tcr’s field ? This evil lies in the fact that the results of the business are not. equally divided; and the rennet" dv must come from an enlightened pub. lic conscience among employers which will compel them to “pay living wages to all their workers. To this end we muss, labor. emphasising continually the truth ‘of the words of‘. our Muster that “ nil men are brothers.”-â€"Josephinc Conger.
