When a citizen pays a nickel to be transported from one end of the local streetcar system to another, or from any point to any other point, in justice lie is entitled to the ride that nickel buys, whether it is continuous or whether it be interrupted at a transfer point for half hour or such a matter, either upon his own volition or by rea son of the lax management of the streetcar people. Unjustly to put on the screws in this matter in order to squeeze out the nickels discloses the disposition on the part of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, to get all it can and keep all it gets. A WORKING GIRL ARMY There are 250.000 working girls in New York City who support themselves. They are between 14 and lit) years of age, and their aver age wage is $0 a week. The New York commission on the resources of working girls for amusement estimates that $0 a week is the lowest sum on which a girl living in Manhattan can he entirely self-supporting. Wliat arc the amusements and how fares it with this army of working girls who receive $t> a week and require if!* to live on. The commission concludes that most of these workers reside at home and contribute their earnings to the family purse. Hut, there must he recreation and amusement for them, and therein is the great social problem, not only of New York, hut of all large cities. The commission has secured legislation that has brought about the closing of fifty-eight public dance halls and substituted super vised places of amusement These unsupervised halls were the fester p l a e c s mid plague spots of the city. It is estimated that they were attended by lOO.OiiO persons a week ill Manhattan alone. The wage of $ti a week, the human yearing for amusement, the struggle for survival, the self-denial and long hours of labor, the humdrum of life, and the wiles of human vultures and gray wolves who infest the dan<e halls and spread their nets for the unwary, make unreg ulated halls the great recruiting station for the scarlet world. No human agency can render higher service than that to which the Niw York commission has addressed itselt The proof appears in the 250.000 working girls on a wage o f ¡ft» a week and requiring $!* a week for survival. It is one of the tragedies of human life, and there can be nothing hut applause for the noble men and women who are striving through the commisisou to alleviate its remorseless condition!.
