of vice conditions today, and about 40
witnesses, including heads of the lar
gest banks and department stores,
and economists will v testify. Each
witness will be asked, regarding the
wages paid to male employes and
whether low wages of men are. con
tributing factors to ruining young

George M. Reynolds, president' of
numerous banks,' testified the wages
of men in the banking business av

James Simpson, manager of . Mar
shall-Field, testified the concerns pay
men and boys an average of $19 a
week, a minimum of $12 a week to
men over 21. ' . ,
Simpson stated ' his concern em
ploys over 3000 men and boys. He
said no married man gets less than
12 and no boy less than 8. Simpson
thought a federal minimum wage for
men good, but opposed a state-law.
He thought the connection between
vice and wages remote, adding, "the
connections of low wages and those of
home conditions which cause immor
ality are inf initessimal, if they ex
ist at all."
Edward Hillman, head of a depart
ment store, testified that he employed i
417 men at an average wage of $14.48
a week, and boys at $5 a week. He
thought $12 weekly inadequate to
suppport a family of three including
a daughter of 16. v ...
David Forgan, president of the
National City Bank, when asked if
married men employed in the bank
earned less than a thousand, a year,
replied, "No, we dont let them. A

working man, and cannot maintain
himself properly on less than a thous
