Chicago, June I. The atats lnvestl
Ratine committee resumed today its In
qulry Into vice conditions here. About
40 witnesses, Including the heads of
Chicago's largest banks and department
,. stores, and economists, will testify. -,
Tht witnesses will be asked regarding
wages paid male employes and whether
the low wages or men are contributing
factors to the ruin of young girls, they
also will be asked whether married men
average better wages than single men.
and whether the wages paid married
men are sufficient to support a family
without compelling the children to
leave school and go to work.
, - It Is expected that the committee will
; recommend a minimum wage law 'as a
result of the investigation. . -'
Billion Is xeprsssated.
The bankers who responded to the
'.subpenas of the committee represented
11,000.000,000 at capital.
Today's witnesses were not sworn.
George M. Reynolds, president of the
Commercial and Continental National
bank, the Hibernian and . other banks,
testified that the wages of men in tne
banking business averaged $300 a year.
I He asid:
"We have never investigated what It
costs a man to support himself and a
wife and child. In my opinion. It would
work a wrong to merit to fix a mini-
J n urn wage for men. It would put all
abot on a par. ! I believe merit should
be rewarded."
' field's Average High. -
James Simpson, manager of the great
Marshall Fielddepartment store, testi
fied that i his concern employs 3180 men
and boys' at an average wage of $19 a
week and a minimum or $12 per week
for men over 21 years old.; ' He said that
no married men get less than $12. a
Week, and that no boy gets less than $8.
-Simpson thought a federal minimum
wage law. for men would be good, but
lie "was opposed to sucn a "siate law,
He thought the connection between vice
and wages was remote, adding: - -.

Has George P. Heusner one more card
up his sleeve to play In his desperate
game for a franchise?. It Is beginning
to appear that he is nqw, willing to
aocept thajt . much , despised grant once
offered him by the council, which he de
Clared he "would not take for $ 75,000."
But that was before the people ex
pressed themselves so forcibly on his
own self-written instrument submitted
to them Monday.
The promoter's hopes, it is believed
now are pinned on getting ths present
council. In its dying hours, to vote him
the rights It is known the body was
willing to grant a few weeks ago.
This franchise differs from the one
Heusner submitted to the people, in
that it does not give any right of way
on Broadway south of Flanders street
but takes the interurban cars off Broad
way at Flanders to Tenth street, south
to Salmon, east on Salmon to Fourth,
down the Southern Pacific's tracks to
Flanders again and back over the Broad
way bridge.
Ksaalar of Advertisement.
Testerday there appeared In the city
official publication both of the pro
posed Heusner franchises. He called
attention to the publication in adver
tisements in the other newspapers and
proclaimed that the purpose of such
publication was to give those interested
a chance to. compare the two measures.
But at the bottom of the franchise of
fered by the council appears the sig
nificant legend:
'First publication, June 5, 1913.
"Second publication, June . 1913."
This indicates that the publication is
intended to meet the requirements of
the council's order of publication. " The
old charter in effect July 1, provides
that such publication must appear twice
in the official paper and that 20 days
must then elapse before final action
can be taken by the council. "
' rrlends of Measure Active,
This makes action by tht council pos
sible on June 27, just three days before
it passes from existence forever. The
last regular meeting of the old council
Is supposed to take place June 25, but
an adjourned session or a special meet

the possibility of a special meeting to
consider the Heusner measure. Mene

'I believe that the council- will be
called upon to consider it," he sld.
However, even If the council should
pass the, ordinance in its dying mo'

Mayor Rushlight would refuse to sign
