nilllloualro tuanoger or the great mall
order houso of H-ars, Itoebuck and

situatien:
"Any girl who wan In to fall will
fall whether she gets IS a week or
not. Hlio mny use any subterfuge
for surrendering, but there Is not
any connection between low wage
mul prostitution. There Is abwlutely
no nssoclatlon between the cnutes."

Itosfiiwatil admitted tho dividends
paid by his company last year were
17,000,000 and the company's sur-
pluu scuoo.ooo.
Hoseuwald denied Hint he worked
his girl employes more than 10 hour
a day or that his time rolls were "doc
tored" to Inaka It appear that the
girls worked but eight hours. Offi
cials did not scold Iho girl, be de
clared, nor was there a "speed up"
stein to fatigue Iho workers. He
denied that the girls workml In Im
properly ventilated rooms, and added
that no "stock ads" were kept In the
classified columns or Chicago news
papers throughout the country to at
tract help to hla establishment on
glittering promises of high wages,
thereby ovcVsuppljIng tho labor mar
ket and making It easier to secure
cheap help.

pauy employ 4,702 women at an

under 16 receive a minimum wage of
$5. Ho declared somo or his women
employes received under 15.50. He
has 110 girls who get 15 and HC5

nnd girls not living nt home. Women

"Ono girl," she said, "woa taken

terday was also sharply criticised.
One prominent New York physi

ed that such doctors make themselves
ridiculous. He declared It probably
would require three months nnd
treatment of 1,000 patients to dem
onstrate the fact of Dr. Frlcdmann'a

not by direct buying as at present.
"In this connection," stated Com
mission er W. C. Leevcr today, "wo
wish It distinctly unedrstood that no
reflection Is cast by this move upon
the superintendent of the farm. It
Is remembered how he ling held down
