I ii it ntnrrntlou wancn nnd white alar
cry lu Chlcugo, Julius Ilosmiwuld,
nilllloualro tuanoger or the great mall
order houso of H-ars, Itoebuck and
Compuuy, gave this an lilts view of the
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."
Profit-. 97.(00,OOU a Yrnr.
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.
llosrtiftnld testified that his coin
pauy employ 4,702 women at an
nvornco wecgly wage of 9il3. Girls
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
who got not less than SB. Of those
employed ICO live ut home. Women
nnd girls not living nt home. Women
paid less than 8 a week. Ho Is em

worked more than 10 hours a day.
Another girl employe of Ilosen
w aid's company also contradicted his
testimony. Hhe swore that "scoldorn"
wero employed, and that tho foremen
regularly threatened tho girls with
dismissal.
"Ono girl," she said, "woa taken
to Iho scolding desk because, being
weak and halt &tck, alio sat down oc
casionally." "Would you blamo n girl lu those

Disinterested Physicians Assert That

interested phjslclans hero today da
clnrcd Dr. Prcderlck Prauz Fried
maun of Merlin, discoverer of an al
leged tuberculosis cure, must bo given
a "square deal." Tho action of somo
physicians In permitting themselves
to be quoted ou the treatment given
three patlentn by Dr. Krlcdtnann yes
terday was also sharply criticised.
One prominent New York physi
cian, whose name Is withhold, assert
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
remedy.

ics, Dr. Frledmann declared this af
ternoon that he would treat all sorts

the most advanced stages. He de
clared that he had not been treated
fnlrly here.

T TO PLUG
ANOTHER LEAK
Tho county court has formed an
other drain on the county treasury
which they are about to plug nnd save
tho taxpayers from a certain amount

in connection with tho county poor
farm. Hereafter all supplies for the
farm will be purchased by bids and
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
expenses with direct buying, a little

appreciate his efforts and economy.
"Wo believe that many hundred
