GIRL TOILERS FAIR!
PITIFUL FACTS DISCLOSED IN
MISSOURI INVESTIGATION.
LAUNDRY LABOR THE WORST
Employes Frequently Faint in Intense
Heat of Their Working
Quarters.
St. Louis.—That the w<^rk of a wai
tress is the best employment for a
girl; that the low wages paid to do
mestic servants in the rural districts
is one reason why country girls seek
employment in the cities and that
girls in steam laundries work in such
intense heat that they often faint at
Lheir work was testified to before the
Missouri Wage Investigation commis
sion.
State Senator Wilson asked a girl
employed at Munger’s laundry, St.
Louis, why the girls employed there
did not leave the city and do domestic
work in "good homes at $5 to $7 a
week and board.”
"I just came from the country," re
plied the girl. “I never knew a girl
in the country working as a domestic
who could make more than 50 or 75
cents a week. That’s why I came to
the city—because 1 did not wish to
work for such small wages. 1 don't
want to go. back to the country.”
Tips Dollar a Day.
The testimony as to the relative de
sirability of work in a restaurant for
a woman was given by a girl employ
ed at the Gem restaurant here. She
said she was paid $7 a week and that
her tips averaged $1 a day. She lives
with her cousin, who works at the
same restaurant during the noon
lunch hour. She pays the cousin $3
a week for taking care of her 11-year
old daughter.
“I manage well,” she said. “I stop
and think twice before 1 buy. 1 work
ten hours a day. Our room costs $2.50
a week and it is good enough for a
working girl. I am in it only at night.
1 get ail inv meals at the restaurant.
1 manage to have a suit for Sunday
and a suit for work.
My employers treat me well. 1 have
a little bank account. Waitress work
is the best there is for a girl if she
has nobody but herself to look out
for.”
A frail little girl, who looked so
thin that State Senator Kinney asked
her if she had been sick, testified that
she worked at Penny & Gentle’s store
for $3 a week, all of which she pays
to an aunt for board. A 14-year-old
girl said she went to work at the
same store recently for $2.50 a week.
Girls Frequently Faint.
A finisher at the Anchor laundry
said girls at that place frequently
faint from the heat. They then are
laid on a table for an hour or two.
No doctor, she said, 'ever is called.
She told of one girl who was uncon
scious for three hours.
Comment on Possibilities of War.
London.—The powerful English or- j
ganizatlons just appear to be awaken
ing to the possibilities of the alliance
between Great Britain and Japan
and to the sentiment which the Brit
ish colonies would hold in the event
of war between Japan and the United
States.
“The prospect in which Great
Britain would be fighting for a prin
ciple that is anathema to her own
dominions,” says the London Specta
tor, “is causing much anxiety through
out the British empire.”
Although it believes the possibility
of war breaking out or of Great
Britain being a party to it through
her aliance with Japan to be vague
the Spectator declares:
“We doubt whether the empire
would survive such an outrage to the
feelings of a large and important part
of its whole population.”
The Saturday Review urges Great
Britain to stand by the alliance with
Japan, “because America is forking
for supremacy in the Pacific on lines
that are unfriendly both to Great
Britain and Japan.”
Contact With Electric Wire Fatal.
Bingham, Utah.—One lineman w&c
killed, another fatally and a third
seriously injured when a telephone
wire, on which they were working,

of the wire on the ground, and the
former was killed almost instantly.

gress.

HUHUJHS RULES
FOOD COMMISSIONER ISSUES
REGULATIONS TO DEALERS.
PUNS STRICT ENFORCEMENT
Sanitary Laws of Nebraska Are to Be
Invoked, to End All Food Stuffs
Shall Be Kept in Condition.
Lincoln, Neb.—Pure Food Commia
eioner Harman has completed a bu»
letin of instructions to all handlers
of foodstuffs of every nature as fol
lows:
Adulteration of food products will
be deemed to exist if food in the pro
cess of manufacture, preparation, pack
ing, storing, sale, distribution of trans
portation is not securely protected
from flies, dust, dirt or from other for.
eign or injurious contamination, also
if the utensils or receptacles used for
handling food are not in a clean and
sanitary condition. This particularly
applies to soda fountains, restaurants,
meat markets and all other places
where food and dairy products are
kept during the summer months.
Ready-to-Eat Foods.
The sanitary laws of Nebraska are
such that they demand that all ready,
to-eat food products served, prepared
or sold in any way must be kept in'
compliance with the law and at all
times must be properly protected in
every way. This especially applies
to necessary coverings of containers
in which said food is kept.
The definition of food as defined in
the sanitary law says, “The term
‘food- as herein used shall include all
articles- used for food, drink, confec
tionery or condiments, whether
simple, mixed or compound, and all
substances or ingredients used in the
preparation thereof.
Protection of Foods.
The doors, windows and other open
ing of food producing or distributing
establishments during the fly season
shall be fitted with self-closing screen
doors and windows screened with
screen of a not coarser than a four
teen-mesh wire gauze.
Buildings.
All buildings, rooms, basement or
cellars occupied or used for the pre
paration or handling of foods for sale
or distribution shall be properly
lighted, drained, plumbed and venti
lated with strict regard to the influ
ence of such condition upon the health
of the employes, clerks or other per
sons therein employed and the purity
and wholesomeness of the food therein
produced.
Clean Clothing.
All operatives employes, clerks or
other persons employed in any place
where food is cooked, served, prepared
or sold must at all times wear clean,
clothing.
Sanitary Law.
As a matter of protection to their
own business interests and to every
person engaged in the handling of food
products, it is necessary for them to
comply with the Nebraska sanitary
laws in every way. The public is also
entitled to this very necessary consid
eration and protection, and must have
it against all odds and beyond any
question. 1 have found it true by ac
tual demonstration that the best
method of enforcing popular law is by
a direct appeal to the public, but in
this instance am making an appeal
to both the purveyor and consumer
for a betterment of sanitary condi
tions on every hand. To the purveyor
of food I would say: Look well to
your products: to the consumer. I^ook
well to your purchases of food pro
ducts. See that they are property
handled. ■
The law proviues a penalty un a
violation of tbe sanitaSy law of this
state.
Table Rock Wants New Reformatory.
Lincoln.—Clyde Barnard brought to
Lincoln a proposition which he pre
sented to the board of control, to lo
cate the new $150,000 state reforma
tory at Table Rock. The law provides
that the board may select fEe location
where brick can be made and that
the convicts, or first termers, can be
kept at work making this kind of
building material. Tbe Table Rock
Clay company will offer a yard al- i
ready equipped and fifteen acres of
land in addition.
Will Hold His Old Position.
Lincoln—Land Commissioner Fred
Beckman stated that the announce
ment made that Claud Hensel, one cf
the deputy marshals of the state,
would be tbe new chief clerk in his
cilice, was a mistake. “1 offered the
position to Mr. Hensel,” Mr. Back
mann said, “hut be took a little time
to consider it and on returning from
Omaha called at my home ‘and said
that he had decided to hold his pres
ent position until the end of his term.
Board Hears Last Railroaders.
Lincoln, Neb.—The state board of
essesment and equalization closed Its
hearings for railroad tax commission
ers after listening to short talks by
Thomas Newkirk of Chicago, repre
senting the Reck Island, and J. M.
Seibert of St. Louis, representing the
Missouri Pacific road.
The board will meet again next Sat
urday and at that time will asses rail
road property. Little change is ex
pected in the assessed valuation as
fixed for the roads by the beard last
year.
Statement of School Apportionment
Lincoln—State Treasurer W. A.
George has prepared a statement to

ent showing the amount of money
available to the semi-annual appor
tionment of the school fund amount
ing to $374,395.35. The funds were

PLEA FOR THE OLD SOLDIERS.
State Officials Ask Cities to Send in
Contributions.
Governor Morehead and all the
state officers have joined in a request
for mayors of cities to see that col
lections are taken up to pay the fare
of old soldiers to the battle of Get
tysburg July 4. The legislature ap
propriated $4,000 for this purpose, but
270 names of eligible veterans have
been received by the state commis
sion and the appropriation will not
pay more than one-third of the rail
road fare of all who desire to make
the trip. The full fare for the round
trip will cost $45. Only soldiers who
were in the battle of Gettysburg,
whether on the union side or the side
of the confederacy, are to receive any
of the state appropriation. The lay
ing of the corner stone of a peace
monument is to take place July 4 and
all who took part in the celebrated
battle have been invited to be present.
One thousand letters were sent by
state officers this morning to mayors
of cities and board of village trustees
appealing for private contributions.
The legislature of Iowa appropriated
$10,000 for this purpose and there
will be a deficit of $4,000, which the
governor of that state is planning to
provide for, either through the ad
vancement of the money by members
of the state senate or by public sub
scription.
To Secure More Land.
The Nebraska State Board of Agri
culture will at once begin condemna
tion proceedings to secure the addi
tional land to he bought under the ap
propriation made by the last legisla
ture. This w-as ordered at a meeting

meeting were: Joseph Roberts, first
vice president, of Fremont; second
vice president, J. A. Ollis of Ord; C.
H. Rudge of Lincoln. Peter Youngers
of Geneva. J. F. McArdle of South
Omaha and George Jackson of Nel
son.
Asks Architects to Submit Plans.
State Superintendent J. E. Delzell is
continually receiving letters from
school district officials asking for
plans for rural school buildings from
one to four rooms in size. In order to
meet the demand he has sent out the
following to all architects of the state
which he believes will solve the situa
tion:
In this office we have many calls
from school officers for one, two and
three-room rural school buildings, also
a few calls for a four-room building.
The legislature does not furnish funds
to pay for these plans, but if the archi
tects of the state will furnish us plans
and cuts for these buildings we will
