Wage Legislation as General Statute Opposed by Women Minimum wage of J9 a wek for adult working women Is recommended by the fommlttco of twelvo women assisting tho Mato legislative committee In Its Investi gations of wages paid women In Omaha. Tho committee, however, Is opposed to any law fixing a definite minimum wage without regard to age. length of service and efficiency. . In their study of the conditions of work ing women the committee members have round that In somo laundries, factories and other comerclal Institutions sanitary conditions are far from what they should bo and moral Influences also could be bettered. A resolution adopted by the committee of twelve ttomcn follows: Wc, the undersigned committee, after due Investigation of tho facis and condi tions bKiil;;hi to our observation during the limited time at our disposal in regard to the sanitary conditions, hours of labor and-wages paid working girls and women in Omaha, do hereby express our belief tha W per week Is a fair and just mini mum wage to adult working women (IS vears or over), but that any set defined minimum wage law which would Include all working girls and women without re Kpect to age, length of service or effi ciency would work an Injun- to the parties who need our lieli, most, viz, the young Inefficient 'worker.'

Unlicensed Dances Found in Numbers By Service Board Twenty-one dance halla out of thirty Inspected by the Social Service board wero found to be operating without a license. The situation was discussed a't a meeting of the board last night and tho city license Inspector wllL.be asked to compel the proprietors to take out licenses o." cease to operate. Members of the boartr discussed the ad visability of forcing theater proprietori to abandon, oriental dances, but at iadt decided that a "nation-wide custom" ought not be reformed from Cmaha, There was some difference of opinion ns to what an "Immoral dance" really is. One member believed tho board ought to look at datices from the standpoint of the dancer, saying trie Salome dance, for exaniple, Is an elegant thing If looked at In the proper light. During Its brief term of office the board has visited every moving picture theater In the city with the exception of onq. Many of them were found deficient In exits and have been ordered to mako changes. About a dozen now are being remodeled. ' Many of the theaters had only a front exit and in case of fire would havo proved death traps, according to tho board. The members of tho board visited these thea ters with a lantern so they could see their way about, somo of them were so poorly lighted. Meeting Held s at. Magic City Well !

Artmir F. Mullen. formerNnttorncy general of Nebraska, said that whllo every other question might have two sides, thero could he but one sfile to the question of living wage. He said to stato tho prop osition meant to prove It. He said .t would apply only to women oxer 1R and men over 21. He urged that the bill fco supported. Priest Drnrrllirn Condition. Rev. Michael J. Gluba. pastor of St. Francis' Catholic church and former pupil of Dr. John Hynn, the St. Paul economist and author of tho "Living Wage." an economic work, said comll . lions In South Omaha, as related to j labor weio deplorable. He said that men i were working In the parking house, two, j three, four and five hours a day at I a wage not In excess of 20 rents and 'often times less. He said a living wage meant not only bread nnd meat and clothes, but a modicum of money to save fot hart) times. He added that bosses were In the habit of selling Jobs to the laborers. In some lustnnces he said whisky was demanded as tho price of a Job; In others the applicant for work had to agree to pay a certain Per cent of his wages to the boss or lose his Job, H urged the passage ot tho minimum wage bill, together with such legislation as would Insure a full days' work at the Increased rntcs of labor.

I'nnotleed, ns one who had failed to help tlieni, Mayor Tom Hoctor, sat hunched In n corner of the chamber and saw tho men, who voted for him a year ago turned away from him to the men who wero working to help them. He sat In tho forefront of the hall. Other speakers were called for. but no one suggested his natae. It was a comment upon tho revolt among the laboring men against the gang that has used them for so long Other speakers were Rev. T. A.
