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.' That said

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.

conservative property owners of South
Omaha, occupied the chair during th

to the laboring men to get behind t'"

hud been defeated thleo Units In previ
ous legislatures and he feared for .ts
success tli's time For the nonattendance
of the committee he offeied Mr. Mullen's
excuse that the committee was hearing
affidavits In Omaha last night. 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.

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,

wage bill, together with such legislation
as would Insure a full days' work at

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

that everybody was a little to blame for
conditions In South Omaha, nnd Judgo
