Nono of them materially changed the bill with one or two exceptions. Ollis amended the bill so that the governor shall send in his appointments on the board of, control before the first twenty days of the session. Hongland had his little amendment ready to change the Ollis amendment to read ten days, but tho senate thought tho Ollis amend ment good enough and the senator from Uncoln county dovo down Into his desk Yor tho next one.

Figuring on the basis of turning' tin money onco each week, tho witness testi fied thut tho 34 cents put Inli; a poUnd of butter fat brought to tho creamory a net profit of 3.12 at tho end of the year, this, of course, figuring in tho 20 per cent of salt and water in each pound, which costs, nothing, but Is sold fifty-two times each year ut 37 cents per pound, tho samo price as the butter. W. J. Hunter, a. North Twenty-fourth street grocer,' In business about twenty flvo years, disputed former testimony jf commission men that tho retullers arc tho ones who are getting the profits, growing ncu mm uro responsiDio tor prices doiiik high. Mr. Hunter went through the list of giocern who have Deen in the retail busi ness since lid has been In Omaha, llu pointed to scores of them who, whllo they did business on a most economical basta, failed. He named four or flvo who have made soma money, testifying that mot of them havo been able to barely make what would be equivalent to fair salurloi, On the lllnek List. Mr. Hunter, according to hta testimony had been up agulnat tho Froduce t ohango and had been on the black list once bicause ho owed a member 1.60, Tho 'result of this was that he was pro hibited from getting any more goods u.i less he sent cosh with tho order. Even the drivers of the commission men's wagons knew that I was black listed, and they considered U a Joke. They 6ld It to my next door neighbor an'd passed the word from oflo to another Another time I went on the b'ack list' tor a purpose. . "I had been told that it olack-llsted I would not be generally known. I let tho account run past the week ai-.d then tela phoned down for goods. Immediately came back tho answer; "We can't sell .you because you are on tho black list. Tho same afternoon driver for a commission house, ono with which I had never dealt, going past my store called out to me: " 'You aro on the black list,' and laughed at me as he drove on." There Is no money In selling butter at retail, according to Mr. Hunter, The gro cer buys It today for 37 cents per pound for the best, paying cash, or cash within a week and retails it out at 40 cents, car rying the customer thirty days as a ruin and more times two and three months. Lose Money on Hatter. "Wo have to extend this long term of credit, for If we- refuted we would lose even our best trade. Tho result, of this Is that there is not one out of fifty retail grocers who' has sufficient money to carry on the business.

A portion of this report was suppressed by the committee. "Did not your company within tho .last few years conduct a private Investigation o ascertain the minimum wages neces sary for n girl to support herself without assistance?" asked O'Hara. I don't recall there may have been but I don't remember Just now. Perhaps Mr. Miller-'' Elnlii Dollnm a Mini mam. Tho latter promptly entered the borach and said that such an investigation hod been hold by a committee composed ot department' heads. "Th committee reported tne minimum requirements of 'girls adrift' (not living at home) was S. "Now. I want to ask you." said O Kara, "as a man of wide phllanthrophy, If you think that low wages Induce Immorality In women." 'I will answer that as I havo answered before-there Is practically no connection between them. I believe that prostitution Is as likely to come to a woman who earns over 910 as to one who earns less. It depends on the women. A irtrl earn ing a small wage might use that as a subterfuge to defend her derelictions." "Do you consider 5 enougn ior any woman to live upon?" Yes; if she lives at home." 'And 13 is enough for one who sup ports heraelft" That Is what our investigation showed." "How much did your corporation earn in 19UT" "Approximately $7,000,000." "Could you raise wages and still pay your stockholders a legitimate profit?" The witness said that the stock of the corporation pays T per cent on both com mon and preferred. There was a surplus of 12,000,000 at the end of 1912. He said he cpuld have gven $2,000,000 out of profits and still pay '.'some dividends." State Senator Niels Juul asked the wit ness If he thought stockholders were fair Judges of what compensation the girls should receive and If ho didn't think the state would be a fairer Judge. There was sporadic applause when Mr. Rostnwald replied that he would be gla1 to meet the- wishes of the state "so far as competitfon will permit." Asked If he would object to disclosing his own Income, he replied in the neg4 atlve. Never Trlril It Himself. "Well, then," smiled O'Hara, "could you live on IS a week?" Thero was a Utter when the witness said he had never tried It O'Hara asked if there were "drivers in his employ. The witness had never heard of them. "Have you an employe called The scolder'?" "Not so far as I know." Benator Juul took the witness and wanted to know If the corporation took pains to learn If the wage received by girl was sufficient in the individual cause. "No-o," was the slow reply, "Then you proceed on the theory that the girls must live on what you pay them" commented Juul, Then he asked It the witness thought any woman should be asked to live on 1esi than ahy-average woman. "Competition might account for the dif ferences." Viplled the-wUneas. "To pay 1.000 girls $5 a week more than you do would eost' you T$300,000 a year, stated the ketiatOr. "Would- that make such a difference to! youK dividends?" "I would not say IK answer to that, that the earnings of oneiyear might not be those ot other yean," Maid Mr. Rosen-watd.
