THE OMAHA SUNDAY BKE: JUNE 22, 1913. 9 B HALT CALLEDW HYSTERICS Sooial Workers Come Forward with Protest Against Sensations. BAME BASIS FOR PltOOEEDURE Graduates from Nebraska School for the Deaf Jlelntlon of "Woninn'a Wage, to ta Social Brll Is Dlncnmcrt br Volnntnrr Committee of ISnrnrat Buer" NEW YOItK, Jun a.-OwInn; to the great emphasis which has recently been given to the relation of the wage scale of women In Industry to the social evil, poputorly termed the "White slay' prob lem. It was made the special subject for consideration at an Informal conference of social workers and others who havo dealt directly with the subject at the Metropolitan building in New York, April 18. The concensus of opinion on the part of that voluntary group ot persons was that a certain amount of injustice was being done to selfsilpiporttng women through that agitation and that there should be given to the public a state ment refuting the charges made after se curing the signatures of others whose ex perience would enable them to speak with authority. The following committee was appointed to formulate a tentative draft: Jeremiah W Jenks, James Bronson Itey- iiuiub, jiiss iimnerino uemeni uavis, Henry W. Herbert, Miss Rose S6mmer 1 field, Frederick It. Whlttln and Miss Florence M. Marshall. The circulation ot the document result ing from their joint efforts brought help ful suggestions which were Incorporated In It and tho following ttatement was finally adopted by all whose signatures arc appended: The comments made in the newspapers of late concerning vice among working girls, especially In department stores, In dicate clearly that there has been ft wide misconception on the part of many re. gardlng the subject. The undersigned are of the opinion that these comments, in many cases, through lack ot experi ence of the writers, have Teen crossly unjust to the working girls, and that from the widespread publicity given these mistaken views grave evils are likely to result. In fact, we believe evils havo In many cases already resulted therefrom to society and evon to the working girls themselves. , Tho undersigned do not wish In these comments In any way to express an opin ion regarding the wages paid to working girls, certainty not to intimate that they ae too high or oven sufficient. That is a question to be considered on different grounds, and our sympathy Is strongly with the working girls. Duals for Proper Inquiry. In order, however, to aid at least a little in minimizing this evil of mistaken opinion regarding working girls and to Indicate in part the lino that should be followed in Investigations of such a ques tion, we venture to suggest that In recent accounts In the newspapers many vital meariy any points have been ignored. thorough .Investigation of the BUbject should include questions regarding their age, school training, mental development, heredity, occupation, hours of work, whether apprentices or regular workers: source of support. if apprentices, or It not working; whether living at home or con tributing to support ot tho home; the use made ot their wages; previous depraving influences; views regarding sex relation ship of the common intimate associates of the girl; the forms ot her social recrea tion, and it is particularly important to ascertain how money received, If at all, as the price of- a girl's fall and subse quent Immoral practices, was spent whether for necessities, luxuries, or for her family. It such matters were covered, we should be more certain regarding the conclusions' reached. Our own -observation and ex perlence would Indicate' that, the meet lm, portant contributing causes ot immortality o( .girls are: Weaknewof'TOlttaftd-wiU! individual temperament; immoral asso ciate men. oi reiigiouB or emicui train ing; injurious home influences: cramped living accommodations, rendering privacy difficult: lacic of industrial efficiency; idleness; unwillingness to accept avail able employment: love of finery and pleasure; unwholesome amusement, and inexperience ana ignorance 01 social temptations. ' " We therefore hold that It has not-been satisfactorily demonstrated that low wagcA are a direct cause of tho loss ot virtue of worklne sirls. though our ex perlence and observation would lead us to the ODlnlon that low waees are at times an Indirect contributing cause, but it is Usually the low wages of the parent or person supporting the. family, resulting in 'low standard ot living, which includes inability to give proper training to chil dren, as well as Insufficient living ac commodations and the evil' social In fluences arising? therefrom. It Is our een eral belief that low wages of working girls are scarcely ever a direct cause ot tneir toss 01 cnasmy, . Signed by Social Workers.

If good roads make sueh a vast difference In the cost ot motor travel, certainly they make a proportionate difference In the cost ot horse travel. And sow are Vxpcrlncln n gradual atrakeftlng Khd th6..ROod roads agitation Is getting steadily Into all parts ot tho country. " tj"vef$irodyPfoii'i?iri; "But the road question ot this country la too big for one Industry or one set of Interests or one class ot people to at tempt to settle. It Is everybody's prob lemIt Is a national problem. While automobile manufacturers and automo biles owners have done much In behalf of good roads, the problem will never be settled until tKere Is, a nntlon-wldo move ment ot our highways. The good roads movement need the backing of the gov ernment. It should be made a federal Issue. Only through federal support on big scale can national good roads bo accomplished. "At the present time, the UnltedtStatcs has tho worst roads of any civilised country. The coat of hauling over our country roads averages 33 cents a ton to the mile. In European countries It Is less than 10 cents a ton per mile. In some roads going Into London, where motor trucks are used, It Is less than 4 cents per mile. If tho wagon freight bill ot this country could be cut In half, It would mean a saving to the peopto ot l2oO.ttXJ.000 a year. Nothing but Rood road can accomplish this saving. Anton Follow Good Ilnnile. "Wherover good roads have been dft. veloped, tho automobile predominates. It It Is true that the constitution follows tho flag. It Is almost equally true that good roads follow the automobile. New York has one ot the finest road systems In the country. I firmly believe that this won- tlcrful system ot roads has been developed largely oecause ot me great miraw oi nutcmbbllfs owned In New York state. Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, all ot these states which have large numbers - of motor cars, not only have good roads, but aro building more good roads each year. The same Is true in California, In Iowa, In Ohio. Tho move ment Is spreading throughout the middle west, whero motor cats aro so exten sively used. ''Of coufse,' there must bp a willingness on tho part of tho local governments and those wlo do not own motor cars 'to do the-thlng which lit for the general 'jcckm. of tho community. Some states which own largo number of motor cars jhavn not yet seen tho light, but the sentiment In -favor of good roads Is Increasing so rapidly that nearly every community whore motor cars are owned In large numbers Is doing something for the Im provement of hi highway. '. Itv requires only the backing ot the national govern ment to make the , movement nation wide. "And In this great activity, we must give the automobile credit for being th'e greatest and most enthusiastic mis stonary." , ', v commission of Chicago, Chicago, III. H.

To the conven tion AXigust 30 to September S this year at San Francisco, will be sent eight dele gates who will establish headquarters and pull for Omnha. it Is tho desire of the local branch that the special train of delegates, which will pass through Omaha, be held over one day and the delegates entertained. It will be Monday evening so that they may be able to wit ness the attractions at tho Ak-Sar-Ben Den. If this can be accomplished there Is little doubt In the minds of the mem bers that the convention will come hire, The Commercial club and the Associated Retailers' organization have endorsed the movement as the convention will, bring mora than 5,000 visitors to the city. The new ll.OOO.OOO hotel will be completed by 1915, so that no difficulties should be en countered In accommodating all who come. To provide funds for the delegates a picnic will be held at Krug park next Wednesday to which an admission of 10 cents will be charged. Tickets may be obtained from any ot the mall carriers.

At least, It needs, no particular emphasis. That the country as a wlioto is In great need of better roads Is also 'an-accepted fact," said Hugh Chalmers of the Chalmers Motor company. "No one fin our cities would do away with our fine systems ot pavements and boulevards and return to the old time cobblestone pavements and dirt roads. No one, who regularly uses country roads, wants poor roods any moro than our cities want poor pavements. "Tho United States has made wonderful improvements in Its road systems in the lost tow years. Most of theso improve ments have been local. There has been no widespread development ot good roads and a national system of highways Is still a matter whloh la only vaguely djseussed. "For such work as has been done, I think great credit Is due automobile owners. There was formerly Just one groat agent In the building of good roads In any country. This was war. When a na tion had vast armies to mOve, good roads were built to facilitate military move ments. The famous Roman roads were built only hecause Rome tvas . a great military power. It would have been Im possible to march the Roman legions over such roads as are general In the United States. "The big factor In developing better roads today Is the automobile. This is a new factor and It Is a factor of peace. Through the demands of the automobile and Its owners, we secure the same road Improvements which In the-past were se cured only through the necessity of bet ter transportation facilities for armies. Travel Was Limited. "Previous to the coming, of the auto mobile, our activities as travelers were comparatively limited. We used the waterways and 'the railways, but we did little overland touring. The farmor liv ing a tew miles outside a commercial center, did some hauling to his market. In some Instances, the farmer built good roads, but they extended only to the nearest business center. The great Cali fornia gold rush ot the 40s might have brought good roads It it had not been such a hurried movement. As a matter of fact. It did nothing but mark out trails which may ultimately become na tional highways. 'It has remained for the automobile to show the people of this country the neces sity for good roads. The automobile Jias more than trebled the radius of our tour ing nctlvltlos. The farmer, who only a few years ago, considered four or five mile a long haul for his product; thinks nothing of a twenty or twenty-five mile run by motor car. In the use of motor cars, we have dscovered that good roads reduce the cost upkecp by about half, This Is a lesson we might never have learned. It Is a lesson we should not have learned for many years at least, ex cept for the fact that It Is possible to compute the exact cost of maintenance of a motor car. With these facta as' applied to automobile before us, we have begun Thq bounding Pattersons have been hooked Bt the Bmprecs this week and will lead a program of exceptional quality, Their work conellts of trampoline aerial aeeompllshments, and it Is undoubtedly ena nt the best aots ot this type In the business, Arthur Browning will - present hts educated" dog, and the little animal Is said to be a very clever trickster, Maxone and Maxone. a. pair ot Italian street muslolans'and singers, singing everything from grand opera to rag time, will bo another of the attractions, and. with Deck and Henney, the original Ivory tlcklors. will complete the vaudeville program for the week.
