Chicago, March 12.?Reformers and unreformed?the State Senate's vice investigation commission and the women for whose moral downfall the commission is trying to determine the cause differed today on the relation between low wages and low morality. Leters received by the commission from women of the underworld mocked at the work which the legislators are doing. One of these letters signed "K. R. t ? i j. & vauo "To the Commission?Girl don't go wrong because they are hungry, or because they need clothes. They po wronp because they are tempted by lies and overpowerd by the evil in men. "They listen to the fair and pretty thinps that men tell them and they fall because they think they can trust themselves and trust the tempter. It It is not the employer. I was a pood pirl and I worked in a store. "I didn't pet muck money, but that didn't matter. I lived on $8 a week apd would be livinp like that now? but I met men. They seemed to consider me their prey and all the time it was fight, fipht. They wanted to be nice to me, they said, and to take me to the theatre, and treat me fair? and give me a chance to enjoy life. Thought Some Were Good. "I didn't know men were bad?all bad?where a girl is concerned. I thought only women were bad. I thought all a girl had to do to remain pood was to be truthful with herself. God pity women who think that and who keep their trust in men until it is too late. "Every day it was someone else? always smilinp at me?always tryinp to give me a 'fair chance' to be hapnv T~ 4-U~ ? i. 11 " ?i * pj. aii wie oncct vncy ionowea mc. These I could avoid; but the 'friends' who hung around? "That is the big, big secret of the thing that makes a good girl bad. If they had left me be?if they had only left me be?only let me live as I wanted to, I would not have had to \ 1 slink into the room when your commission was trying to solve things and wouldn't have had to sit in a corner with my veil down, afraid to look a good woman in the face." Another cry from the underworld echoed the words of this letter. It was more bitter, though, and it read in part: "You're looking for the things that made such women as I. Low wages? Dance halls? Hunger? Cold? They all helped a bit, but they did not turn trick themselves. You're all a bunch of hypocrites, afraid to look the thing in the face and afraid to learn the truth. Hounded with Attentions. "I don't know any girls who sold themselves for money to buy bread or clothes. But I do know lots of us who hit the road for hell, because a lnf nf hlunl/nmov/lri l'??1 52 v* miuvu^uuiacpt uuunuin^ them with rotten 'attentions.' God help the men and not us. We're all right when w6 start. All we need is to be left alone. There are hundreds and hundreds vof kids and sports who hang around State street and wait and look like wolves for the tired girles to leave the stores. "Why don't you make the men be good? All the wages in the world won't help us. Make the men .good and the girls will be good. "Now they haven't got a chance and they never will have as long as the law smiles at one and spits a* another." This letter was signed with the initials "L. M." While these comments on the situaion continued to pour in the civic consciousness awakened by the commission bestirred itself in the launching of committees and private investigating forces. I *'Tr? cnmo of ?* ?i ? ... uviuv ow ico uuiiiueiA ui ^ins approached their employers to demand larger salaries. All were assured that they would be taken care of as soon as something definite has been agreed upon. Several resignations were tendered by girl employeev as a result of parental advice.
