Witnesses defend low wages for women against immorality charge
Chicago March 10 William C Thorne vice president of Montgomery Ward testified before a wage commission that a girl adrift can live on eight dollars a week with room and board and small expenses. He argued a minimum weekly wage of twelve dollars for women is excessive and would force factory job losses. Other retailers echoed the stance, saying current earnings cover essentials and benefits. The commission planned further hearings next week as it seeks links between wages and morality.
