G., describes poverty and forced entry into sex work after her husband’s death. A 17 year old girl recounts brutal coercion and repeated assaults at the resort. Senators react with shock and request coroner lists of women who died by own actions due to unemployment pressures.

Bar Candidates From the Booths Ruling Sparks Debate
City Attorney A H Schubert ruled that candidates for office are ineligible to serve as election officials at registration primaries or elections, a decision that would disqualify about half the current officials including aldermen and many supervisors.
