Small Pay For Many Girls

Small Pay for Many Girls.

The average wages of 150,000 ill fated working girls of New York is 60 cents a day, and that includes the income of the stylish cashiers who get $2 a day as well as the unfortunate girls who receive 30 cents a day in the east side factories and shops. The lot of the average saleswoman who has not the help and shelter that parents or a married brother or sister could share is hard indeed. One has only to look into the pale, pinched faces of these poor girls to know that thousands of them are actually starving to death. And that, too, in New York.--New York World.
