Chicago, March 11.—James Simp- son, vice president of Marshall Field & Co., testifying again before the state vice eommission, once more begged to be excused from answering when he was asked as to the profits of his firm. He assured the commission Marshall Field & Co. could subscribe to any minimum wage scale law for women that might be adopted. “It is inevitable,” he said, “that any increase would be paid by the public.” Senator Tossey asked Mr. Simpson if Marshall Field & Co. could raise the Minimum wage of women to $2 a day without raising prices of goods to the consumer. 214 MAIN.

Never mind the pleasures. I suppose when we make a law we'll have to add $1 or $2 for recreation and the like.” The “Hub,” besides its gifts, has a pension fund and sick benefit.
