Rockefeller Writes of
Origin, Work and the
Plans as Formulated
-
New York. Jan. 27. John D. Rocke
feller Jr gives out for publication the I
p follow inc statement of the origin.
&" -work and plan? of the bureau of so- j
cial hygiene:
The bureau of social hygiene came1
into existence about two years, ai a
n result of the work of the special
grand jury appointed to Investigate
the white slave traffic In New York
jj city, which served during the first
J half of the ear 1 ft 1 1 One of the
recommendations mnde by it in the
. prospntmpni handed u r .it the termi
115 nation of its labors was thai a publii
a. coniraissior be appointed to study the
ill social evil The foreman of thai
II body subsequently c.ive careful eon-
sideration to the character of the!
work which might properly be done 1
by such a commission and the limi
c tstions Midcr which it would oper
" te. In this connection separate, pcr
qj, sonal conferen were held with over
151 100 leading men and women in the
city, among whom werr lawyers, phy
sicians, business men. bank presi-i
E dents, presidents of commercial or
ganization, clergymen. settlement
workers, social workers, labor lead
f 'Crs and reformers. These conterences
developed the feeling that a public!
commission would labor undpr a num
k , ber of disadvantages sm li a. iho fact
thai it v ould he short lir-d; tint Its
S -w ork would be done publi Ij . thai at
best it could hardly do more than
present recommendations The cou-'
. vict on also grew that the main rea
tm son why more permanent results had
not been obtained by the various or
H ganizatlons which had dealt with the
si-.b.'crt of the socnl eil during the
(' p.'.st 10 or 15 years was that most of
them were temporary While active.
r they materially improved the situa
tion, but as their efforts were relax
ed there came the inevitable return
to much the same conditions as be
fore The forces of evil are neer
greatly alarmed at the organization
of investigating or reform bodies, for
they know that they are generally
composed of busv people, who can
not turn aside from their own affairs
for any great length of time to carry
or. reforms, and that soon cr later
their efforts will cease, and the pa
"F tlent denizens of the underworld and
their exploiters can then reappear and
continue the traffic as formerly
"So the conviction grew that in or
der to make a real and lasting im
provement in conditions, a permanent
organization should be created, the
jH continual ion of w hich would not be
'III dependent upot ni r. wave of
111 reform, nor upon the life of any man
or group of men. but which would go
on. generation after generation, con
tinuously making warfare against the
jjrj forces of ev.l It also appeared that
, a private organization would have,
among other advantages, a certain
Km freedom from publicity and from po--ISbT
'itical bias, which a publicly appoint
ed commission could not so easily
avoid.
"Therefore, as the initial step, in j
I the winter of 1911 the bureau of so- I
cm 1 hygiene was formed. Its pres-
ent members are Miss Katharine Be
$ ment Davis superintendent of the
New York state reformatory for wo
men at Bedford Hills. New York Paul
aM. Warburg, of the firm of Kuhn
Loob & Co.; Starr J. Murphy, of the
New York bar; and John D. Rockefel
ler Jr As the work develops, new
members will be added.
"One of the first things undertaken
by the bureau was the establishment
at Bedford Hills, adjacent to the re
formatory, of a laboratory of social
hygene. under Miss Davis' direction
In this laboratory it is proposed to
study from the physical, mental, so
cial and moral side each person com
mitted to the reformatory. This study
b 1 will be carried on by experts and
each case will be kept under obser
vation for from three weeks to three
months, as ma be required When
the diagnosis is completed it is hoped
that the laboratory will be in position
to recommend the treatment most
likely to reform the individual, or. If
reformation is impossible, to recom
mend permanent custodial care Fur
thermore, reaching out bevond the
individuals, it is believed that thus
Important contributions may be made
to a fuller knowledge of the condi
tions ultimately responsible for rice
If this experiment is successful, the
principle may prove applicable to all
classes of criminals and the condi
tions precedent to crime, and lead to
5 lines of action not only more eclen
tlfic and humane but also less waste
n)j ful than those at present followed

HOUSE MAY
INVESTIGATE
Rep. Berger Asks for In
quiry Into Garment
Workers' Strike
Washington. Jan. 27 Investigation
of conditions in the garment working;
industry in New York, was proposed
jn a resolution today by Representa- ,
tive Berger the Socialist member
from Wisconsin The resolution
would authorize the appointment of a
special committee of seven members j
to Inquire into the conditions sur-
rounding the garment-making trade
and the recent strike.
In the preamble of his resolution.
Mr Berger sets forth that the New
York clothing Industry supplies the
irade of a large section of the coun
try through interstate trade, that the
wages of the industry are so low "that
health surroundings and a decent :
standard of living hae hecorae al-
most impossible"
Msery Breeds Vice
"It is further charged," (ontinues
the preamble, that vice and crime
re bred ot the needless misery co
incident to the manufacture of the
nation's clothing and further, that
-aid manufacture is carried on in 1
filth and unsanitary places saturat
ed with germs of consumption, small
pox. scarlet feer and other cou
tagious diseases."
Mr. Berger'8 resolution sets forth
that clothing made in such condi
tions Is a "serious menace and danger
to the welfare and health of all."
In a statement accompanying his
resolution. Mr Berser said that he
desired to show "the close connec
tlon which the intolerable economic
condition of the garment workers
hear to crime and vice on the one
haml and how these economic condi
tions revenge themselves upon all the
oeople. because the people allow
them."

HOUSE WEI! .
FORTIFIED
Mounted and Foot Police
Guard Against Deter
mined Suffragettes
London. Jan. 27 - The British cabi- j
net loday decided to drop the iran
chise bill. This decision was in de- '
terence to the speaker's ruling that
the form end substance of the meas- I
ure would be so materially altered b I
the amendment granting the ote to'
women, that it ought to be presented
in the shape of a new bill.
The precincts of the house of om
mon presented many of the features
of a well defined encampment when
the house met this afternoon to brln
to a conclusion the current chapt.
of the work lor the enfranchlsemen'
of women. Mounted and foot police
were to be seen everywhere In great
strength. Tv o thbusarrd patrolmen
nd 100, mounted men were actually
on duty, while large reserves were
hidden in the vicinity of parliament.
Premier Aquith repudiated the
Suggestion that the government had
been guilt v of sharp practice regard
ing the Question of woman suffrage.
He declared the members of the cabi
net had honestly endeavored to cam
out their pledge to challenge a deci
slon from the house on woman Buf- :
irage The government, he continued
had now pledged itself to give to a j
woman suffrage bill introduced by a
private member next session the
same facilities as it had given to the
controversible government measure
allowing members complete freedom
to vote in accordance with their in
dividual predilections.
Suffragettes Ominously Quiet.
Those suffragettes who had been
admitted into the outer lobbv of the
house of commons and those In the
vicinity of the house took the rebuff 1
to their hopes with ominous quiet
The outer lobby was safely guarded
QJ lines of police so as to prevent any .
possibility of the women breaking in.
and the inner sanctum was crowded
with representatives of various suf
frage societies, but there was no
demonstration when Premier .s
quith s announcement became know n.
Militants to Hold Meeting.
Mrs. Emmiline Pankhurst and her
sister militants w-ill hold a meeting
tonight to settle their course of ac
tion. The great display of police effect
ually dampened any projected out
breaks n the open space fronting
the houses of parliament The
crowds of women, many carrying
sandwich boards advertising the
views of rival organizations for and
against woman suffrage were swept
back from Parliament Square to the
adjoining streets and barriers of
sturdy policemen effectively closed 1
all the approaches to the house of!
commons.
WIU Not Accept Proposed Bill
After the government decision had
become known Mrs Pankhurst stateJ
that the women could not accept for 1
a moment the suggestion of a private:
members bill added:
"Unless we are told that we are !
to hae a government measure giving
pqual voting rights to men and wom
en or that the so-called suffragist j
ministers have resigned, our dutv is;
immediately to resume militancy."
Women Prepare to Fight.
Mrs. Pankhurst called for the
names and addresses of those who
wore 'prepared to take part in the
gallant onslaught."
The suffragette leader declared
that there were many women who
were prepared to endanger their lives 1
In the cause.
Miss Annie Kenny, who has been !
vers prominent In (he maneuvers of
,the militants, added that the women1
'would make the lives of public men
impossible." nd ln rcply to an in
terruptor, said
Shopmen Board Up Windows-
"If you are a shopkeeper, you had
better look out- 11 is not just your
windows which are coing to be at
tacked It is something e Wo
I are going to get this question settled
once for all." ....
Manv shops immediately began to
board up their windows.
A declaration of guerilla warfare
by the suffragettes, including sorties
and riots, to begin at once was made
bj Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst, the
militant leader, at a meeting this
evening.
