Do you find them equal in speed to
tnen?"
There may be exceptional speed on
the part Of some, but we have no means
of comparing their capabilities In that
way with those Of men.
You have, doubtless, seen accounts
Of contests between operators. Now
women never take part in these contests
but as have said before, some OF the
quickest ladies may be equal to the best
gentlemen operators in the rapidity with
which they can receive and dispatch mes
,SaEes."
What can young women earn as
operators?"
The lowest we pay Is twenty dollars
a month; the highest sixty-five."
PROFICIENCY AND TRAINING REQUIRED.
You say that you engage young
people only when they have acquired
certain degree Of proficiency"
g Yes; we have minimum OF capa-
blity with regard to both sexes. Some
candidates for engagement are far ahead

that means would be adopted to teach

THE UNAVOIDABLE VIEW.
A call upon another leading printer
resulted in report less satisfactory to
the ladies' and their friends.
The bluntly expressed answer to the
same comprehensive question with
which the above conversation opened
was:
Females are nuisance in printing
Office"
Will you kindly give your reasons for
this conclusion?'
When working with men 1t seems
impossible to keep them from flirting
They are inclined to talk and will talk,
while men will work quietly all day long.
Women will talk and nothing can stop
them.
"A man learns trade to work at it
fora lifetime, hut all women expect to get
married and do not manifest the same
interest as men in their work on ac-
count of this expectation. l pay my
girls the same rates as men, but on the
average they earn only half as much.
II find, besides, that it's useless to
expect them to work ten hours n day as
men do. They seem not to be capable Of
the same concentration OF mind uron
their work as men are and their attcn.
ton soon gives out.
But you employ female compositions"
" Yes, do. One of them have is the
grand-daug ltcr of the woman with whom
| boarded when | was journeyman !:
ore of them is the daughter OF an old
compositor who has worked for me
many years, and there do similar reasons
why the few | have are continued.
II have taught them all that they know,
at my place. They are no use except to
set reprint and ordinary manuscript,
and are helpless except in picking up
type needing their cases to be lifted, and
are nuisance generally.

+ ant, "my men struck, and advertised to
teach women composition. l engaged be-
tween thirty and forty. They turned the

until lately, were followed exclusively by

type, Is one of these.
FAVORABLE VIEW OF THEIR WORK THERE.
The testimony of the head OF large

embodied in the following passages from

representatives:

DECORATION OF VASES, ETC.
Some years ago whom d representative
OF the celebrated Doulton factory in
England visited the United States, Am
erican ladies went crazy over the posi-
bilitieS of ceramic decoration which lay
before them. Many of them began, and
same Of them continue, to paint vases in
water colors.
The plan adopted was not encouraging,
however, to the industrial opportunities
OF women. Ladies who paint vases and
such matters, with few exceptions, have
to buy the vessel, decorate and then sell
it, II they care to. In England, on tho
contrary, the rule is for the factory to
employ lady artists.
Vases are painted before or after being
glazed. In the former case greater care
is required, the colors having to be burnt
in subsequent to the completion of the
decoration, which cannot then DO injured
excepting through the glaze.
