Work and Wages.

At the recent meeting of the learned
British Association there was a dis
cussion of the difference in the wages
of men and women doing the same
work. The conclusion seemed to be
that there is no great difference, after
all, and therefore not much to dis
cuss.
The same matter is debated now
and then in this country. All right
thinking people will agree that a
woman is entitled to the pay which a
man would receive for the same work,
equally well done.
Nevertheless, this does not mean
that Alice Jones, who is a clerk in
Rupert & Co.'s dry goods store, and
who stands at the counter beside
James Stark, should have the same
weekly wages as he. 1t is the uni
versal custom to put more work and
heavier upon the men, and usually
the greater responsibility is laid on
them.
Moreover, IL Is matter OF common
experience that men are less frequent
ly compelled by Illness to be absent
from their work, and their power of
endurance is, in general, greater.
This is not all, for while 1t takes
one man TO marry one woman, the
man usually continues at his employ
ment after marriage, while the woman
does not. 1t follows that a man, be-
ing more likely to stay and to learn
the ins and outs OF trade, is worth
more to an employer than woman
who may marry and leave him at any
time.
It follows also that in any employ
ment where men and women are at
work together, the average experience
Of the men Is the greater.
