ROOM FOR WOMEN WORKERS IN TOWNS.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In a magazine article called Queens Of the
Shop the Workroom and the Tenement" 1 found q
statement that women of New-York employed arti-
fetal fower-makers, cgarctte-makers, soapwrappers,
ostrich featherworkers. die OF poison In few years.
Flower-makers and cgnrette-mahers poisoned by
arsenic and nicotine soapwppes by caustc soda and
featherworkers by the dyes used in colorng the
feathers. The oppression Of sewing women is also
their suffering dying sisters from horrible doom.
This article made a deep impression upon my mind,
and in thinking Of ii two questions REQUIRED 10 me
Why do not these change their occupation
Why do they not come out into the towns, into this
very town of Warren, Ohio, and engage In the many
healthful, wellpaid empOyments whose doors wide
open TO them7
In Warren, Ohio, to-day, factory hands, milllners,
dressmakers cooks, nurses, washerwoen, In great
demand and such laborers paid good wages. The
same is true Of Niles, Youngstown and many sur
rounding towns Why will women stay In New-York
and die when they can come ont into the towns and
live and thrive! II IL be said that they ignorant
OF other trades than their Own, answer the women
of Warren are competent and willing to teach them
how to cook TO wash, and TO SOW: and certainly IN
New York where there are many societies for the
purpose OF helping women to help themselves theee
suffering women would be aided till they could LIT
themselves out Of muTderous trades Surely the Young
WOmen's Christian Association would help them In
Warren may be found plenty Of work, good wages and
cheerful homes. JUSTINE IDDINGS BALDWIN.
