some instances less to tho amount of
$500 year There are few we think
who will insist that there is no Injustice
in such inequality OF recompense for
equality of work. There ara few who
womb wish to see the salaries equalizcd
by bringing the mans salary down to
that OF the woman. Yet this is lust what
Is being done in many lines of work and
tne results are often dcplorable Men,
more often than women, and naturally
so, have persons dependent upon their
earnings for livelihood. The home will
be in precarious condition when mems
wages are lowered to the present standard
OF women's wages in many branches of
Industry. 1t is right that quality and
amount of work should determine the
waga and not the sex of the worker, but
with this reservation that the woman's
wage be raised to the level of the man..
This at first might result in considerable
hardship In that many women would be
thrown out Of employment, but the evil
would not be comparable with that re-
sulting from lowering the mems wages.
The remedy would lie In return to
former conditions of home life, in shorter
hours, in the increase of avenues uf EN-
plOyment by increase in consumption.
The tendency, however, is naturally the
other way and it Is very important that
where it is possible, in public employment
as in the schools, the woman's salary
shall be !evclled up to that of the man.
