WOMEN IoILING IN IRON.

New Departure In n Pittsbur Eh Rolling
MIN.
Six sturdy women in this city are cut
ting out n line of work for the sex that
may have interesting effects on the
~wage-carning opportunities for men,
says n Pittsburgh correspondent Of the
New York Press. Up to this time when
women have boldly entered fields hith-
crto monopolized by men those lines
of work have been chosen hat called
for comparatively little physical effort.
Or. to put it in another way, the ambi-
lions of the new woman arc intellectual
rather than physical. In the iron mills
here intelligent women are doing work
which heretofore has been done by
men or strong, growing young fellows
boys they are called.
These six women are employed by
the Monongahela Tin-Plate company to
manipulate the heavy iron sheets be-
fore the metal is trimmed.
Mrs. Hattie Williams was the first
wonan to make the experiment. She is
the wife of n Woodworking Wclshman,
n tinInakcr by trade. She knew some
thing of the work before she began,
for she had seen women working in the
mills and mines in Wales. Her exam
pie was soon followed by five other
women.
The labor ut which these women
spend their time is termed opening"
and the operatives are known rs
Openers" The duties consist in scpa-
arating the sheets of thin, rolled iron,
after they leave the rolls. and preparing
them for the process of timing or being
soaked in molten tin. In rolling out
the iron sheets from which the tin
plate is made, the block plate, after
being given one pass through the
heavy rolls, is doubled and again sent
through. when il is once again doubled,
this being continued until, when the
plate is finished, it is made up of eight
sheets. These sheets, after being
shcarcd and then gradually cooled, are
separated or opened" The work is
accomplished by blows from n hammer
on an iron instrument, shaped like Il
chisel. Once this is done the plates go
to the thinning department.
This is the only known instance
where women have worked right in
among the heavy machinery of the
sheet mills. To the women themselves
the labor is not d~isagrccablc. Mrs.
Williams declares that she prefers the
work To scrubbing. II is not nearly so
hard, She says. and, while it may seem
rough, it really is not. except on the
hands. In handling the thin tin the
fingers are often cut or torn By sharp
points or ragged edges.
