There is greater demand for woman
labor in Wilmington now than at any time
for several years. Some of the employers
would give premiums to any one who
would find them such labor, and guarantee
the girls would remain with them for six
months after they were taught the business
One manufacturer said that he would give
premium of one dollar each to any person
who would work for six months Within
the past two years number of establish
ments have been located in Wilmington
which employ girl labor, and, while few
years ago complaint was made that girls
could not find employment, there is now
complaint that employment cannot find
girls. The good times are Of course respon-
sible for this, for employers find the same
difficulty in securing men. Those in
terested in a ferry line between Whining
ton and Pennsgrove claim it would be
means of bringing more girls to work. The
New Jersey girls come to Wilmington and
secure employment, and the ferry would
take them across the river in ample time to
their employment and also in time to get
their sunnpr in the evani mn ,pbo, tb n ~ ,,o..
through work. That would bring business
to that city and would also cause other
New Jersey people to go to Wilmington to
trade
