From time TO time there is talk OF organ
tzing stenOgraphers. Attempts have been
made in several cities, but the varied class
there is TO deal with prevents satisfactory
achievement. There is an organization of
stenOgraphers principally in New York
city, maintained as a social institution. that
does great amount OF good for its mem
bers, bat its principles are not along lines
calculated TO assist those needing help. The
society OF stenographers is composed of
what may be termed experts and consti-
tutes the -four hundred" OF shorthand re-
porters- The line is sharply drawn so as to
eliminate the more poorly-paid. and the So
ciety makes 1t its duty to look after its own
members to the discrimination of the less
expert. n this way many good positions
are denied available applicants and they
keep the mediocre class from advancing to
places that pay the best salaries. Similar
societies exist in other large cities and are
maintained on like principles.
The effort of labor organizations to reach
those below the -four hundred has failed
Tor several reasons. Perhaps the prime
reason is that the demand for stenograph-
ers is more than supplied and competition
is so sharp among the common class that
Wo6tS are cut 10 Il minimum. Another par
rter, and one which probably works the
greatest harm to the girl who depends upon
employment for her living, and, in many
cases, TO help support an entire family is
the girl who has a good home and merely
works Tor pin money" The latter class
OF stenOgrapherS represents no small per
cent Of office helpers and assistants The
girl who has well-to-do father usually has
certain amount of influence which ne ex-
ercises In securing position for his daugh-
ter This situation obtains in all cities, and
invariably the dependent girl is kept out of
many gOOd-paying positions by the pin
money" stenographer.
This class of stenOgrapherS rarely inter-
feres with the experts, and thus the burden
or their competition is thrown upon the
needy class In the common class there is
also grading which serves to hinder a
movement to organize them. An advertise
city for a stenOgrapher will fill an office
building the next morning with shorthand
writers demanding salaries all the way
from % to $40 week. An employer seldom
takes the time to inquire into the financial
affairs OF the applicants. and he selects the
best OF the lot If one states that she is the
daughter of so-and-so her chances are the
better, and If she is pretty it is not to her
disadvantage.
These varied conditions make one big
proposition that active labor organizers
