Women

The Northwestern railroad, with
Offices In Chicago, decides that girl
photographers must go. Chicago
always did startle us with new
ideas, but the action OF the North
western railroad in deciding that
the women employed throughout
the entire system must go Is
causing much CONSERVATION among
a Of stenographers who have
held positions so long in the
Offices.
It's q "mean shame" some de-
clare, and feel most rebellious.
Others are wondering II they are
solid enough to defy the decision
and hold their jobs. A few are
planning how they can step back
to the domestic side Of life again
and earn a living as their mothers
did before them.
Will this decision influence other
large corporations2 II SO, twill
