ELECTRICAL WORK FOR WOMEN.
They Can Make Lamps, Handle Wires

They Can Make Lamps, Handle Wires
and Operate Machines.
The electrical industry is one that
is usually associated with men work
ers unless trouble is taken to investi-
gate large manufacturing establish
ment In which electrical apparatus and
equipment are constructed, and then it
is surprising to find that numbers Of
women are engaged in this work, says
the Baltimore American. There seems
to be no special reason why this branch
of industry should always be consider
ed essentially mems work, and yet most
people would as readily associate wom-
en- with boiler-plate factories as with
electrical works.
On the contrary In some departments
Of this industry, the making Of lamps,
for instance, large part of the actual
work is done by women employees. One
reason for this is that so long as it Is
possible for women to do this work,
and as they will do it for much less
than the men, it is a foregone conclu-
sion that they will be employed In large
numbers. Another and probably quite
as good a reason is that much of the
work consists in handling and adjust
ing tiny wires, some of them intensely
hot, and owing to her infinite capacity
for taking pains, to say nothing of her
more delicate touch, a women can do
this more rapidly and with greater sat
isfactiOn than can a man.

burns caused by clumsy handling Of
the red-hot material with which she
has to work. The first work that the
apprentices or the smaller girls do is
to wash the globes, and for this work
they receive or cents an hour. Ow-
ing to the strict rules of the Glass
Blowers union, all of the incandescent
lamp factories buy their globes, as
glassblOwers are not included among
their employees.
In addition to the work on lamps,
women are employed in the manufac-
ture of many other electrical devices.
Mica, one of the chief insulators used
in electricity, is put through rather
elaborate process of splitting and trim
ming and building up, and women are
employed almost wholly to this work.
They attend to the operation of ma
chimes similar to those used in wooden
and cotton mills, by means of which
cotton or silk is twisted upon wire,
making the covered wire that is such
an important part of much electrical
apparatus. They also operate machines
that are used for winding armatures,
and much of the finer work in the man
ufacture Of electric meters is done by
them. Women also are generally en-
ployed in assembling small devices,
sockets, switches, buttons and all of
the necessary portions of an electric
! light.

Becker declares that the company is in
