BY SEh NUDE bAhNUM.
Organizer Of Woman's Trade Union
League.

The Herald Is doing an excellent
work in endeavoring TO find out facts
about working women from the wom-
en- themselves. Usually the last person
consulted on the subject of Industrial
conditions is the worker the one who,
by all rights, knows most about it.
When l hear of an investigation |
tremble. People collect such one-sid-
ed evidence and proceed to issue re-
ports which are accepted as gospel the
moment they are nicely set up in type
and bound in light green with a few
prominent names on the title page
Meanwhile the situation of the uR-
named workers who are holding up the
platform for us TO strut on remains as
before.

Would Increase Woman's Sphere.

Would Increase Woman's Sphere.
And why not? is there any reason
why they should not invade all those
remaining nine. with perhaps the sim
gle exception of war, in which, it is to
be hoped women will be occupied in
preventing rather than in producing?
/ see no logical reason why healthy,
husky women should not be engaged
in bridgemaking as well as in wash
ing and scrubbing. Is her arm not as
strong for roofing as for houseclean-
ing or for carrying babies or coal. or
the scores of other feats of strength
and endurance which she is now en-.
gagged in?
Among the most important and typ
ical occupations of women. with two
exceptions, almost one-third were
more than 25 years of age and yet un-
married. To me that fact seems not
entirely to be deplored am a strong
believer in the theory embodied in ID
sens DOLLS House"-that woman
cannot be a good wife and mother un-
til she is first a self-reliant, self-com-
pretending individual. How can she
understand her husbands large strug-
giles unless she herself has had strug-
giles? How can she lead her sons in
true paths of life If she is lost or shut
away from the larger life?

Testimony Of Women.

No better or surer proof OF these
congratulations could be offered than
tho words of the women and girls
themselves upon the subject
Il am n laundress,' writes one
woman IN a two-page communication
accompanying the blank report sent
20 her II am laundress and am

Reforms Suggested.

II may seem very materiallstic, bu.
to me IL seems of first importance thai
wages should be high enough to make
It possible to keep the race upon tho
earth, with proper food and sufficient
clothing. In 1900 one-fourth of al
women in bakeries and an equal mum
her in glass factories though mort
than 16 years old, received only an av
erage OF $3.50 a week, the year rould
while in the manufacturing of cloth
ing the same proportion were pait
less than three dollars week AND
yet we wonder that women are tempt.
ed by the comforts and luxuries with
which vicious men are ever ready tc
lure them.
What is TO be done?
We must get at the facts by scien.
tifc investigation, make those facts
familiar TO the public, encourage legis-
lation, even constitutional amend
ments, Il need be, and last, and most
important and essential of all help
the organization of women into trades
unions
To tho argument so often offered
that women cannot be unlonized ! can
only reply that women are organized
to-day, and organized most successful
| ly, not In one or two. but in a score OF
more trades and professions. l be
lieve II is not exaggerating to say
that more than 10000 women are pay
ing dues to trades organizations To
day Indeed, the women's trades
union has ceased to be a novelty, anc
It must be only matter of q few
years before the trades union woman
will he the rule rather than the excep
tion among the millions of her seq
who toll for their daily bread and tha
/ OF their children.

Figures on Industries.

FlHhIEb vi lEIhoAlNos
The manufacture of cloth and cloth
ing employed the second largest mum
ber, or nearly 100000. Agriculture
came next, employing nearly 100000.
Women outnumber men in drcssmak-
ing, millinery and the unclassified
sewing trades which occupied two
thirds Of million workers The only
other trades properly socalled that
show any such proportion Of women,
are the shirt, collar and cuff making
the overhaul and overcoat industry and
paper box making. Since nearly every
thing we buy from hats to shoes,
comes TO us In paper boxes, the i'm
portance OF the latter trade can be
easily estimated; SO per cent OF its
workers are women. The other indus
trlos show smaller proportions OF wom-
en- in 1900 However among tobacco
and cigar operators. two-thirds are
women and Of the bookbnders more
than half OF those engaged in the
nursing profession 80 per cent. were
women; I'm laundering. So per cent.
and In domestic service. SO per cent.
The only remaining important occu.
pations given over largely to women
were stenography and typewrlting,
with u per cent, and teaching with
73 per cent women. 1t was quite
natural that women should follow the
domestic occupations. as they went
out OF their own homes. and then
turned next to such ladylike work as
secretaryship clerkship or teaching
But even In 1900 they had invaded all
but nine OF the 1903 occupations In
which men are engaged in this coun-
try.
