WOMEN At FIELD WORK.
Foreigners in Male Dress Take the
Place of Men.

From the Worcester 8Iassl Telegram
Tobacco planters OF Southern Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut have made a
frank confession Of what they call an i'm
portant fact that they have solved mucE
of the difficulty Of farm labor. In the
spring they could not find men enough
to do their work Several Polish women
heard of their troubles and asked how
much they would pay them 10 work In
the fields 1t was agreed that they should
have the same wages as men FOR looking
after the growing plants They appeared
i'm short dresses. and did very well but
still there was the constant danger OF
disturbing the leaves OF tobacco. Finally
one OF the brightest of the women ap-
peared In the conventional Overalls OF
the men. and proved that they were all
right FOR the work. Others followed and
il is claimed that thousands Of these
women earned from $3.50 TO $3.50 a day IN
the tobacco fields last summer. They left
their jobs as dOmestics for the better pay.
and they got plenty Of outdoor exercise.
They have done the work better than
men on the average. and the planters
want them again next season. Some OF
the tobacco farmers have said that they
will e'nploy only women in their fields.
so long as they will work. and there IS
no disposition TO ask them 20 do the
labor for less than has been paid men.
