MARRIED WOMEN WORKERS

and also by the testimony of nearly every working woman one encounters.
 The reason given is economic. It is that women have so supplanted men in certain employments that men can no longer find work to do. The women are given the preference. Consequently, when man is out of work, the wife often has the better opportunity to become the breadwinner for the family. Unless the man is specially trained to some particu- lar trade or business, he has to compete not only with men in a similar condi- tion, but with an army of women who can afford to work for less wages. This is not only humiliating, but it is re- version of the laws of society. The man is the natural breadwinner, and the wom- an the natural home-tender. And dis turbance of this relation is likely to end in social disaster.
 If the situation be correctly stated, and 1t is plausible enough to contain some truth, 1t unalterably points to a few con clusions. One is that society or the state must ultimately agree to compel all men to be specially trained for some particular work. Another is that the industrial system in the United States needs to be reorganized. The right of husband and father to the opportunity of supporting his family should be recognized by a more active principle than that of mere acqui- essence. Other things being equal, men with families to support should be given the preference over other workers and there ought to be some way of making this rule imperative.
