UNORGANIZED WOMEN, VICTIMS;
OF WAGE DISCRIMINATION

Curious ignorance on the subject
of pay is found in unorganized trades
strike broke out in a shirt factory
in the East End, London. The quar-
rel was between the men and their
employers, but the women came out
in support of the men, and when a
trade union organizer tried to take
a register of their wages it was found
that in two workrooms in that fac
tory, where the women were working
upon the very same sort of shirts,
cut out by the same people from
the same bale of material, there was
a difference in wages of between As
and SO per cent.
The reason was the difference Of
attitude on the part of the forewo-
men. One forewoman had insisted
upon keeping up the rates in her
workroom, and the other, being more
tfmid, had not done so; but the
workers were totally ignorant of this
condition until the formation of a
union among them brought it out

GREED Of men { CAUSE:
0F. BREAD LINE WAGE

Preaching the doctrine of the Sis
terhood Of women, Miss Mary Boyle
O'Reilly, the famous settlement work
er and student of social and economic
conditions, in an address on "1niquity
of the Breadline Wage before the
Cambridge Citizens association some
days ago, scored the employers of
cheap labor and called upon women
of all classes to stand together in the
fight to help the girl and woman who
tolls.
In the beginning it was said that
IT women's wages were small it would
open new ways for wage earning.
Thirty years ago there were 10000
women workers in Boston, exclusive
Of domestic service. Twenty years
ago Massachusetts had 100000 WON.
en- workers, as against AZ in Arizona
and 18 in Nevada.
Under existing conditions two
thirds of the women workers of Mas
sachusetts are under thirty years of
age and one-fifth are voorhees, work.
ers every year. One-half of the
laundry workers, one-half of the tall
dresses, and three-quarters of the boot
and shoe workers are thrown out Of
employment at least once year.
Now to dwell on the working girl
herself. We all. know the typical
working girl thrust out almost in
childhood to earn bread-line wage.
They are immature, self-assertive,
under fed, ill-housed; badly clothed.
and, by birth, youth and environment,
naturally excitable, pleasure-loving,
susceptible, unframed, and the cheap
est factor in the industrial world. -.
Girls drift into industries that are
stamped with the sin of bread-line
wages, for one of four reasons. They
are divided into these groups:
"First-Those who choose a trade
and are trained. This group has a
pitifully small percentage.
"SecOnd-ThOse who are thrust out
by misfortune and grasp the first work
offered.
"Third-Those who are born to
work and who take anything without
interest or energy.
Fourth-Those unhappy little vic
tins. defective in mind or body, who
work only under protest.
Girls who work for a bread-line
wage are easily recognized. Their
bodies are stunted by mal-nutrition
or bad heredity; their minds saturated
by cheap literature and the cheaper
theater.
"Woman's hopes for the future are
overshadowed with the knowledge
that there is no place in the working
world for the aging working woman.
Eighty per cent of the young work
ers drift into dead-end occupations,
serving meaningless apprenticeship
that, pays them pittu4ce for a few
years, and leaves them at eighteen un-
trained, unprepared for the future,
and victims of casual employment.
Want. of employment is the chief
cause of poverty. Out of work is in
deed an omlnous phrase when we re-
member that the girl is young, unpro-
tected, craving changes, having natur
ally tendency to loaf, and SO falling an
easy prey to the subtle Insecurity of
being penniless.
1T is the iniquity of the bread-line
wage that a very large part of the
women who work earn wages that
will not supply the urgent needs of
life.
Such beggarly pittance as is paid

WOMEN CHAMPIONS OF
ACCIDENTAL MAYOR
PHONE No. 1900.

SALEM, Mass, July 1.-Victorious
after a long and hard-fought libel
suit. Mayor Arthur Howard of this
city, who admits he Is almost penni-
less today had further triumph
when 500 women who subscribed d
dollar each to bail bond in his re-
cent suit, refused to take their money
back and insisted on its being RE-
tanned In purchase of stock in a lit
tie newspaper run by the mayor.
Howard. who has acquired fame in
New England as political> accident,
has travelled a rocky road since be-
ing elected mayor here. He has been
consistently and bitterly opposed by
the politicians of the town and has
only won out by the aid of the wo-
men of the city. who have always
been his earnest partisans.

FUND FOR GERMAN GIRLS

Each week there is pasted in the
little blank book that every servant
girl in Germany must possess a post
age stamp to the value of cents. The
stamp is a donation, compulsory un-
der the German law, which the mis-
tress must afford the servant: Should
the girl fall i'll, the stamps are re-
deemed by the government, or the
servant may retain the stamps in
definitely, until when she has at
tanned a ripe old age. the govern
ment pays her a premium for them.

woman worker merely living part
of a great machine. She does every
thing habltually and automatically.
Hundreds, yes, even thousands OF
times in day, there is no end to the
monotony, no change to the life.
"An idle mind makes it's own temp
tations. Exhaustion and monotony
crave exciting pleasures. Confinement
by overstimulating nerve-centers un.
dermines and diminishes the powers
of self,control.
For the working girl, every outlet
for the recreation she should have
adds new damage to mind and mem

wickedness, scores Of working women
are leading lives of heroic virtue, and
their voices out of the depths will &C.

Eager to save a few cents to be
later wasted in folly, the thoughtless
consumer creates demand for the
velvety-straw braid, whose green or
black dust poisons the worker, for the
highly scented soaps whose caustic
acid. eats the bleeding fingers of the
girl packers, for the phosphorous
matches whose deadly fumes-even
when kept under water-attack the

they are slow.
