fsition, reducing the payment made
TO women TO a half or third of that
given TO men for the same work, on
the score that wife-maintenance
was imposed upon men and husband
maintenance was not imposed upon
women.
A fourth factor In the result bas-
ed itself upon the same root evil.
The alliance of sex and barter pro-
vided the woman with an additional
means OF livelihood-m or
prostitution--and Inscriptions EN-
ployers took full advantage OF this.
Why Momen Are Underpaid No 2.
Still one other aspect of the action
iof this wife-maintenance practice
calls for attention. Women's work
in the labor market was always look
ed upon as temporary the average
woman woul get married some day
and be supported. She ives merely
temporary visitant TO the industri-
al world, and even II her lot for a
time was hard. II was a matter OF
comparatively small moment--later
she would be logically secur of life
maintenance.
Every practice. every excuse.
comes back finally to that source.
Wife-maintenance is the chief cause
OF the underpayment of the woman
worker.
The root of the special Industrial
evil from which women workers suf-
fer Is the custom among men OF
giving, and among women Of taking
an economical return for sex. THE
sex OF man is not worth any money
to him; il does not bring him food
and shelter. He must depend upon
his human powers for bis livelihood.
But 10 women, sex has been made a
way of life. an industry, trade, and
the woman worker seeking her live
'ihood by her human powers alone
sacrificed TO a continuance OF
these conditions. Marriage depen-
denee. and not the want OF the suf-
frage, is thus seen to be the primary
cause Of the sweating OF women
workers. Pallation OF the present
conditions may be achieved by the
use OF the vote and b. the weapons
OF organization, but only palliations.
Sex and economies have been knit
together, and the economics OF the
position OF women cannot be solved
apart from this question OF sex-bar-
ter. Full economic opportunity for
women. equal pay for equal work.
with apprenticeship and training
facilities, are antagonistic OF wife,
maintenance. The new demands
and the old condition cannot subsist
together, but the abolition OF the
old condition must place upon the
very women who make the new de-
mands heavy burden-tte burden
OF personal economic independence.
II this burden is .shouldered there is
hope. II II Is shirked, II iegis-
latiye compulsions rs applied to sup
lport an unstable condition for the
protection and advantage OF women,
then We shall see the women's move
mcnt peter out into insignificant
futility, the new voters playing with
their new toy. and the great prob
lens with their harvest OF evils iy-
ing untouched.
