OBLIGATION

Club Leaders Declare Re-

Not on Them

Clubwomen in San Francisco who
have aided in the fight against the
Barbary coast have had the matter
of providing occupation for the hum
dreds of women who will lose their
means of livelihood when the resorts
on the coast are closed put up to them
directly by Theodore Roche. president
of the board and author of the ordi-
nance. which goes into effect after
September so.
The women in turn have repudiated
Mr.. Roche's claim that they must be-
come responsible for the future of
these women. and many of them have
expressed surprise that he should
adopt such an attitude
| JOBS PLENTIFUL, MRS. sPERRY
Mrs. George B. Sperry, chairman of
the welfare committee OF the New
Era league, said:
The idea as proposed by Commits
sioner Roche is quite a new one to
me and is a view of the situation
which I had not before taken. l had
not thought of it.
TT is indeed difficult problem and
one which would require much
thought before undertaking the task
of providing acceptable occupation
for women who are accustomed to
working two or three hours out of the
"A and getting $50 a week or more.
"It would be difficult. too, for these
women to adjust themselves to an
industrial occupation of any sort after
the easy lives they have led, as far
as actual work goes. The eight hour
day, for instance, would seem tre-
mendous hardship.
There is undoubtedly shortage of
women for work of all kinds. 1t is
hard to get woman to come in by
the day even. There are so few
women to clean for you, or even to
sew. We have to employ Japanese in
elf-defense.
