man who is doing, as in the case of
the mattresses, a. mans work. Of
course, there are exceptions, but in
the main you will find woman's,
constitution stands less strain than
that of man. She tires more easily.
And if her employment forces her to
work when she is physically exhaust
ed, it just means that the human ma
chine is wearing out that much
faster.
when one stops to think of the
question you asked me, whether a
girl who works seven days a week
is menacing her health, it seems an
outrageous thing to have to ask. 1t
seems almost impossible that it
should be condition.
why, in the beginning of the
world six days were made to labor
and one to rest Then surely there
is no need to question whether that
one day of rest is a vital necessity?
''To the working girl it is not only
vital in order that she may rest, but
it should appeal to her employer as
necessary, for the girl who works on
Sunday must do a dozen little per-
sonal services for herself at night that
otherwise she would do on the day of
rest, and therefore she does these
things at the end of long, hard day
and it makes her that much less
strong the next day. 1t is funny that
employers are not sufficiently far
sighted to see this.
But the thing l feel most strong
ly," she said in conclusion, is the
unfairness of married women work
ing. They are not only taking work
from the self-supporting woman, but
they are, by their competition, low
ering the wages of men and striking
at the very backbone of the home"

HERE'S. A BULLY CHANCE FOR

floor of building at 800 South Wa
bash avenue which is being used by
the Women's Trade Union League for
an excellent purpose. 1t is open to
household workers every Thursday
afternoon from 4:30 until 10 o'clock
at night Refreshments are served,
followed by an entertainment in the
evening.
The plan has been worked out by
Miss Mary Anderson of the league
and, interviewed by Day Book re-
porter, she outlined the ambition
back of the movement.
There is surely no class of girls
who have less freedom than the
household workers" she said, land
it is therefore our desire that they
may have one place to come where
they will be away from the environ
ment of pots and pans and the
watchful eyes of some tyrannicaI
mistress.
Household workers are hedged
about and almost stified by their en-
vironment. Unlike women workers
in any other field, they cannot have
hours of forgetfulness of the drudg-
cry of life because they are always
where they must be confronted
with it.
"They spend their days and their
evenings in the kitchen and then go
to a room especially furnished for
them On the one afternoon a week
that they are free they may visit a
friend in some other household or go
down to the stores, but they have no
place they can call their very own.

them that. We hope little later
to have the place open every day in
the week, and that eventually we
may go still further and have house
