HER REPORT TELLS
OF WOMEN'S WOES
Mrs. ]. Borden Hartman Pre-
sents Separate Industrial
Relations Report.
FEMININE WORKERS
MENACE WAGE SCALE
A Fair Days Pay and the Cost of
Living Not Properly Figured,
She Says in Document.

SAN FRANCISCO. September 1S-Mrs
j. Borden Hartman of New York, a
member of the federal commission on in
dustrial relations, made public here today
portions of Il report which she presented
to the commission concerning the eco
nomic situation of women. This report,
she said. being of subsidiary nature,
would not be formally presented to Con-
gress, but might be of service if that
body should establish a perma nent COM
mission on industrial relations.
The principle of a fair days pay for
a fair days work figures little, and the
cost of living figures less. in determin-
ing the wage level for women in indus
try her report says.
No Argument Necessary.
between conditions menacing the well
fare of women in industry and social
unrest is not necessary 1t would re-
uuire a reckless optimism to contend
that several million wage-earners,
working at rates indisputably below
those which men could, or would, ac-
cept, were not a menace to the wage
scale or that large numbers of women
conditions prejudicial to their physical
organization are without social and
industrial significance.
But it is necessary to call attention
to the fact that because of the youth
of the large majority of wage earning
women and the comparative brevity
of their industrial life they lack the
solidarity necessary to make effective
protest.
Their Children Take Places.
Women pass from industry into
homes of their own to become mothers
of well born or i'll born children. These
latter go back to the mills, factories,
Offices and stores to take the places
of those retreating from the battle for
bread.
whether each turn of this human
spiral leads to a higher or lower
plane of physical. mental and moral
life depends largely upon the condi-
tions under which women work.
No Official Standing, He Says.
CHICAGO, September 1S-Lewis X.
Brown, who was secretary of the in
dustial relations commission, said to-
day that any report that Mrs. j. Borden
Hartman, who was member of the
commission, may make now will have
no official standing.
