Many a working woman believes she is
being unjustly treated; that she knows
more about the business that the head OF

fifth or one-tenth the pay. And yet 1t
seems that something besides the vote
Is keeping woman from the high positions
and managerial posts where We would
most expect to find her The last census
Of occupations. issued June 20, 1914, gives
but eight women among 126 clothing fac
tory officials in the United States; one
woman among sixty-nine officials in silk
mills. two women to 1,713 managers Of
cotton mills, fourteen women among 155
managers Of lace mills, and twenty-four
women to l35 managers of corset fac
tories, These are only selected instances
where We would naturally look for wom-

Philadelphia opened the first and largest
medical school for women in the world
in 1SjO-nineteen years before women got
the vote even in Wyoming-there were

this is precisely where woman ought to

part of a physicians practice is with

greatest boon to lazy men that ever

Workers Worst Thing for World,
Miss Hall Says.
By MISS FLORENCE R. HALL.

Chairman Public Interests Committee, PennsylEania
Association Opposed 10 Woman Suffrage
I have been asked: What has work
mems compensation to do with woman
suffrage? And if it is true that the male
suffrage States led in this sort OF legis-
lation, and that the four oldest suffrage
States-wyoming. Colorado, Idaho, and
Utah-are behind and without it, does it
not show that it is because they don't
believe in giving compensation just to
mem"
The questioner. of course was not
aware that the sO-called ''tyrant male
has no monopoly on the benefits from
workmen's compensation, though the
working of these acts indicates that the
women were asleep. or busily engaged in
the battle about the ballot while these
laws were framed.
And workmens compensation has now
reached the point where it is almost a
disgrace for a State to be without such
provisions. Most of the acts include all
or nearly all occupations and cover wom-
en- as well as men. who are engaged in
the industries listed. New York lists
practically all occupations. as do most OF
the other twenty-three States with work
mems compensation laws, though many
do not allow compensation where less
than five persons are employed, and sew
eral omit casual occupations or those
from which the employer derives no
profit. The somewhat incidental disCrim-
ination against women in compensation
laws. however. happens to come only in
Washington State where women have
voted since 1910 and where only specified
hazardous emplOyments-deniedt to women
in some cases-are covered by the act
otherwise. the feminine employe has her
rights to compensation for industrial in
jury, and. moreover. not only is she her
self included. but her husband or chill
dren, in case Of her death, are entitled
20 benefits.
Here, again. we note that the apparent
discrimination comes in a suffrage State,
Oregon. where the surviving husband
must be an invalid to secure compensation

ance. For instance, mahy occupations
where men stand continuously seem, II
anything, to improve their health-your
average blacksmith, machinist, and foun-
dryman is straighter and stronger than
your average male bookkeeper or clerk
but keep a woman on her feet constantly
and you ruin her health, and many States
have special provision for rest periods
for women on this account-the kindest
of all of which are the ''maturnity acts
of four male suffrage States, gotten by
women without the vote, while the wom-
en- with votes were busy getting up
'blacklists" or trying to down the Dem
ocrats" in partisan politics!
Again, take heavy lifting-the law pro-
vides against requiring a woman to lift
more than forty pounds; the law lets a
man lift what he can. And though in the
one case the lifting is all in favor OF a

the German strong lady who lifted
1900 pounds at two performances day,
and missed five performances to become
a mother-an actual fact, that occurred,
by the way. in a present woman suffrage
State. This seems to show some basis
for the feminist contention that environ

II is striking evidence of women's lack
