Iyle09,001F women are now at one !
Of work or another in Berlin. They
have swarmed into almost every field
of activity, no matter how difficult:
they are earning more money than
theyseYer had before; many have lost
their own bread winners and are for
all time dependent upon their " eff.

theEwomen to go back to their homes.

anticipated by the labor leaders who
say8the women must go in favor Of the
men when the time comes.
BY far the largest proportion OF me
women now employed in Berlin are
u1akllled workers-perhaps 100000 OF
the 100000. OF the remaining 100000
Fslille workers, only a small part are
c%ustomarily SO employed. They have
done wonderfully we'll, even in such
difficult and strenuous occupations as
metalEworker but they r not. because
OF physical haudicaps. the equal or
their male predecessors.
Just how large will be the number
Of widows; or Of women left with
crippled husbands. after the war, the
labor leaders do not attempt as yet TO
estimate. These, on the n hand,
constitute, but part OF the problem.
Fully as puzzling is the question OF
what5to do with those women who.
Though they later will have other
means of support, are expected deltb'

productive life again.
The employer who is able to hire
women more cheaply than men, Will

greegof diplomacy combined with a
judicial use of compulsion is going to

There is hardly an occupation into

The underground railway compa.
MES of Berlin months age installed
women as ticket choppers and then In.
troduced them as guards. When it
was found that their dresses frequent
ly got caught in doors, the companies
did not 90 back to male help but or
dGred the women to don boomers, and
today there are more Of them to be
seen than men.
Even Germans, accustomed to see-
ing women performing heavy duties,
gasped a little when thew heard that
the steam railroads, in addition TO
installing women at the stations for
minor duties, had put them i'll as track
walkers, switch tenders and track lay
ers. Yet the Prusstan railways today
have a large number of women o in
their employ.
1t is almost universally admitted
that the women do not adequately sub.
stitute for the men. Women conduct.
ors, for instance. are said to be about
so per cent as efficient as their male
predecessors, and only about half Of
those who go to work as conductors
are able to stand the strain. There
has heen r notable increase In GER
tain women's diseases resulting d.
rGctly from this work.
Few Of the trades are harder or
moro strenuous than metal work,
which just now, Of course, is booming
because of the need of ammunition.
Yet there are thousands OF women
thus employed today, who do not seem
to mind the heavy work, and who are
earning, relatively, a great deal OF
money.
