Travellers over the P. R. R. ir
Cambria county have witnessed
an unprecedented condition
that of women who have laid
down the burden of domestic
cares for that of track work on
the railroads.
A few weeks ago the Johns
town officials of the P. R. R. Co.,
advertised for women to work
on the tracks, it being absolutely
impossible to obtain enough men.
The first experiments were made
out of Conemaugh and Portage
1S women being placed at work
at Portage and 10 at Conemaugh.
The railroad people report that
the experiment is a success. Of
course the women cannot lift
heavy rails and do other heavy
work of that character. But in
shoveling, sweeping, filling, etc.,
they are faithful and Industrious.
AS war workers" they are show
ing their patriotism.
The women enjoy their work
and are paid over $500 a day.
The railroad company is at pres
ent seeking more women for
similar work. Nearly 500 women
have applied for work on the P.
r. R. at Harrisburg.
