Twice as many married women
are working as wage earners today
as we're working a year ago.
This is true in Chicago, and wOm-
en- who have watched the trend of
feminine labor say it is just as true
throughout the United States.
In January, 1916, out Of every 100
women seeking employment in the
U. S. department Of labor service
bureau, only 10 were married.
In January, 1917, out of every 100
women, 35 we're married; and out Of
every 100 asking work at the state
employment bureau, 36 were mar
ried.
The entrance of married women
into the shops and factories and into
other wOmen's kitchens is so recent
no official figures have been COM
piled.
But the next report of the federal
department of labor, and of the sew
eraI state labor departments, will
contain authentic data.
Higher cost of living is the reason
Oftenest given.
Mrs. Sophie Lamb, in charge of the
wOmen's bureau of the U. S. employ
Elent service here, said today:

some of them quite elderly, coming

Mrs. Elizabeth Heneberry, who
meets women seeking work in the
Illinois State Free Employment bU-
reaU, made this report of the mar
ried wOman's warfare on high cost:
We found positions for GIG wom-

of these were married. Many were

A noted feminist, friend of Mrs.
Emeline Pankhurst - Mrs. Louis

living to drive them into the indus
