The report SAYS:
The degree in which women work
ers may be receiving assistance from
their families or other sources is a very
important factor in the industrial
world, for to the extent that a group
of such workers are having their regu-
lar wage supplemented by outside as
sistance. they are able to offer THEN
services in the labor market at lower
rates than are workers entirely de-
pendent on their own resources. The
most frequent example of this sort OF
subsidized labor is that of girls living
at home and receiving board and lodg-
ing free or at nominal rates.

study. 272, or As per cent. were found

Severe criticism of Industries which
do not pay women and girls subsistence

which says:
"The wage rates at which this group
of 600 women were working are very
significant, and particularly so when
studied in relation to the number OF
girl or woman should start work at a
low wage is not especially important,
although the wage of apprentice girls
should bear some relation to the cost of
living.
"There is a widespread notion. how
ever, that woman who lives at home
ought to be willing and grateful to
work for wages insufficient to support a
woman living independently of all fam
lily assistance. Aided and abetted by
this hoary economic fa1lacy many para
site Industries and trades have been
able to live and even to achieve much
prosperity on the subsidies contributed
by working women who are either in a
position to subsist, although receiving a
substandard wage. or are not able TO
insist on standard living wage.
1T ought not to be necessary to point
out that no woman who is mentally
competent and who has worked at an
occupation long enough to acquire pro-

Workers for Years.

1T is therefore, extremely significant TO
note that the majority of the women COW
cred by this study were not only working
at distressingly low wages. but that a
very large proportion of them were women
who had been wage earners for many
years Thus of a total of 500. ais, or 81
per cent, were receiving less than 50 per
week at the end of the year 1916, and of
these 316. 145. or 46 per cent, had been
engaged at some gainful work for five
years or more. Still more striking is the
fact that Of so women who had been at
work for fifteen years barely one-third
were receiving as much as $12 per week.

Race Factor Nil.

LAS practically all of the women COW
cred were either native Americans or
of English-speaking families of long
residences, no racial separation seems
necessary. The race factor. indeed. ex-
cept that of white and colored, seems
to be of very little significance among
the wage-earning women of the Dis
trict, either regards wage-earning
capacity or as regards living conditions
AS regards marital condition. SAP of
the 500 women were single. while fifty
eight had been married and were either
widowed, divorced or separated at the
time of the investigation. 1t is inter-
esting to note that fifteen of the fifty
eight married women had children de-
pendent on them for support.

Nor were these women beginners IN

more.

our Army and Navy in the care
OF our own men under arms,
and, secondly, to extend relief to
the soldiers, sailors and civilians
of those nations which were
fighting our battles along with
their own. With the funds
which have been SO generously
contributed by the American
people this war work of the Red
Cross will continue and be com
pleted with all possible sympa-
thy and energy.
Wherever our soldiers and
sailors may be, the Red Gross
will stay with them until they
are demobilized. Nothing which
we may do will be left undone
either for the men in the war
zone, for those returning, for
those in the camps and hospitals,
or for their families at home TO
whom will continue to be devot-
ed the ministrations of the Red
Cross Home Service. In this
latter effort 80, 900 trained Red
Cross workers are now engaged
at $500 different places through
out the land.
The problems of reconstruc-
ton, involving feeding and car
ing for the distressed civilian
populations of Europe are of
such magnitude that necessarily
they must be met very largely
by the governments of our Allies,
with whom our own govern
ment will cooperate.
The great tasks of fighting tu-
bercnlosis, promoting child well
fare, and caring for refugees,
with which the American Red
Cross has concerned itself SO eff
fectiyely in France, Italy and
Belgium, will at an early date
be assured by the governments,
the Red Cross organizations, and
the relief societies Of those
countries, which, now that they
are released from the terrific
burden of waging war, natural

they can, of their own people.

serve mankind that they now
desire to become a part Of the
permanent peace organization of
the American Red Gross.
There may, therefore, be per-
feet confidence that the peace
activities of the Red Gross will
be conducted under able and in
spring leadership. The chap
tiers will maintain their organi-
cations upon a scale adequate to
the new demands to be made
upon them. Local communities
will indeed appreciate more and
more the value of having in
their midst strong and effective
Red Gross Chapters. The Di-
visional Organizations, with
honorary and permanent stats,
will be maintained always ready
for service; and National Head.
quarters will have large and
efficient personnel to direct the
activities of the organization as
n whole.
Study is being given by the
National Organization not alone
to problems of international re-
lief, but to plans in this country
for enlarged home service, the
promotion of public health, ed
ucation, development of nursing,
the care and prevention of acct
dents, and other correlated lines,
which may contribute TO the
health and happiness of men,
women and children. Such plans
when developed will, it is believ-
ed, provide for both world relief
and for home community service,
and thus constitute channel
for the continued and useful ex-
preston by Red Gross workers
and members Of those qualities
OF sympathy and love which our
whole people have poured out so
unstintedly during this war.

work and for the institution of
its peace program, the Red Cross
is fortunately in healthy fl
nancial condition. Abundant

lean Red Gross will thus s,eadi-
~ and rapidly merge itself into
a peace program. The wake OF
the war will, however, reveal
the prevalence of disease, and
give rise to epidemic and emer-
gencies which in all parts of the
world will call for unlimited
voluntary effort, The cutting of
red tape and the manifestation
of those qualities of human SYM
pathy which government action
cannot display.
Here will be the opportunity
for the American Red Cross.
But even our Red Cross must
not act and cannot act most eff
fectively alone; We must labor
in cooperation with the National
Red Cross and relief societies of
other nations, to the end that
not alone the heart of America,
but the heart of all mankind
may be modified OH behalf of
suffering humanity.
While, therefore, the plans of
the American Red Cross in this
direction cannot be formulated
specifically, iii advance of the
general relief program of the
Allied governments, the Amcri-
can Red Gross is nevertheless
planning to develop its perma-
nent organization in this country
upon n scale never before con
templated in time of peace.
The commissions which are
now conducting the activities of
the American Red Cross in for
eign countries, as we'll us the

Future Of
Red Cross

Washington, D. O., Dec. T.
Henry Z. Dawson, Chairman of
the War Council of the Red
Cross, today issued to the 1851
Chapters and the $4,000, 900
members of the American Red
Cross, the following statement
outlining the future policy of the
American Red Gross.
The whole American people
will be invited in the work pre-
ceding Christmas to enroll as
members of the Red Cross. 1t
is confidently believed there
need be no further campaigns
for Red Gross funds, but instead /,
the annual Roll Call will consti-
tute the foundation of the Red
Cross. The people should there
fore know as definitely as posi-
bic the plansof this their nation
al humanitarian society.
Since the armistice was signed,
have had an opportunity to
confer in Paris with the heads
Of all American Red Gross com
missions in Europe, and later in
Washington with the President
of the United States, the War
Council Of the Red Cross, the
managers of the fourteen Red
Cross divisions of the United
States, and with the heads of
our departments at National
Headquarters. am, therefore,
able to speak now with knowl-
edge and assurance in saying
that the beneficient work of the
American Red Urossis to go for
ward on a great scale-not alone,
as heretofore. for purpose of re-
lief in war, but as an agency of
peace and permanent human
service.
Since Americas entry into
the war, the purpose of our Red
Cross has been primarily to aid
The Big Stone Gap post. [volume] (Big Stone Gap, Wise County, Va.) 1892-1928, 1918-12-11

themselves in the opportunity-to
occasion for the use Of large
sums of money aud great quaint
ty of garments and other sup
plies will continue to arise, but
it is believed that there will be
no further need for intensive
campaigns for funds. The work
of supplementing governmental
activities, which the Red Cross
will be called upon to do in all
parts of the world, will be upon
u great scale, but it will call for
human service rather than large
expenditures.
What the American Red Cross
needs now is not so much contri-
buttons of money, rs the contin-
ued devotion and loyalty of its
members. This is peculiarly
true of this moment of transi-
ton from war to peace. Annual
membership involves the pay
ment of only one dollar. The
moneys thus received not only
defray all the administrative ex-
penses of the organization, but
leave substantial balance which
together with all funds subscrib-
ed directly for relief, are devot
ed solely to that purpose.
The Roll Call of the Nation is
thus to be called ut Christmas
tilse, that through enrolment in
their Red Cross the American
people may send Il message to
our soldiers still over seas and TO
the peoples of the world that we
are not merely content with see
ing our arms united with our
Allies in victory, but that our
abiding purpose is that the love,
the sympathy and the intclli.
gence Of all America shall be re-
dedicated to the permanent SER
vice of mankind.
