days meant twelve or more hours on the iob
That is not all of the story Long hours
are bad, and the women conductors have long
hours irregular hours are also bad, and these
women have irregular hours, too 1t is diff
cult to plan ones life systematically; it is al
most impossible to have a normal social life
when one is liable to begin work at o'clock
on one morning, at 8 the next, at 745 the
next, and end just as irregularly. large
proportion of the women on our car lines have
beginning and ending hours just as irregular
as those mentioned
Long hours, irregular hours and, finally.
night hours! 1t would seem as if our "con-
ductorettes' received combination of all the
possible bad features of working day.
TO turn from the subject of hours to the
subject, introduced above of provisions at
the car barns for these women workers. On
the whole, the Manhattan barns are fairly we'll
provided for in this respect, although no su
perlatlve praise is accorded even them by the
government investigator. His summary of
conditions here is: "In general it may be said
that the (women's) rooms were adequate in
size and were kept clean, though some were
not particularly inviting, and none may be
said to satisfy approved standards of comfort
and convenience"
In Brooklyn, however, even this much NAV
not be said. Some of the conditions existing
there are inexcusable. Indeed, the situation
on the whole is bad enough to warrant this
comment from the investigator:
whatever the demand may be for women
in the street railway industry, it cannot be
sufficient to justify their employment under
the circumstances set FORTH
There is one bright side to the situation.

than sweat for eight in hot shop
Mildred Warren said she liked the night
run better because she had less trouble with
the passengers. "In the daytime" she said.
''you get people rushing to business and peo-
pie rushing to lunch and people rushing for
the ferry, and they always in a hurry
and as cross two sticks. But in the evening
there is only the theatre rush, and that isn't
bit bad, because everybody is out for good
time and acting as pleasant as pie"
No. 2644 gave her opinion of the genus
man before and after dark "There's moth
ing in this talk about it's being dangerous for
US to work at night" she said 'Nobody paws
any attention to us. The men are all pretty

although even this has its dark lining The
women are getting the same pay as the men.
MS IS source of pride to the companies
themselves, who mention it emphatically II
IS true mat women, men, are paid 27 cents
an nour II they are first-year conductors on
the surface lines; 26 cents an hour if they
are nrst-year subway conductors EMPLOYED by
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit; "a cents an hour
II they are frst-year subway guards for the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit.
On the other hand, the highest increase in
any of these positions since 1914 has been to
the extent of 26 per cent In that same time
the cost of living has advanced in New York
City Al per cent.
The dark lining, therefore, is obvious. The
government investigator expresses it in this
way:
Women are being paid the same wages as
men in the industry. Wages have not actually
been lowered by the introduction of women
INTO the employment, but quite probably wages
have been prevented from rising
Is the situation hopeless? Not at all. The
Womens Trade Union League introduced at
the last session of the Legislature labor bill.
which proposed to limit the streetcar woman's
week to forty-eight hours, between
a. M and 10 p. m. Should such bill as
this eventually be passed the women in this
industry would be protected, as are women in
other industries, by the state law Overwork
ing would be a thing of the past and while
wages would possibly be lowered for a time.
eventually they would readjust themselves
upon a sounder basis This law should receive
the support of every working woman and of
every industrial organization.

which the Federal Department of Labor
makes it point to remember, to investigate
and, if possible, to remedy
New York State has decreed that in nearly
all employments where women are engaged
the working week shall be fty-four-hour
one The great majority of people approve
that legislation. Here and there, of course,

But the "conductorette" has no legislation to
protect her. Perhaps the best way to describe
the conditions under which she does her work
is to quote from the report of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics the schedule of two girls whom
we will call Alice and Sadie
Alice averages an actual working day of
about ten hours for seven days a week, of
course, although when her waiting time is in
cluded the average rises TO eleven hours One
Saturday, Cor instance, Alice worked from
02 till 10 in the afternoon, and then from

rived at work until the time she finally left
twelvehour interval elapsed
To be sure, Alice had free period of about
two hours and half during the early part of
the evening. Could this not be turned to good
account, for amusement, or perhaps shopping?
Alice would probably reply: "Well, after

there isn't much more than two hours left. l
could go to movie then, if there were any
nice ones near the car barn, but it isn't a very
nice neighborhood. There isn't time to go
home, as live quite distance away. Most
of the stores are closed then, so I can't do
shopping, either"
What about working or reading in the car
barn itself?
The answer to this question might very we'll
be this sentence from the Investigators de-
scripton of one Of the barns on the Brooklyn
surface lines:
One OF the barns where women
were employed had waiting room located on
the ground floor, so close to the surface and
elevated tracks that rest was almost impos-
sible'
Not all barns can be described in this way,
of course, but they are far from ideal places
in which to spend ones spare time.
Sadie arrived at work Sunday at s :32
in the afternoon and worked until 7:13 that
evening Off duty until 1926, began work
again at that time and kept on till 1:16 the

T~HE sound of high pitched voices filtered
out from the car barn at Seventh Ave-
and Fifteth Street and was
drowned in the rumble of cars outside 1t
came from the conductorettes' locker room at
the head of the stairs
They talking politics and they were
angry The point at issue was the two labor
bills limiting them to an eight-hour day be-
tween a. and 10 p. m.
"It gets my goat" said No. 2948, 'trying
to reduce US to forty-eight-hour week and
telling we can't go out after 10 o'clock
I'D like to tell those fellers in Congress that
a woman conductor can conduct herself as
we'll at night as in the day time
"For my part" said No. 1884, lacng up
her puttees with a snap, "Td rather work at
night than in the day. The traffic isn't so
heavy. The cars have to be run, you know,
and somebody has to work nights. Twenty
seven cents an hour looks just good to me
in the evening as it does in the morning. I'd
work every hour that could get. The more
hours work the more pay l get I'm holding
mans job. Men conductors work at night.
If l am able to do mans work in the day
time, l guess l can do it at night"
Miss Marjorie Mcconnell had an argument
all her own She pointed out that women
conductors should work at night because
womans place is in the home.
II like night work." said Marjorie McCon-
nell. II like it because it benefits myself and
my home. I can clean my house in the morn
ing and tidy up around the place, have plenty
of time to sleep, and then when the time
comes l go to my work with a free and
easy mind
when you have day run it's entirely diff
ferent. You get home at o'clock and then
you have to eat supper. Who wants to do
Homework at that time of the evening? The
