HALF OF WOMAN
WORKERS GETLESS
THAN So A WEEK

Yearly half Of the women working
9n laundries. as clerks, as sales
women. and as operatives in the
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing
arc receiving less than IS a week, ac-
Aording to the results of an investiga-
zion by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Department of Labor. The war has
brought them no wage boom, 1t Is oe-
clared.
Sixty-four per cent OF all OF such
workers interviewed were making
less than SO a week. No juVeniIe
workers were included in the survey
and three-fourths OF the women inter
viewed were twenty-one years OF age
Or over. More than a fifth nave
ethers dependent upon them.
Little Spent on Clothes.
Cases are cited of women who have
been wage earners ten years and more
who are getting IS to $3.50 per week.
In some cases the amount spent Ior
clothing Is as low as 81 per year.
Various expedients are resorted to TO
eka out the scanty salaries, and the
investigators report that in most OF
the cases studied workers are doing
their own laundering, mending, ana
cooking, or else are doing additional
WQTk 10 pay lOT lAlCSc oSA NASNS- ~---N
their neaEer salaries do not permit
the accumulation Of any sum OF money
at a time debt is frequent, and the
purchase Of clothing on credit is com
mon. The garments thus purchased
are paid for in small weekly Install
ments.
The poorest wages were found
among the women in laundries. One
m particular in this industry had been
at work since she was nine years OF
age, and after twenty-five years or
work finds herself earning IS per
week. She has had five years ex-
perience In her present position An
other who receives the same wages
Is the wife OF a national guardsman
from whom she has not heard since
he went to the border two years ago.
II is significant that there is pro-
vision in most OF the budgets for D
or 10 cents weekly for church and
that an unusual number carry insur-
ance upon which they pay premiums
a. low as 10 cents per week.

GORDON sTATHAN
DIED YESTERDAY
WELL KNOWN YOUNG AMERICUS
MAN, STATIONED AT TEXAS
AVIATION CAMP, YIELDS TO AP-
PENDICITIS.

Gordon Gtatham, son of Mrs. Ida
Statham, of Cobb, died yesterday af-
ternoon, after weeks illness with
appendicitis, at the Ellington Field
hospital, Houston, Texas where he
was stationed as a student aviator. He
had undergone an operation several
days ago.
The body is expected to arrive Sun
day night and the funeral will prob
ably take place Monday.
Gordon Statham was very popu-
lar young Americus man. Formerly
he was in the garage business here,
and when war was declared, was con-
nected with the Atlanta Cadillac Co.
Last summer he enlisted in the ayia
ton service and was sent ito the
school at Dayton. In a few weeks he
would have received his commission
as a lieutenant.
There was general regret heard on
all sides today when it became known
that he had died. He was only 2S
years of age and because of his spec
ial aptitude for the aviation work a
bright future had been predicted for
him.
Two brothers also survive him. Err
nest Statham, of Americas, and R. r.
