II was Madame Gabrielle Duchene,
wife Of Il famous French architect, who
led the woman's fight for equal wages liz
her country. Part of the story can be
told by the big black and red posters
with which this intrepid woman plac-
arded Paris. Equal work, equal
wages" il said to every working man
that passed. But this did not quite turn
the trick. II was the smashing blow
delivered by Madame Duchene when she
found Il new way to argue.
IF woman car do twice as much work
as a man in an hour, and will do this
work for Il lower wage than the man.
how long will industry continue to pay
man higher wages for doing less work
than woman
Madame Duchene wasn't arguing idly.
She had her figures before her in at
least one branch of industry It had
been found that Il woman could drill
1000 holes in an hour and she was paid
fifty centimes. or ten cents, for that
| hour. a man drilled 500 holes in the

cents.

over, England woke up to the responsi'

The result was the forming of the Mu-
milton Womens Charter. This provided
equal pay on piecework and on time
