WAVES DANGER SIGNAL
Women Shouldn't Rush Into Indus
trial Jobs, Is Official Advice.

Washington, Feb. blooming gen.
erations of Americans are endangered
by the indiscriminate rush of women
into industry. Women should enter
only those lines of work not injurious
to their health and morals. There
are plenty of men to take care of the
manual labor jobs and when the sup
ply fails men in offices and light
work positions should be replaced by
women.
This was the warning today of Mrs.
Hilda Mulhausen Richards, chief of
the woman's division of the labor de-
partment.
Don't try to be conductoresses or
munitions workers because you think
it romantic" Mrs Richards said.
There are plenty of floor walkers and
ribbon counter and office jobs which
can be handed over by their patent
leathered masculine possessors.
Il have just returned from New
York, where L saw women running
street cars. I found the picturesque
conductoresses working from IL to Ia
hours. undergoing heavy strain and
under very unfavorable moral condi-
tions.
There is no pressing need for
women rushing into such jobs now.
Only 8 per cent of the male labor
supply has been affected by the draft
so far"
