the first to employ this class Of labor,
and we believe that we have expert
mented with women in more depart
ments than have most other manufact-
urers.
For years women have been employed
in our top and upholstery departments;
this IS common practice in the industry.
But the war and the consequent short
age of labor. both skilled and unskillcd.
made 1t necessary to look upon women
workers as our surest source of relief.
Our first experiment with women in
the new field was in the parts division
OF our service department. Here they
were employed as stock checkers and
stock order filters. We were agreeably
surprised to find that women at this
work were more efficient than the men
previously employed.
Better Than Men at the Work
The women doing this work are more
intelligent than the corresponding class
of men. They are also more interested in
their jobs and more careful by nature.
The same spirit that insists that parts
IN stockroom be kept in their proper
bins insists that pots and pans be kept
IN their proper places in the kitchen.
Errors in the filling of parts orders
and mistakes in inventory due to care
less storage have been reduced enor-
mously since the taking over of this
work by women.
Light assembly work on the car it,
self was the next work assigned to
women. Certain operations in conncc-
ton with THE assembly OF running
boards and other light installations
were we'll within a woman's strength
and required no particular mechanical
training. On this class Of work, too,
women surprised US by their accuracy

Ny suggestion for the ultra-ideal
Motor Show Is one that runs without
intermission from January ! to De-
ccmber 81.
Put an entrance on the Atlantic and
an exit on the Pacific. Let this con-
tinuous performance be conducted
under the auspices Of the automobile
manufacturers and through the medium
of the great American press and other
mediums of public ightenment.
In place of the "latest thing" in sport
models, palatial closed cars and the
standard touring job, I would suggest a
complete and elaborate exposition of
what the automobile industry has done
and is accomplishing every day in the
year.
And only through just such an earn
est, tireless campaign Of intelligence
can we secure for it the prestige and
support to which our third leading in
dustry is justly entitled.
Would "Sell' the Public at Large
For number of years past, and more
especially now, at the dawn of a new
year teeming with industrial problems
of international magnitude, have felt
and do believe that IN justice to their
predecessors and themselves, and in all
fairness to the four million citizens d.
rectly looking to them for daily sus-
tenancc, it is the duty and serious OBJ
legation Of the men in command Of the
motor world to sell this great indus
trial institution to the very American
people for whom it lives.
The word "scll" can have but one
meaning in my foregoing statement.
l do not mean the financial sales of
any particular one of the $50 auto
mobile and truck builders; | do not
look to the increased revenue of our
own or any of the many competitive
factories, nor do l mean anything but
solely the establishing Of the value of
this unapprccated and comparatively
industry in the eyes and
minds Of the American public.
Third Industry in the United States
It is, of course, common knowledge.
even to the boy in grammar school,
that the railroads are our leading and
greatest industry. But have found it
to many college graduate to
inform him that the automobile indus
try ranks third. And equally surpris-
ing is the same information to the
average man.
This comparative statement means
that while the great railroad structure
has been expanding through some
eighty years and more, the automobile

and industry. Final inspection shows
less to criticise in the assemblies now
handled by women than when they we're
handled by men exclusively.
In the service repair shop women
were set to work disassembling jobs
sent IN for repair and jobs turned in
for salvage. Neatness and thorough
ness characterized their work in this
department, and l believe the workman
would object to a return to the old
order.
Women have not yet invaded our
machine shop, but if Industrial condi.
tons continue to develop along present
lines certain machine shop operations
will be in women's hands before MANY
months: Wherever an operation is
handled by an automatic machine often
times woman can take the place of
man. This is not always true, for
where one man on account Of his train
ing can take care Of several machines.
two women would be required to do the
same work
Can Do Heavy Lifting
In emergencies that have arisen in
the departments where we are now en-
ploylng women. we have seen evidences
that women are capable Of doing much
heavier work than is commonly consid-
cred within their powers We have
men, OF course, to do the heavier lift
ing, but many of the women in their
enthusiasm do not wait for the men
to do this kind Of work. but do it
themselves, apparently with consider
able ease
Those who maintain that the phys
lcal standards Of women are degener-
atlng IN these modern days should
spend some time in the Hupmobile
factories watching the women work
crs. They are strong, husky. whole
some lot, much healthier in eyery wav
than the men they have replaced. Abb
sences and tardiness due to i'll health
have been reduced to minimum since
women have been employed This is
due partly to the fact that women are
intensely interested in this new work
and anxious to make good. and partly
to the fact that, being more regular
IN their habits than their predecessors,
they are less susceptible to colds and
other diseases.
What will happen after the war,
when men return from the front or
from other occupations into which they
have been drawn by the war to find
women holding their jobs is worth
more than passing thought. An in
custrlal revolution is predicted by
some. but this seems an extreme view
to take Of the situation. In the first
place. the women who are now filling
the ranks are the wives. sisters and
daughters Of the men they are re-
New-York tribune., 1918-01-06

placing. An industrial revolution based
on this substitution would quickly be
turned into q domestic revolution with
the odds all on the side of the women.
Would Make Men Do Better
Second. not for a great many years
to come will women in the industrial
held seriously contend with the skilled
workman. Although in many ways
they are his superior. they have not
the Inherited aptitude and mechanical
ingenuity that are his. In tasks assigned
to them they are more painstaking and
conscientious than he. but they have
not at present that self-reliance and
inventive genius which enable the
American workman to become skilled
mechanic
My prediction is that the after-the-
war labor problem as far as women
workers are concerned will be solved
by compromise. A certain rather care
less type Of workman will lind Jobs
upon which he used to depend .illed
permanently by women. In selt-preser-
vation he will have to become a bet
ter: More skilled workman. In the
end the tone OF the industrial ranks
will be perceptibly raised, with lastin.
