ARSENAL JOBS
+ TO 100 WOMEN
SHORTAGE OF MALE WORKERS
At ROCK ISLAND CAUSES :,
INNOVATION.

Rock Island, May 13.-Duplicatins
the action of Great Britain, the en-
ployment Of women in the workshops
Of the arsenals of the United States
was begun this morning at the Rock
Island arsenal, following the issuance
of an appeal by Col. Leroy T. Hillman,
commandant, in which he told of the
need Of women workers If the sched-
ule of speed Of the war program was
to be maintained.
In his statement Colonel Hillman
said: ut has been definitely decided
that the Rock Island arsenal will en-
ploy women in some Of the shops. The
first step will be In the sewing ma
chine room where women are to be
used in operating power sewing ma
chimes on cloth and canvass army
equipment"
According to the commandant it is
expected that at least 100 women
workers will be working in the arsenal
shops By the end Of the present week
The decision to employ women work
ers in the Rock Island arsenal, which
is the largest in the country and said
to employ in the neighborhood of
$1,000 persons, came as a result Of the
governments inability to secure
skilled male workers in sufficient num-
