WAR WORK WOMEN
DOMORE THAN MEN
REPLACED, ISCLAIM

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. IS
That a woman does so to 80 per cent
more work than a man whose place
she takes, is the contention OF Miss
Caroline Manning OF the State labor
bureau for women and children, who
spoke at the first annual meeting OF
of the woman's vocational bureau
here. Miss Manning cited the state
ment as a cause for the increased de-
mand for women labor rather than
any labor shortage created by the
war.
+At present there is no reason to
become panicky and force women
into industries where they are not
needed" declared David c. Adie. OF
the Civic and Commerce Association,
who spoke on the "191S Industrial
situation" THE shortage will not
be felt for two or three months. when
demand for farm labor will be made"
he said.
He advocated saving women's ener-
giles for more rigorous demands
should the war continue for some
time, and for the reconstruction
period after the war. He said that
large number of men were out OF en-
ployment at present.
