Editorial for Women
Written by a Woman
WOMEN IN INDUSTRY
BY FLORENCE l.. SANVILLE

Chairman for Pennsylvania, Commlttec Oh
National Defense
sVTIiE womens Committee appointed
l. by the Council Of National De-
fense to represent the interests oi
women and TO coordinate their activ-
tiles for tho country during tho war;
includes womens work on its program
Plans for cooperation between inc
Womans Committee and the committee
on Women In Industry are being satis-
factorily developed in such way as
20 insure united effort. In the majority
Of States the state chairman OF the
Committee on Women In Industry Is
also tho representative Of the industrial
interests Of the Woman's Committee
In these words the National Commit
tee on Women In Industry OF tho Coun-
ell Of National Defense defines a need
fundamental TO the countrys welfare
which is sometimes obscurcd by the
more spectacular demands which war
brings upon us.
Economy OF our national resources Is
perhaps 10 he the deciding factor IN the
outcome OF the war, and human energy
is the most precious Of these resources
The best service to tho nation at this
time requires. therefore, action which
springs less from impulsive devotion than
from wise discrimination. When one
hears the stories OF the British women
who threw themselves into the muni-
tion factories without question a9 to
their hours Of work and under cOndi-
tions which have given their faces tho
yellow hue of TINT" poisoning, one ad-
mIrcs their devotion, but questions
whether in the end they have served
their country as well as II they had
conserved tho energies which recent re-
ports from England indicate are now
largely exhausted.
The problems involved in the work OF
women IN wartime industries are too
difficult and too complex 20 be indi-
Gated in this brief statement. There
can only be stated u few essential prin'
ciples. Theso are:
First The process OF replacement Of
men by women in all forms OF employ
mcnt should take place only after the
necessity of such replacement has beer
demonstrated
Second. Such replacement should
never bo tolerated as n means OF rcduc'
| ing labor cost.
Third. The employment of women ir
new occupations should take place only
under conditions which have been proved
as far as possible not to be actually
! harmful to them.
Fourth. Labor standards and hours
should be maintained. Tho assumption
that longer hours OF work produce ar
equivalently greater output should no
/ obscure the demonstrated fact that tn,
| human machine breaks down rapidly un
| der undue strain. In this connection /
| Is interesting to notice the record o,
! English experience given in the Sovem
/ Der bulletin OF the United States Bureau
OF Labor Statistics. Many such fact.
