WOMEN JOIN TRADES UNIONS
Thousands Have FIocked to Organiza-
tions During the Past Year,
Statistics Show.

Eighty thousand woman clerks,
stenographers, accountants and other
office workers have Joined trades union
organizations during the past year, &C
cording to the Washington Office of
the National Women's Trade Union
league. Many of these women are en-
ployed in railroad offices, others in the
various branches of the federal civil
service.
1t is said that this tendency among
clerical workers is a part of the great
est movement among wage learners of
which there is any record in the labor
movement in the United States. In
addition to Office workers, teachers
have been organizing in the American
Federation Of Teachers, which is also
affiliated with the American Fedora
stlon Of Labor. The figures for retail
clerks, garment and textile workers,
iiaists, etc. are NOT set syailable'
But it, IS believed that they also will
show q. reasonable increase in the
number of organized women In the re-
spective trades and industries.

New Englieh Organization.

Members of the great middle class
of England at last have taken steps
to organize to protect their own in
terests against the aggressions of cap
ital on the one hand and increasing
wages Of workmen on the other. Lead
ers Of the middle class declare that
only by organization can they escape
an unfair share of the burdens of life.
Alta preliminary meeting it was de
eided to call the organization the
Middle Glass union. Among the pur-
poses of the union are:
ITO remove undue burdens upon
the middle class, including the cost of
living.
ITO protect the middle class against
burpaucratic and industrial tyranny.
Z ITO combine for common protection
lof those members of the community
who haveno organization to safeguard
their interests" It'll
Letters appearing in support of the
union show that many army officers
and other soldiers are deeply inter-
'ested in the movement.
How the middle-class union will be
received in the political field by the
capitalists and the trade unions which
now monopolize 1t remains to be seen.

TEASE IN Rail WAY WAGES
WoriErs Shown to Have Received Big
4 Alliances, Both In This Country
M and in England.

"jaffe 1915 the annual average
wage earnings of American railway
workers have been advanced from $500
to $1400;in England they have risen
from $3.50 to 5000" said Frank Fl. Fay
ant. assistant to the chairman of the
Association of Railway Executives,
after an Investigation of the effects Of
the war on railroads.
while England, at the beginning of
the war, had high freight rates and
low wages, we were fortunate in hav-
ing low freight rates and high wages.
In this country we were not obliged to
make such enormous percentage in
crease in wages, although our labor
cost has risen greatly, and we could
raise freight rates. 1t is estimated
that the increases in freight and pas
senger rates made by the railroad adj
ministration last year have added
close to $1,0O0,000000 to the revenues.
The increases in wages thus far grant
ed are close to $900,00O,000 andSother
advances now under consideration
will probably bring the increase up to
81, 000,000000. Our advance in rates,
therefore. has apparently provided for
the wags increase, but it has not pro-
vided for the war increase in the cost
OF coal and materials, which has been
estimated between $300,000,000 and
$400,000000 a year.
In considering our American rail-
road wage increase under government
operation, approaching $1,000,00000O.
or between so and 60 per cent, it is to
be remembered that in the years 1915
and 1917 She railroads under private
management advanced wages by $780,
100000 including the $70000,000 cost
of the Adamson act.'

Earnings Of British RalIroade rs.

A detailed official statement which
has been made public shows the aver
age earnings of British railway men in
1913 were % shillings pence week
and that they were increased during
the war by 33 shillings. In addition
to this, it Is said, an eight-hour day
was granted. These increased earn
ings and the shortened hours of labor,
it is said, added $375,000000 to the an
nual cost of operating railways, to
which may be added S225000.000 due
to the Increased cost Of materials.
The statement sets forth details of
the mems present demands, which it is
said would cost $500,000,000 year.

WOMEN WORKERS
HAVE DONE WELL
British Home Office ACcords
Them Assured Place in
Industry.
MANY NEW FIELDS OPENED
Trades Long Considered Unsuited to
Female Labor Have Been Success
\ fully Observation-Disclosures Referred
to as National Asset of Great Value.

The British home office has issued
a memorandum upon the substitution
OF women in nonammunition factories.
The memorandum states that the re-
ports of the home office inspectors
show that substitution has proceeded
on two main lines. On the one hand.
in the trades in which women were
largely employed before the war, they
have now been introduced into skilled
and semiskilled processes normally re-
served for men, as well as into q num-
Der of subsidiary laboring operations;
on the other, it has been found neces-
sary to employ them in important in
dustries from which custom or the ma
ture of the work carried onshad hither-
i to entirely or almost entirely excluded
them.
While substitution had in many cases
been found most successful III these in
dustries where women we're already at
work in some sections, and where the
work to be carried on was obviously
suitable for them, there have been
many striking exceptions to this rule.
There was comparatively little sue
cessful substitution in the textile
trades, but on the other hand, when
women were brought, frequently with
reluctance, into certain trades and oc-
equations which from the nature and
conditions Of the work are held in nor
NAL times to be quite unsuitable for
female labor, they often did remark
ably well.
Reports show also that in a great |
preponderance of cases substitution
has proved satisfactory. In certain
trades already largely employing wom-
en-, such as the clothing and boot and
shoe industries, women have shown
capacity to take up, and to carry out
completely and satisfactorily many of
the more skilled processes hitherto re-
served for men, and have acquired
mastery of the whole range of opera
lions In other trades, like light leather
tanning, which they had barely touched
before the war. Moreover they have
displayed unexpected readiness for
work which at first sight seemed high
ly unsuitable for them, carrying out
hot heavy, wet and dirty operations
with courage, steadiness and success.
There is, therefore, body of indus
tries and operations offering hope
full field of fresh employment to wom-
en-, where their war experience can be
turned to account, and should prove a |
national asset of great value.
