WOMEN WORKERS
on THE DECLINE
Survey of Indiana Shows That
Many Women Have Quit
Industrial Work.

Since the signing OF the srmistice
IN the world war, there has been a
decrease Of 1917 percent in the num-
Der Of women engaged in industrial
pursuits in Indiana. according to the
figures announced today by Miss
Margaret Gehrlfch. in charge Of the
woman's section of the Indiana Free
Employment commission. NJ 5 S
Gehrlich has just completed a sur
vey OF the employment situation, as
pertains 10 women, in the cities Of
Indianapolis. South Bend, Muncie,
Fort Wayne Evansville and Iafay-
cite, where the commission operates
free employment offices. The per
centages of decrease in the number
OF women employed in industry
ranges from 4.65 percent in Fort
Wayne 10 1918 in Lafayette
Calls For Workers.
The question is-what has be-
come of these women said Miss
Gehrlich. we have continuing
calls for women workers in many
lines of industrial work, wherein
women may make wages that com
pare favorably with what men re-
ceive for the same work. However,
it appears that either they no longer
care TO work, or else were so well
paid for what they did during the
war that they have a surplus 70 tide
them over Indefinitely, for they are
not registering for jobs We have
some attractive opportunities, where
the work is not too hard for the av-
erage woman, that pay better than
some places where, in addition TO
receiving less pay. the worker is re-
quired to have better clothes thus
reducing her net return. With the
continuing shortage of unskilled
workers. the wages being offered to
women must inevitably increase.
Various reasons have contribut-
ed to the discharge of many women
since last November, but the chief
Of which was the readjustment of
manufacturing and other industrial
activity However, employers are
now perfecting their organizations
for peace time work. and they are
asking for women workers. Those
who had war time factory or shop
experience will find this work more
profitable now, by reason Of their
emergency training"
