FAMINE OF GIRLS
GRIPS new YORK
Unparalleled Shortage of
Women Workers Causes
Big Gain in Wages.

New York, Aug. 6.-New York is
in the grip of an unparalleled short
age of women workers. Tens of
thousands of jobs await trained and
unframed girls in every conceivable
line of industry. wages are sky
rocketing and all sorts of induce
ments in the way of working condi-
tions are being offered by employ
mercial concerns almost without
exception report that sufficient help
is not to be had.
Several explanations for this con-
dition were suggested yesterday by
students of the employment pro-
blem, but it was admitted they were
hardly adequate to account for the
total shortage. Chief among them
are:
1. The resumption of nonessen-
tial industries suspended during the
war.
2. Speeding up of business seek
ing to secure foreign trade.
8. Retention by women of jobs
they took to replace men who went
to war.
4. Return from industry to do
mesticity of soldiers wives.
S. Big earnings during the last
year. enabling an unprecedented
number of women to take summer
vacations.
Some firms are offering cash
prizes to every employe who brings
another girl to work in the snop.
Free medical attendance is held out
as an inducement by good many.
