On My Morning Stroll

While meandering down what is
known as the main street of this great
city, q young lady beckoned to me
from one of h stores. After spend
ing an enjoyable few minutes in con-
versation with her l resumed my walk.
But this one thing was impressed up
on my mind. This young lady had
been a teacher before the wal call had
come for the boys OF this land at
which time, owing to a near relative
leaving, she was needed in the store
and she left her vocation. Now with
the return of the boys she will return
once more to her Riddles. h will
return n better and a wiser teacher for
having had this experience and meet
ing more OF the people In a CONNER
cial manner.
While ph~ilosophizing in this manner
l almost ran Into another young lady
of my acquaintance. She was dressed
in chic fur coat with a tight skirt, a
straw hat of the extreme fashion and
high lace boots. She had a cross and
dissatisfied expression upon herself
when she said TO mo. What in the

Women Keep Jobs

The famous old Taft smile deepen
ed frequently into a hearty apprecia-
tive laugh as the fighting girl lawyer,
Miss Theresa Dolan, scored point af-
ter point over her opponent in the
case of the women street car conduc-
tors of Detroit versus the street car
men in a hearing before the War
Labor Board.
Chairman Taft apparently had n
very good time while being RECALLED
with arguments dealing with the
woman question in general and the
particular case of the street a men
of Detroit who object to working with
women as conductors.
mo reason for depriving these
women of their jobs has been adj
vanced in the testimony" declared
Miss Dolan in her argument, "other
than the fact that they are women.
This should not be a question of sex,
but of ability. No n questions their
ability. Personally I'm tired of this
question and wish it could be settled
here once and for ALL"
Here Chairman Taft interposed one
of his many little sallies.
1T is unfortunate that II juris-
diction is not wide enough to settle
that question"
James r. Mcveigh, attorney for
the street a mems union, deplored
the conditions under which women
street car conductors had to work.
He did not think that women should
accept jobs tina would keep them out
until l and 2 o'clock in the morning.
Beside the moral danger, there was
the danger, he said, to health and
vigor through the excessive hours of
labor.
care We going to he ousted from
our jobs by women?' That is the OBJ
~jectiye point of the men in the con-
t~roversy," was the retort of Miss
DoIan.
They seek to hide this by stress
ing the danger to health and morals
of the women working on street cars.
But the objective point is usually a
financial one, and these men are
afraid of the ONE infringing upon
their opportunities.
Men are continually taking wom-
ems jobs away from them. They
have taken her washing and dignified
the work by calling it a laundry.
They do her knitting in places they
call mills. They have usurped her in
every part of her domain. Then they
adopt such II chivalrous manner that
you almost believe them.
Tho majority of the women ]
represent are mothers. There are 154
children distributed among the 12O
women VINO are HBntlnB TO retain
their jobs and there are no men con-
tributing to the support of these chill
! dren. Strange to say while the mer
seem SO interested in the welfare OF
the children they do not come for
ward and say L will support your
children
"If you limit the lines of employ
ment in which women nay engage
Miss Dolan concluded, even though,
as in this case, the responsibilities OF
the women are as great as the same
number of average men, you are
dealing unfairly with them"
I The War Labor Board in its award
steered a safe middle u 1t Or
dered Ina the women now employed
shall be retained in the employ OF the
street car company il the company so
desires, and that the fifteen women
IN the waiting list be given positions,
but that no more women shall be en-
pioyed hereafter.
