women are quitting their Jobs,
prohibition having made it un-

work, according to information
obtained by inspectors of the
minimum wage division of the
State Department of Labor and
Industries.
In license times, office building
managers told the inspectors, they
had no difficulty in recruiting
scrubbing squads from women
forced to support their families
because their husbands were
drunkards. Under prohibition, the
women said they had more money
for household needs and, while
some continued to work, they did
not have to undertake the tiring
labors - the scrubbing brush and
pail to exc out family support.
