and they are doing 1t satisfactorily:
all indications are that they Will con

Mrs. Rourke estimates that there

question OF wages and hours is
always live one. OF course; and
there Is always more or less agitation
on the subject. Altho the women do
not violently complain. there has
never been quite feeling Of COM

feel that they ought, for equal work,
to be paid as much as the men. At

equal to those Of the men. / believe
that they should. 1t is not only for

the male employees too; and for the
good OF their employers, IL they
could only see 1t that way. Right at
this moment the wages Of women In
Iowa are approaching living scale
This is because during the war wages
rose sls did prices. Now that prices
are beginning to fall the wages are
ntrinsically greater than they have
