A cLANDEsTINE ATTACK.

1t is to be hoped that the women Of this country
will not be taken in by the movement which has for
it's object equal pay for equal work." This move
ent pretends to be in the interests Of women work
ers; it demands that women shall receive the same
pay that men get for "the same work." Ostensibly
it aims to insure liberal wages and salaries for
women. But the real object is the very opposite.
The real object is to force women out of all
desirable jobs SO that the men can monopoize Them
Other things being equal, the common experience
is that when it comes to a question between
man and woman for "the same work." the man
get the preference for the job. The reasons are
familiar enough to all practical people
Even where it is a case of work that is naturally
"woman's work." it is the men who are favored as
a rule. For instance all the highest paid cooks
in the world are men; it is men, not women, who
design and make most of the women's high-class,
high-priced clothes. Ask the women themselves
if this is not so and ask them why it is so.
Men are stronger and can stand more; they can
be asked to do work, in an emergency, which women
can't be asked to do; and they are, the average,
more permanent than women. The question of
matrimony is always factor in the feminine equa-
ton. Getting married usually makes difference
in the business status of a man as a worker, but
it makes profound break in the life of a woman,
and it is right that it should do SO.
Experience and dependability are great assets
and it is here that the man gets the preference,
for he is apt to stay longer job. Most work &
that is worth while requires long apprenticeship.
There are of course millions Of women who are
faithful and devoted to their work, but the fact
remains that the reputation Of the sex is that
they cannot be depended on, year in and year out,
to the same extent as men. =. - =
Employers may find an individual woman an OK
cepton and there are many instances where such

women have been advanced to very high positions,
with corresponding pay; but taking the sex as a
whole they do suffer under this Unborn handicap
and this handicap cannot be got rid Of by passing
resolutions, enacting laws using pressure Of any
sort. .:t.1 y .>#S% z.4%t%&tE"s 4SS$t*EG v.
~ The moment artificial pressure is applied, what
happens? When women's wages are raised arti-
fcialy and are put on the same basis as mems,
the inevitable results is that employers give the
work to men more than ever. OF course this does
not mean that man would be employed as a
matron of girls school: it means simply that in
the great average and in the long run the man is
favored and the woman is penalized. \ ~ 4 ~ p
Everybody knows that men are preferred as
teachers, especially in the higher branches. "A
woman may know more than a man and she may
be better teacher but the fact remains that in
an equal race the man will get the plum oftener
than the woman. This Is an injustice to the women
teachers in many cases, but we have to deal with
conditions and not with theories. #tE>
1t boils down to the fact that woman, Is a
rule, is able to live on less than man, and hence
she tends to underbd the man when it comes to
taking job; that's what makes the men jealous
of them. There are more women teachers than
men teachers for the simple reason that more women
than men are willing to accept the teachers wages
that offered. = -;
Teaching is considered in large measure
stepping-stone to something else Young women
as rule live at home, where they pay little or
board, and thus they are in position to accept
wages which would not give a living to the average
man To large extent the wages of a man are
based the theory that he has wife and family
to support whereas the wages of women are scaled
down on the idea that they have only themselves
to provide for, or that they already have their
living assured at home and work for merely
enough to give them spending money. s,..
If we lay down the absolute rule that women
workers in every case must be paid the same that
a man in the same position would get, we will
simply close the doors of opportunity to women;
they will be eliminated in the race with the men
and left at home. That is why we say that the
movement to artifcially initiate the wages Of women
and put them On the same level those of men
is bound to react to the injury of the women.
The world needs the work of women; it needs
the work of everyone who can turn in and help
produce the myriad of things that enter into mod
ern ife To declare an arbitrary wage for women
would be unjust to them and to society as whole
To say that person shall not work for what, he
can afford to work for and wants to work for is
to deprive that person of his individual liberty Of
action, and it is wrong against the principle
Of democracy. -:
