WOMEN EXCEED men
IN JAPANESE FACTORIES
$4,000 Japanese Women Work
at Average Daily Wage Of Ten
to Twenty Cents for a
Twelve Hour Day.
>Eloice Ffo1nme

There are more women in industry
In Japan than there are men, accord
to statement recently made BY thu
War Work Council Of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association.
The world war has brought $4,000
women and girls into the daily grind
Of industry according to this state
ment; 10000 Of them little girls under
fifteen years Of age who work tWelva
hours at a wage Of ten to twenty cents
day, that the world may have nix
dresses and munitions
In Tokyo alone, q city Of two and
one-half million people, there arc 100.
900 women employed In sixty-two In
dustries and businesses varying from
work as telephone operators, clerks,
photographers and bookkeepers to
work in silk and other sorts Of fac.
tories and domestic work.
Each year thousands Of these wo-
men go back to their homes In the
country, broken in health and victims
Of tuberculosis because Of tho poor
conditions under which they work and
live. They are housed ID dormitories
In the factory compound. These dormi-
tories are frequently unsanitary. The
girls work long hours, have no recre-
alton and on finishing their long day
go Immediately to bed, oftentimes

has been sleeping in all day. .

men, the Young Women's Christian
Association plans to build dormitories
in manufacturing towns where girls
may live cheaply under healthful
physical and social conditions, to send
out secretaries who can introduce rec
reation into the factory compound ana
direct games and social life.
This Is done with the cooperation
Of the factories managers and pro-
prietors. One Of the most influential
Of these Is Mrs. Suzuki, the most
prominent woman manufacturer In
Japan, who is owner and manager Of
firm which exported $11, 600 600 worth
Of bean oil to America last year.
Recently Mrs. Suzuki decided to
employ one thousand women In her
Offices. She could not find enough
well trained ones so she established
permanent school where japanese
girls may be trained to enter the busi-
ness world. The greatest danger.
ahead Of Japan, she says, Is In its
growing materialism, and Japan's
greatest need, the development Of her
women.

business. Then another truck dealer
got busy and persuaded another man
to enter the business. A truck dealer
in the city at the other end Of the
line induced man there to inaugu-
rate line ON the same route. Shortly
there were four competitors on the
one line and when the business was
split four times there was not enough
money left to pay gasoline bills.
Commission Needed.
"Had a properly constituted COM
mission been established with the nee
essary authority to grant franchises
and limited the route to two competi-
tors the enterprise would have been
a success. With the franchise there
would naturally 60 some undertakings
on the part of the truck owner. For
example, he would have to give a
bond to deliver on schedule the same
as the parcel post contractor in any
city, with penalty attached for fail
ure. Rates would be established by
this commission. A truck owner
should not be compelled to make rates
so low that he can't give good serv-
ice or yet, because Of his franchise,
be allowed to charge exorbitant rates.
"The return loads bureau, which is
another factor in conducting the rural
express system, is something else that
will need careful attention. The evil
Of all loads being return loads, will
be menace to the rural express
system unless carefully guarded
against. It Is the greatest system Of
transportation ever devised and as
such should be protected from its pitt
falls"

r. II. Akers, Chicago, manager Of
q large automobile concern, has pre-
sented the results Of some investiga
lions relative to motor stages and
freight lines.
While Mr.. Akers believes in com
mon with many other automobile mer
that rural express lines have a future
before them, he has run across sew
eral problems which must be met and
solved before they can be a complete
success. He advocates the establish.
ment Of rural express commission
operating under the state government,
and regulating rates, competition, ETC.,
as protection to this very young In
dustry. Here is case which MIR.
Akers investigated:
''Not long ago one Of our truck deal
ers in Washington saw very feasible
untraversed motor express route be-
tween a small town and fairly good
sized city. A young clerk in clothing
store had consistently saved his mon
ey-had been reading the govern
ment's propaganda-and saw in the
rural express idea an opportunity Of
becoming his own boss-a proprietor
of rural express line-with every
chance to expand. The young man
enlisted the help Of the truck dealer.
Together they canvassed the mer-
chants in the town and were assured
of enough business to make the line
pay, providing reasonable amount
Of freight could be secured in the
city to haul back.

truck and soon had q thriving little
