Women in Railroad Service.

The highest point In the employment
of women by the railroads In the Uni
ted States was reached in October,
1918, when there were 10l, 7S5 EN-
ployed by first-class roads, an increase
of 66 per cent in the first nine months
of 1918. and of 225 per cent from the
beginning of the war. Although this
number has decreased since that time.
there are still many more employed
than before the war. There are two
causes which have operated to bring
about the reduction in the number OF
women employees: First the return OF
soldiers and sailors. who were REIN
stated according to seniority. and. sec
ond, the general reduction in labor
force on the railroads caused by the
necessity for economy and which re
suited in women being. laid off in many
cases because of their lower seniority
rights. Recently, however, there has
again been slight increase In the
number of women employed.

The measure would require employ
ers 10 form mutual insurance compa-
MES and pay benefits TO the workers

day for adult men and women and 70
Cents day for boys and girls be-
tween the ages of sixteen and eighteen

The unemployed, providing they had
worked nj least twenty-six weeks,
would be entitled to benefits for max
imum period of - weeks on the basis
of one Week for every four weeks OF
work
Workers idle as a result of strike
or lockoutsare not entitled TO benefits,
and farm laborers, individuals reeeiv-
ing pensions of more than $500 annu-
ally. persons whose annual income ex-
ceeds $500 and individuals mainly
dependent for their, livelihood upon

State free employment offices, al
ready established would administer
the act In each locality, and would
seek work for the unemployed. 1t is
provided, however, that an idle work
er need not accept work at lower
rate of pay, where working conditions
are less favorable than in the place of
last employment, or where vacancy

out.
IL an unemployed worker finds or Is

trict his last employer Is given his
choice of either paying the railroad
