MRS. GOMPERS is AGAINST
! NEEDLESS WORK BY SEX
Wife OF Labor Leader Says Women Should Keep From Indus
trial Life Unless Absolutely Necessary

dependent woman can be Of more serv-
ice to humanity am not referring to
all women--than some women who
merely drudge, and in the end II the
independent woman Is capable enough
she can enter into the field Of charit-
able organizations and the law of COM
pensation will apply"
Another anglo Of the situation is
taken by Miss Theodore Butcher, sec
retary Of the Employment Bureau of
the Young Women's Christian Associa-
tion.
''The question as I understand II
cannot be taken as q general one," Miss
Butcher said.
Hard to Draw Limo
'Jf we can settle the point as to
who will settle or rather draw the line
as to what consists of independence and
the Independent woman, II might be
possible to have law which would
cover the general situation.
''If the demand Is for skilled labor,
and 1t is skilled that Is essentinl--then
1t is entirely up to the individual.
WHO can draw the line as to
whether the woman Is working from
choice? That also depends on the In =
dividual.
What one person might call choice
might be the most necessary thing in
the life of the other. In other words
1t is impossible to take the situation in
hand when it is looked upon as a gen
erality. The whole thing depends on
the individual and the ethics of woman =

Should a woman work?


Not the woman who works through
the sheer force Of necessity to feed and
clothe her little ones-but the woman
who is financially independent or the
woman whose husband Is capable of
furnishing her with the common lux
uries of life.
Should the latter be classified as one
who takes bread and butter away from
another who needs It?
She should. according to Mrs.
Samuel Gompers, wife Of the presi
dent of the American Federation OF
Labor.
women whose husbands earn good
livings should not seek positions in
the business world, and thereby fur
nish an overplus of labor which will
allow employers to use competitive
demand for jobs for the purpose oi
lowering the wages Of women who are
compelled to work." the labor leaders
wife said.
The Other Side Of tho Case .
A somewhat different opinion Is ex
pressed by Mrs. Ralph Still, executive
secretary of the Republican Women o.
Philadelphia.
"Is there any reason why a broad
minded and intelligent woman, occu
plying five-room apartment ant
having superior knowledge of some
sort. should not work?' she asks.
"If woman is able to have tn,
luxuries Of life, which include serv
ant, does not her absence from tn,

How can It be said the person VIII,

Is taking the bread and butter ava,
from some one else? Perhaps an in.
