CLERICAL GROUP INCREASES.
Woman Workers in New York
State Number 1,135,94S.
From the New York Times.


Women gainfully employed in New
York state number 1,135,91S. accord
ing to q special bulletin Just issued on
Women Who Work." by State Indus
trial Commissioner Henry D. Sayer.
This is twice the number Of women SO
employed in Pennsylvania, the state
which ranks second in population.
New York city has 81 per cent of the
women 50 employed and 81 per cent
Of the men. The next largest city in
the state, Buffalo, has only one-fif-
teenth as many women employed as
are in this city.
The bulletin was prepared by the
headed by Nellie Swartz Analysis is
made by occupation of the 1920 CEN
sus figures Comparing these figures
with the 1910 census, the bulletin
shows an increase since 1910 Of 151.-
$50 women and 347.749 men. While
this represents an increase in actual
numbers, the ratio Of men to women
workers for all occupations is said to
have remained practically the same.
The one ocupatfonal group which
shows decrease since 1910 in the
number Of women employed Is DOM
estic and personal service. On the
other hand, the proportion of women
in the clercial group has Jumped
from 34.5 per cent in 1910 to 465 per
cent In 1920. There has been an in
crease Of per cent in the transpor-
tation group, also q slight increase in
the professional and trades groupS
There has been q slight decrease in
the porportton Of women in manu-
featuring and mechanical industries
and in agriculture. Although the per-
centage in manufacturing and me-
chanical industries has decreased, the
actual number is greater by about
1000 than 1t was in 1910.

Decision ON Location.
The commission was authorized to
procure and determine upon a loca-
ton, plan and design for a monu-
ment or memorial in Washington.
The aid of the government commits
sion of fine arts was invoked in the
selection of the site and plans. On
the 105th anniversary of Lincoln's
birth. February IL. 1914, the late
former Senator Joseph C. S. Black
burn, then resident commissioner of
the memorial commission and who
was a southern officer during the
civil war, broke ground for the
memorial, saying as he did SO:
This memorial will show that Lin
coin is now regarded as the greatest
of all Americans and that he is so
held by the south as well as the
north"
The corner stone was laid on Lin
coins birthday in 1915 without cere-
monies. Among the articles placed
within the stone was a history of
Lincoln, signed Dy MS living son,
Robert T. Lincoln. The building of
the memorial was somewhat delayed
during the world war and its con-
struction. which was expected to be
completed in three years time. has
taken about six years.
A memorial bridge across the Po-
tomac river from a point nearby the
Lincoln Memorial and extending to
the Arlington national cemetery is
contemplated in the plans. as well as
boat landing on the river directly
east of the memorial.
Temporary buildings erected in Po-
tomac Park for war purposes and oc-
cupied by the Navy Department have
encroached upon the memorial
grounds as planned by the commits
sion of fine arts. which declares:
Until the buildings are removed
the memorial will be dwarfed and
made of small Importance. and the
development of the landscape fea-
lures upon which the memorial de-
pends for effectiveness will be made
impossible. The continuation of the
buildings works sacrilege to the
memory of Lincoln"
