BOOKLET IS OUT
TO URGE BETTER
PAY FOR WOMEN
ExpIodeS Anticipated Theo-
rieS, Blamed for Low
Wages
Times Washinqton Bureau.

WASHINGTON. July 26.-Why is
it that women have not been able
to secure for themselves adequate
recognition in industry. in spite of
the fact that there are eight and
one half million women now work
ing for wages in the United States?
The woman's bureau of the United
States Department Of Labor at
tempts to answer this in a booklet
on women in idustry recently issued.
First Of the reasons is misappre-
hension of facts. Women workers
are handicapped because a whole
budget Of exploded theories are still
current, though las Anticipated as
hoop skirts" 1t is no longer true,
the womans bureau says, that wom-
en- work for pin money to buy friv-
olous frills; that girls who live at
home are supported by their families
and can get along on very low
Wage; and that the women of in
dustry are women between IS and
rs years of age. only working for
few years while they look for a
husband
Most Are Married
According to the last census, the
bureau points out. more than two
million women workers are married
women, either toiling to exc out the
husbands wage to a point where it
will care for the family, or bearing
the entire burden of the support due
to the husbands sickness, death or
desertion.
Another reason why women lag In
winning recognition for themselves
is the double burden of fatigue born
by great numbers Of them.
Many mothers work for eight or
ten hours in a factory and then go
home to toll for as many hours more
over the homework, washing and
sewing and cleaning and cooking
Many unmarried women workers
give hours at night to helping with
nousework or sewing, or even take
on extra work that small brothers
and sisters may be cared for.
Investigation has shown that men
never make the effort to maintain
STANDARD OF living eAeGIeu Dy WOH-
en-. No matter how small his pay,
the man does not come home at
night and wash and iron his clothes,
cook his supper over a gas plate to
save the price of meal in the res
taurant. make over WORKOUT clothes,
and trim his own hat. Yet women
workers will do this, if there is no
other way to maintain the standard
they wish. no matter how exhausted
they may be.
The result is lowered health for
the women and for their children.
AS a remedy, the bureau suggests
nothing more novel than reason
ably short work hours and living
wage" Their only suggestion as to
how this may be achieved is educa-
ton of employers to the benefits ac-
cruing to them when they secure
heaIthful and efficient workers
through improved conditions OF
WORK.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Gradual
improvement is reported today in
textile and garment trades, though
resistance to price advances, or even
to maintenance Of present price
levels has imposed a handicap on
producers who are confronted with
increasing costs of production. None
of the important divisions of the
textile industry are particularly
prosperous. high grade cotton and
wooden goods are relatively cheap,
and silk and artificial silk fairly
abundant.
Dealers are criticising alleged
false standards of economy prac.
tised by women wage-earners, in
squandering large sums for fancy
and expensive silk clothing, while
refusing to consider substantial well.
spun wooden goods at far less cost.
The absence Of demand for staple
bleached cottons, peracles, ging
hams, simple wash fabrics and
staple lines is said to Re due to
the habits Of luxury.
Impending disputes and possible
tie-up of union garment mauufac.
turers"are causing some Cneasiness
in the women's wear markers. While
fear of a strike is not serious, 1t is
! maintained that manufacturers can
not continue to operate, under ex
listing agreements. Among mems
wear houses there is disposition
to realize that buyers will nly
operate at price concessions, and
this has caused some mills to cut
opening prices. The wool textile in

"Six and one-half barrels is the

ago, it was two barrels. It Is true
that both figures include the Pc.
