Royal Deer Stray.
Horse Guards Pursue

Windsor. Eng, Feb. ga. p. by
MaiD-A detachment of His Majes-
tvs Horse Guards was called out re-
Gently to round up and drive back to
the royal preserves in Windsor Park,
a herd of deer which had strayed into
a nearby estate, doing much damage.
The guards reached Ascot in the
morning and proceeded to sweep the
woods, but after several hours work
only succeeded in driving one deer
back to the park. They adjourned
operations in the afternoon.
About $50 years ago King George
Ill discovered that his deer had left
the royal forests at Windsor and in
vaded the Sunninghill Lodge estate
at Ascot. He ordered the Life
Guards to drive them back and they
were probably more successful than
the present day guards, who found
that the deer We're able to get
through places in the underground
where Il horse could not.

Women Workers
Favor The Union

New York, Feb. 23 CA. P.)-The
number of women workers organized
into trade unions more than quintupl-
ed in the decade from 1910 to 1920,
says a statement issued today by the
National Bureau of Economic Re-
search, Inc, of this city, summarize
ing an exhaustive report on the sub
ject.
In 1910 the statement shows the
female membership of American
trade unions totaled 76,14S, divided
among "a organizations. In 1920 the
total women membership was 100000
divided among 81 organizations.
All organizations but two, the mu-
sicians and the brewery workers, had
a larger membership at the close Of
the decade. Three important new
organizations, it is pointed out,
which were not in existence in 1910,
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers,
the Amalgamated Textile Workers,
and the telephone opera tors branch
of the Electrical Workers, contribut-
ed practically 100000 members, or
nearly one-fourth of the total rise.
Another organization, the Railway
Clerks, whose female membership in
1910 was negligible, was responsible
for $4,000 more in 1920. In both
years the membership of the clothing
unions was the dominating item.
The International Ladies' Garment
Workers and the United Garment
Workers had, in 1910, 40 per cent. of
the total; and in 1920 these same
organizations, together with the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, had
az per cent. BY 1920. however, the
shoe. textile, railway clerks, and
electrical workers unions had arisen
to a place of Importance, with a
combined membership of more than
one-third of the total. Most Of the
unions dropped a large part of their
female as well as their male men,
bership during the years following
192o. Any estimate of the total loss
between 1920 and 1928 can be little
more than guess, but it is judged
that it was not much more than
100000. A considerable part of this
loss, moreover, is probably ascrib-
able to the exodus from industry Of
the many women who found employ
ment in industry during the war.
THE course of the labor movement
among women in this country is I'M
Ineligible without some conception
and the nature Of the work they do"
explained DR.. Leo Wolman, who con-
Quoted the investigation. Both in
1910 and in 1920 women represented
just about one-fifth of the total
number of persons who in the United
States worked for an income and
We're therefore counted in the occu-
patton census. While the number Of
women who work is small in abso-
lutte magnitude. it has since 1850 in
creased at much more rapid rate
than the total working population.
THE substantial gains took place
In trade, professional service and in
clerical occupations. Manufacturing
and mechanical industries hardly
moved.
THE type Of skilled craft union
which Is so prevalent among men
and which plays SO dominant a role
In the American labor movement is
practically nonresident among wo-
men. The nearest approach to it is
to be found in the unions of profess
sional workers, like actors, musicians,
and teachers. Except in the case of
actresses, who are now highly Or
ganized. unionism is very weak in
deed"
