enthusiastic reception in this city.
Lena Chernenko, one Of the strikers,
who accompanied the Aim, made stir

four presentations. The net result of
her effort was about $3.50, contributed
by the workers who attended.
Aside from this there were about
1000 tickets disposed of by the con-

Comrade Chernenko, in the course
OF her appeals, assured her listeners
that victory for the strikers is near,

U. S. Steel profits for the first nine

OFFICE WORKERS
SURVEY REVEALS
Low WAGES PAID
Half Work for Less Than
$40 a Week
BY SIDNEY BLOOMFIELD
worker Correspondent


BOSTON, Nov, 1.-THE Massachu-
sets Department of Labor and indus.
tries has made survey Of salaried
office employees in Massachusetts, In
dustries as Of May 1, 1926. The re-
turns just made public, include data
Of 1915 establishments employing 22,-
427 office workers (about one eight of
all persons 30 engaged in this state)
S,1S2 of whom are males and 14,245
Of whom are females
More Women Employed.
The summary shows that for every
four males employed in office work,
there were seven females; that about
one-half of all persons reported for
were engaged at clerical occupations;
that the stenographic positions were
almost altogether filed by females,
representing slightly more than one
fifth of the total number of office
workers of both sexes combined; that
in the accounting and bookkeeping
section, similar in size to the steno-
graphic section, nearly two-thirds of
those employed were females.
The two largest occupational
groups, both sexes combined, we're
composed Of bookkeepers and junior
clerks and cashiers. The predominant
ing salary groups without respect to
sex, were:
Those receiving $40 including 24.6
per cent Of all persons reported for
Those receiving $16 including 1870
per- cent Of all persons reported for.
In other words, 42.6 per cent of ali
persons reported for, were receiving
only between SIG and $40 per week.
Women Worse.
Taken separately, as class, the
females Jared worse than the males
The tabulation for the females showed
as follows: Those receiving $40 per
week 800 per cent. Those receiving
SIC per week 24.7 per cent.
That is, 56.7 per cent Of the female
Office workers received between SIG
and $40 per week.
This survey does give an idea of
the low wages paid Office workers In
this state not to mention the bad con-
ditions of employment, even tho the
investigators merely scratched the
surface of the situation. If a real in
yestigation Of the entire Office work
ing force Of this state composed of
about 100000 Office workers, including
the office workers in the textile mills
and in the smaller cities and. towns of
Massachusetts, were to be made pub
dc nothing short of a scandal would
be precipitated. And the situation in
this state cries out aloud for a real
public investigation of the Office work
ers' conditions of employment.
One Small Union.
There is but one lone office workers
union in Massachusetts. That local in
the city of Boston, is small and power
less. The American Federation of La
Dor must utilize this report as basis
for a complete investigation Of the
conditions Of the Office employees and
in turn use the reports as the basis
for an energetic organization drive to
unionize the office workers.
Are Dissatisfied.
The Office workers of this state are
far from being satisfied with condi-
tons as they are. A real organization
campaign with the facts and figures
as revealed in the investigation util-
lied for unionization work will surely
awaken the unorganized white collar
slaves.
