NEGRO LAUNDRY
WORKERS SLOW
TO join union
Long Hours, Low Pay Is
Rule in New York
BY a Worker Correspondents.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26-The work Of
organizing the Negro women workers
in steam laundries proceeds very
slowly, says Rose Schneiderman, Of
the Women's Trade Union League.
There are several reasons for this
slowness, Owing to the very bad con-
ditions under which the girls work,
the labor turnover is large and organ
ization must constantly begin anew.
Union Idea New.
The union idea is new TO these
young girls and it is hard to convince
them of the value of combination for
lettering their lot. Then again, the
hours are long and these tired labor
ers must go home to tasks there. 1t
is almost impossible to get them to
meetings after such firing day.
Is First Industry Attacked.
The steam laundry, employing many
colored women, was the first industry
tackled for organization by the COM
mittee on organization of colored
women workers of the Women's Trade
Union League. This is one of the in
dustries where working conditions are
the worst imaginable. The work is
filthy and unhealthy. The hours are
long--the working day lasts till 7
o'clock-and the pay, s12 or SIS q
week, is pitifully small.
Get Men First.
The work was started with an or
ganizer in the field, but owing to lack
of funds, no active worker is on the
job now. The work will continue,
however, tho on new line. The new
effort will be to get the men in the
industry first.
