"In the transportation lines, where
electric power is being used more and

Low WAGES
To Women Affect Mail
Workers, Bureau States

Washington.-In a pamphlet issued
by the United States Women's Bureau
it is stated that wages should be bas-
ed on occupation and not on sex or
race.
"This is suggested from a we'll
founded conviction" the bureau says,
that low wages for women are a
menace to the individual woman, to
the family and to the community as
a whole"
The pamphlet is entitled "Short
Talks About Working Women" Sew
eral theories of low-wage employers
are demolished Women are remind
ed that in the absence of wage com
missions or labor organizations, indi-
vidual bargaining prevails.
Compelled by necessity" it is
stated, "a woman must work for
whatever the employer will pay, and
the phrase individual bargaining be-
comes myth instead of reality
Another myth is the claim that
women merely work for pin money"
and are not a fixture in industry
! Women's wages, the bureau says,
are still based on the old theory that
they have no family responsibilities
as wage earners, with results disas-
trous to that life and health for the
maintenance of which they are respon-
sible.
"The lower wages for women in
industrial occupations have distinct
influence on the wages of men. Any
industrial group working for less than
the standards which prevails in indus
try will have the effect of lowering
the wage standard of all employees" ="

ties, the committee expresses disap-
pointment because national contrac-
tors are again operating on a union
basis.
The committee was formed several
years ago at meeting of civic bod
les which agreed to support the Ian
dis award and fasten the anti-union
shop on the local building industry.
A determined effort is being made,
the booklet states, to nullify the COM
mittee's work. Prospective builders
are asked to insist on Lands award
conditions. The difficulty in carrying
out this program is that skilled
craftsmen are in the unions and re-
fuse to work under conditions unsat-
isfactory to them.
The committee has raised more than
$3,000,000 to enforce it's low-wage
program.
