The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-03-03
BY ROSE woRTIs.

Capitalist development, which is in
it's most advanced stage in the United
States, with its mass production and
specialization, has removed the
barriers against the employment of
women in practically all industries.
The influx of women in industry re-
ceived great impetus during the world
war when. millions of men were drawn
into the war machine, with the result
that in the 1920 census we find that
eight and a half million women are
gainfully employed.
When women first began to come
into industry, they met with spirit
of hostility on the part of the reac-
tionaries in the labor movement. They
saw great competitive menace In
the influx Of women workers, and in
stead of adopting policy of organ
izing them so as to raise their stan
dards to the level of men workers
they adopted a policy similar to that
of the English workers in the early
