By Woman Worker Correspondent
| wish to call your attention to
the conditions of the women who
slave in some of the Fifth Ave. and
Madison Ave. shops where | have
worked, mean the shops where they
sell high class, ready made gowns.
We have to slave from fifty to sixty
hours a week in these hell-holes,
and work in dark cellars, which are
so unsanitary that the health of the
girl slaves is soon affected. The
wages are miserable. The girls in
these shops should be organized, the

they are dressmakers, and | know
that a fighting, progressive union
would take the lead in getting bet

Comparing the wages with what

have spent their lives here may get

Many Women Auto Slaves.

The woman worker is now an or
binary occurrence in the auto in
dustry. But at Briggs" and at
"Hudsons" the woman worker has
really reached the apex of the Wo-
mans Party conception of equality"
with the man worker. There the wo-
man worker is given "full opportun-
ity" to prove herself worthy to be
on the same footing with the male
worker. The speed-up system, the
gang-work, that latest invention of
converting sweat and blood of the
worker into profits and gold for the
boss without showing the whip held
by him over the heads of his slaves.
This devilish device is generously APP
piled to the woman worker as well
and as successfully as to the male
worker.
