In Many Transport Jobs

In the railroad industry particu-
larly, most Of these jobs have
gone to men, according to Miss
Sells.
In the second group are jobs
that require some training, but
no drastic dilution Of skills or
rearrangement Of working con-
ditions In order for women to
perform them. In this category
come telegraphers, telephoners,
storeroom attendants, freight
rate clerks, ticket agents, ticket
collectors on trains and train
announcers.
The only woman train an
nouncer employed during the last
war was handicapped by her

by a hand megaphone. Today
her successors will have the use
Of public address systems to
blow up their voices to the

ers, II need be.
The third group Of transport
jobs studied by Miss Sells are
those that have never been held
by women and require q drastic
rearrangement In working condi-
tions or . considerable amount
Of training. These occupations
include engine lathe and turret
lathe operators, claim agents and
tower men.
Some railroad Jobs for little
or no reason are traditionally
held by men, said Miss Sells, cit
ing Is examples the walters and
cooks on dining cars. Women
hold these jobs in other indus
tries, but on trains the lack of
adequate sleeping facilities Is one
factor that has kept them out.
Other jobs in transport, such
as bus driving in congested met
ropolitan areas, Miss Sells be-
lieves actually too heavy for
women to perform. Although
women are already driving school
buses in the West and some lines
in suburban areas, 4 one-worker
bus is a heavy job for a man,
let alone . woman. On two
worker buses. women could easi-
~ serve as conductors, she said.
