Washington, -. &. TLNS).-Report-
ing that more than 100000 women.
representing one-fourth Of total en-
ployment, are now working In this
country, Mary Anderson, head Of the
WomeI's Bureau, I. s. Department Of
Labor, said 100000 more employed
women will be needed by the end of

AT least 100000 more women than
are now employed will be needed by
the end Of 1913" she added.
The number Of unemployed women
seeking work is not indicative Of the
number who are finding employment.
Miss Anderson continued. For instance.
there were about 100000 women look
ing for jobs between April and May of
this year. This total did not change
during the month although in the same
period nearly half "A million women
were placed in jobs.
The employment Of women in air

UNIONISM
BY RUTH TAYLOR

TniOnism Is road. not q destina
ton. II is way. not an end. Like a
road, unionisrn is fluid changing. alive
it is not static. Like road. union
ism has its ups and downs. its hills
and valleys, its bypaths. its detours.
Unionism is something incompre-
hensibe 10 the totaItarian minds. They
cannot imagine a road conforming to
the contour Of the land-ther high
ways must smash through in 2eOmet-
rio lines. They cannot imagine a way
OF life that conforms Itself 10 the
people who compose it. Their way Of
life must smash through the lives of
subjects bending them ruthlessly to one
set pattern. The greatest handicap Of
the totalitarian tyrants is their lack Of
ina ginatiOn, their lack of the realiZa-
tion that man will do more because
he wants to, than he viii because he
il told TO.
UniOnism is the principle of cOmbi-
nation for unity of purpose and action
it does not demand of its followers
that they all think alike, any more
than that all roads must be alike But
it does call for Il spirit Of cohesion an
all fundamental principles. 70 be a
vital force unionism must be based
upon mutual understanding and must
be motiyated by mutual ideals, or prin-
cipleS.
The principles Of trade unionism are
the same as those of democracy

ciate with their fellow men in action
for the common good. TO speak freely
and without fear, and to act accord

the totalitarian ideolOgieS, be they 10
the left or to the right, is strong.

Labor News From Britdin

Ministry Of Labor showed that i'm a
age earnings Of women had increased
by per cent and the earnings of girls
by per cent over comparable pay
week in July last year. The earnings
Of men and boys increased by 2X per
cent and w per cent Oh the same basis
of comparison. Over all average Of
earnings was shown III the January in
quiry to be 77s9d., as against los. 1Od.
in July 1911. In the metal, engineering
and shipbuilding trades the average
earnings Of all workers rose to 93s.-
mainly it appears as a result of the
higher earnings of women, and by the
| transfer of workers from relatively
| lOw-paid trades to those with a higher
average level OF earnings.
| Perhaps the most striking indication
of the change in the status of women
| in the skilled trades is the attitude
now adopted by the oldest, most ex-
elusive, and most powerful craft Union
| in existence. The .Amalgamated En-
gineering Union has long set it's face
against the admission of women to
membership. 1t has resisted the intrII-
sion of women into skilled crafts. Tn
der the stress of war conditions the
Union has abandoned its objections.
At its annual delegate meeting, just
concluded, there was an emphatic and
unanimous vote in favor of the prin-
ciple of equal pay for equal work"
which means payment of the rate for
the job, whether the job is done by a
man or woman. The Union has already
got this principle in operation under
agreement with the employers, but
with some reservations in the case of
women who do mems work under Il
mans supervision.
Rapidly Becoming UniOnized
On the question of admitting women
to membership of the Union the dele
gate conference did more than affirm
the principle. The Union executive de-
cided some time ago that the views of
the members shiuld be taken on this
question. A ballot paper was issued
leaving the issue entirely open. But the
delegate conference, rejecting an APP
peal from the officials of the Union that
the ballot vote should be taken with
out recommendation one way or the
other, adopted by 80 votes to Il mo-
ton calling upon the membership 10
vote in the national ballot for the ad-
mission of women.
The result of this national ballot of
the engineering workers will have a
decisive influence upon the postwar
position of women wage earners. Other
Unions take pride in emphasizing the
growth of their wOmen's membership,
too.
Thus, the annual report of the Ma
tional Union of Railwaymen, whose
delegate conference opened on July 6,
recorded the fact that at the end Of
1899 there were no more than LOO
women holding the Union card, al
though there We're over "a 600 women
in railway service. In May of the
present year the Unions women mem
bership had risen to 10000 and is be-
ing rapidly increa sed Sweek by week.
This total of 10000 women in the
Union means that more than half the
women in the service are now union
lied; probably three-fOurths if one
adds the increased women membership

London.-Of nearly 23OO0,OOO men,
women and childen who have register
ed for various forms of war work In
Britain, nearly 100000 are women
and girls. The vast majority of these
women are mustered for industry.
Many thousands, of course, are en-
rolled in the wOmen's auxiliary serv
ices, and are in uniform; but the num-
bers who wear Overalls and are work
ing in factories, engineering shops,
shipyards, ordinance shops and filling
shops are to be reckOned literally by
the million.
Women are taking over the skilled
crafts. Training in these skilled Occu
| pationS, both in the Government train
ing centers and in the workshops, is
now almost exclusively confined to
women. Some indication of the scope
of the training schemes is afforded by
these facts and figures:
Facts and Figures of Women Training
Over $50 technical colleges are assO-
ciated with the Government training
schemes in the Government centers
alone courses of instruction in arc weld
ing and gas welding are being given on
Il three shift system which turns out
5000 qualified welderS each year In
an aircraft firm turning out bombers,
by women, including the supervisor,
who have all been upgraded from the
assembly shops. In another aircraft
works producing ailerons the complete
assembly work is done by women
women are mounting guns on aircraft
at a factory turning out Hurricanes.
Another firm entrustS reconditiOning of
damaged planes almost entirely to
women, who dismantle the damaged
machines and rebuild the sound parts
into recOnditioned aircraft
Details of competent workmanship
undertaken by women could be multi
piled by scores and hundreds of in
stances showing the quicknesS and
adaptability of the trainees. In one
factory the smiths striker fell i'll, and
Il woman volunteered to do his job. The
blacksmith gave her a trial and now
regards her as equal to his old mate.
When she is not wanted for striking,
she fills in her time grinding fOrgings
! on the emery wheel.
A girl who lost both legs in an air
raid is working a hand press in a
Midland factory. Deaf women, most of
them middleaged, without factory eX-
perience since the last war, are doing
machine jobs in the same area. Out of
20 women being trained as welders in
Il factory school 6S were passed out
by the instructor as fully qualified to
replace welders in the plant.
Learn Skilled Work Quickly
Many women machine operators
have been trained in several machine
operations, so that the absence of one
will not create bottleneck. A number
of traineeS in Government centers are
being trained as supervisors on air
craft, production, and others have been
selected for special instruction in ma
chine tool reconditiOning There isn't
much in the way of skilled work the
women cannot learn, and learn quickly.
Women are earning good money, too.
