Role OF Women
After The War
Full Employment Can Mean
Greatest Prosperity In
History Of Nation

When peace comes, what will
happen to the millions of women
who have taken jobs for the first
time during the war?
John D. Durand, economist of the
Department of Commerce, attempts to
answer that question in all article in
Re1qe7o, publication of the Interna-
tional Labor Office.
Durand points out that the num-
Der of working women has jumped
from 100000 in April, 1910,
to nearly 100000 at the end of
this year. That the increase is a
spectacular one can be seen by
Durand's assertion that under nor
NAL conditions the army of women
workers would have gone up only
2,5OO.OOO during the entire decade
from 1910 to 1850.
The problem of what to do with
the surplus feminine toilers after
the war will partly solve itself,
Durand says. Many who are
mothers are likely to go back home
and care for their children, which
is something most uniOnists think
they ought to do. A large number
of others will stay, if allowed to,
Durand believes
Many have learned skills for which
there will still be an excellent market
after the war;" he writes. Many are
acquiring a lasting taste for the addi-
tional income and economic independ-
ence which their jobs have given
them"
The total working fOrce-men
and women-at the end of the de-
cade should reach the 100000
mark, as against 81, 100000 before
the war, and if that figure is
actually attained, Durand contends
the resulting expansion of industry
''can mean greater prosperity thar
the nation has ever known

Donneney Turnover
1902 In 10 Months

CHICAGO-Lengths to which an
anti-1abor company will sometimes go
in jeopardizing the quality of its pro-
duct, to smash its employees organi-
cation, came out in the recent NLRB
hearings on R. R. Donnelley & Sons,
which prints Readers Digest, Life,
Time and other national publications.
Since 1887, when the U. S. Supreme
Court upheld the Wagner act, man
power turnover in the Donnelley plant
has totaled close to $4,000. In recent
years it ran something like this: in
1910 it was 986; in 1o4l, 2,411; in
1912, 5.5O8. In the first 10 months of
1913, requirements rose to 1924
turnover of 5000.
Since 1887, not one member of a
printing trades union has been hired
although a majority of the employees
are now members. The unions present
strong position in the plant has been
by organizing the nom
already employed there.
