employing thousands of workers is
manned" almost exclusively by
women recruited from the small
towns and rural districts in the
counties surrounding Cedar Rapids.
What will happen to these wom-

in earnest? Will they stay in in

homes? The Women's Bureau Of
the Department of Labor is seeking
answers to these questions in a Sc
ries of surveys now being conduct
ed on women in Industry.
The labor bureau found, for in
stance, that 80 per cent of the 1000
women employed in the Dayton
Springfield area of Ohio want their
jobs OF other jobs after the war.
So when II million servicemen and
women come home. all seeking jobs.
n when men are thrown out of
work due to cutbacks and other re-
conversion upsets, will these wom-

members, be able to hold these
jobs?
There are today five million more
women employed than there were in
1910, but census records show that
with slight variations, the number of
women in labor forces has increased
decade by decade. And the bureau
of the census states that 1,500, 900 of
the women who entered the labor
market during the war would have
done so had there been no war,
while about 35 million became
workers because of war conditions.

As a result of this tremendous
surge Of American women into
all fields of employment, there
is now underway among these
workers a drive for pay rates
based on the job, and not on
