While it was |found that large groups of negro |women still were in the unskilled class, a considerable number had gone into machine operating. Field workers found one negro religious paper where all the work was done by women In a type study of Philadelphia and the Lehigh valley, the wom- en’s bureau found that the foreign- born woman deserves great credit for the place she is carving for her- self in American industry. Speak- mg little or no English, with no {m,t.ory experience, such women ccessfully seek and hold jobs. Of 2,146 personally interviewed, well over half were married and living with their husbands. Each investigation brings more sharply to attention the married women in industry and the bureau hopes soon to be able to make a comprehensive study of that sub- | Ject. | | wherein economic pressure prevails upon women to become wage earn- ers, In behalf of the 9,000,000 work- ; women of the United States, the women’s bureau, {unit “manned” entirely by women, keeps 40 highly-trained research specialists at work on field surveys, personal interviews, compilations and tabulation of data.
