FAIR MAIDENS WIN RECRUITS TO UNION “Stenogs” Demand Seven- Hour Day, With Time.Out for Powdering Noses. BY ROBERT T. ALL. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, November S8.—Men having failed to make any headway in that direction, women have under- taken here to organize the white- collar workers into a union. Girl stenographers regard themselves as part of the white-collar fraternity and they are taking the lead in the movement, which has obtained head- way .here with a membership of something like 2,000. Several very lovely walking dele- gates of the new union, invading the financial district, had to be rescued by the police. Everybody wanted to join the delegates, whether they had any use for the union or riot. Mad at Low Pary. “The “stenogs” say it got their goats | a few weels azo to read of plasterers retting day. while many girls in their ssion” were getting as low as § It is admitted | that the $12 an exception, the average probably being nearer $25 a week. but even at this rate, compared | to the plastirer, the girls want to know why education should get such a sock in the jaw and mer labor receive so high a v The girls are inviting all male, stenographers and bank clerks to join the union. They call it the Book keepers, Stenographers and Accour ants’ Union. The girls insist th the bank clerks in particular neced rescuing, their hours being long and their pay low. Ask Seven-Hour Day. The aim of the union is a country- wide recognition of a seven-hour day for the poor working girls in the big offices. The girls are willing that the hours shall run from 8 to 4 or from 9 to 5, but they insist they must have at least one hour for luncheon. That is, to say, they must be per- mitted actually to ba out of the office for one hour. All time spent in “mal ing up” before going to luncheon and all time spent in taking furs and readjusting coiffeurs returning to work must be in the employers' time. The new union seeks a minimum wag of $21 a week and, young though it be, it has beggme proficlent in the language of org¥nized labor by talk- ing of “time and a balf for all over- time and double pay for Sundays and holidays.” The girls say that now- adays the Simon Legres that keep them in economic slavery think noth- ing at all-of agking them to stay an hour or two overtime and then get down a bit earlier in the morning. For all of this they get no considera- tion at all. The organizers say they are not working in the interest of the comparatively few girls who have the “personality” to rise quickly in the world and attain to secretarial rank and salary, to say nothing of frequent invitations to luncheon and to dinner. They are working for the great mass of stenographers who struggle alonng with little or no oppor- tunity for advancement .as the years roll on. _ IF | dhe gfulius szsfimyh&ufnitam“@. | The thinnest thread visible to the human eye is so small that it would take a bundle of a thousand of them to equal the dlameter of a woman's | hair.
