Women, it w reported, have entered into practically every line of | work In the two continents. Few have barred them from any activities. Mrs. Ella M. Thorburn, delegate from Canada, reported that in her country women were free to earn a living any way they saw fit except by carpenter- ing and barbering, from both of which lines they are prohtbited. Hurt by Cheap Labor. Ethel M. Smith, legishtive secre- tary of the Woman's Trade Union League, told of the progress made by working women in the United States. She said that the chief drawback was the continual call of industry for “cheap labor,” a call which women forced to earn a living must answer. As a result her condition is often much worse than that of a man doing the same work Miss Mary Anderson of the Woman's Bureau of the Department of Labor said that the prime need was better enforcement of labor laws in the dif- ferent States. She urged as g remedy more widespread civil service for law enforcement officers. Dona Bertha Lutz of Brazil, vice president for South America, presided at the session. The delegates lunched with Bureau of Home Kconomics of the Department of Agriculture. Dr. Luise Stanley acted as host and spoke on “What the United States is Doing for the Home." et Round-World Liner Aground.
