BESTIN AMERICA SoLp By Fhe Ashley & Babcock Co | 17c|j In Indusiry Woman in Important Role of the Nation | The bureau of labor statistics of the United States department of labor has Jjust issued as its Bulletin 175 a sum- mary of its nineteen volume report on condition of woman and child wage learners in the United States. The volumes of the original report, giv { the results of the bureau’s investiga- | tions, which had been made under | the instructions of an act of congri | were issued during the years 1910 to 912, but as no special appropriation was made for the printing and dis- {tribution of these volumes, only a {limited number of copies of each vol- ume were published. The many and continued demands for the report | have seemed to require its reprinting {in some form. The bureau has, there- fore, published a summary present- ing -briéfy of i tle #investigation which . wHl permit ficient quantity demands. The establ bureau's inv 335,000 per: within limits printing in suf- to supply reasonable hments included in the gation employed over ons, of whom over 167,- were females. The most striking fea- ture of this great labor force was the exteme youthfulness of those em- ployed. In three of the industry groups, the southern cotton group. the glass industry, and the Pennsyl- vania silk group, more than two- thirds of the female employes werce found to be under twenty years of age. On the other hand, the propor- tion twenty-five years of age and over was large enough to suggest the need for vocational training for girls. The importance of married women among these wage earners is shown by the fact that of twenty-seven industries studied, only three were found in which the proportion of married women among those twenty vears of age and over was under ten per cent., and from this it runs up, to two-fifth and in one indu even to three- | fifths. Among the families from which the ‘wage earners in these industries come, the industrial employment of girls is WE SOLICITY YOUR CHARGE ACCOUNT legance for the Dining Room “Proportion is the { ood breeding of architecture,” and this is no less true of furniture.

Thus, in the four industries which were the sub- ject of intensive study, it was found that in some 5,000 families from §2 | to 98 per cent. of the families had girls sixteen years of age and over at wor and that from eighty to 95 per cent. of all the girls of thi sroup in these families were earn That this employment a matter of economic necessity is in- dicated by the fact that from 27 to 43 per cent. of the total family' in- come was contributed by girls in this age group, and that approximately 90 per cent. of all the earnings were con- | tributed to the fami One of the most significant fa disclosed by the investigation in prac tically all industries was the proportion of women wage who were paid low wages, many cases inadequate to reasonable standard of { women dependent upon their own earnings for support. In the group of women employed in the four great | industries: Cotton, men’'s ready- made clothing, glass, and silk, from two-fifths to two-thirds of those six- teen years of age and over earned less than $6 in a representative week. In another group of twenty-three i dustries, an examination of the earn- ings of over 38,000 women eighteen i of age and over showed that | 5 per cent. earned less than | $6 in a representative week. | The report shows that the employ- ment of children was both extensive |and serious; not only were children i found employed in great numbers, but | they were found employed below the |legal age; employed at work legally | prohibited to children of their yea | employed for illegally long hours at illegal times; employed through | evasions of the law and under fals | certificates of age, well as under many other undesirable conditions. {In spite of all of this, evidence was found of a decrease in the relative number of children employed, and | very plain indications that a public | sentiment against their exploitation is making itself felt effectively. Since the publication of the Bu- reau's report many and important changes have been made in labor laws, especially in those affecting the conditions of employment of women and children and the health and | afety of wage earners, regardless of | 3 and age.

AMost important of the unofli cial agencies in the work of investi gation and props da have been the | National Child Labor Committes the National Consumers’ League and the nerican Association for Labor Leg- islation. All of the agenci men- tioned have contributed in an import- ant way to the progress in labor leg- islation affecting woman and chil- dren which has been so marked dur- ing the last 7 or 8 years. Some definite idea of the breadth strength of the movement for protective labor legislation during re- cent years may be gained by an ex- amination of the legislation of the various States from 1908 to 1915, Thus, taking as examples some of the more important provisions for the protection of woman and child wage earners, we find within this period the number of states prohibiting factory employment under 14 years of age increasing from 30 on January 1, 1908, to 41 in 1915, the number re- quiring medical examination or a cer- tificate of physical fitness preliminary to the issue of work permits from § the number prohibiting night under 16 vears to § per day from 3 to 21. Changes quite as | striking are found in provisions affect- "ing women. Since 1908 the number | of States prohibiting night work for women increased from 3 to the number inoreased from 3 to 6. the in factories to 8 per increased from none to 4, the number limiting hours of work to 10 a day increased 1fv’mn 15 to , while two classes of | | laws not known in any State in Janu- fary, 1908 namely, minimum wage HOW TO GET STRONG A simple Remedy.

The progress in labor affecting women and children this period is not adequately meas- ured by the number of ates en- acting new laws, for much more ef- fective enforcement has heen provided for by the creation of fac- tory inspection in 13 states where for- merly there were no inspectors, by in- creases in the personnel in - other states, and by giving to factory in- spectors in several of - the states greatly increased powers. The movement for workmen's com- pensation legislation and occupational disease reporting, which is entirely new within this period, is scarcely less important than that which secured the classes of laws already named, for the compensation laws have brought new standards of safety and sanita- tion affecting all employes, with new. methods and powers of enforcement. Furthermore, the guaranty of com- payments in case of fatal and serious accidents helps to main- tain reasonable standards of - living wtihout forcing the dependent women and children of the injured work- man’s family into industrial employ- ment. legislation within “Menu for Tomorrow !
