e, PROBLEMOF WOMAN'SDESTINY Labor Commissioner Wright Replies to Bome of Pesant's Lamentations, WOMEN ARE NOT POORER PAID THAN MEN | HMousework Pronounced Not a Bad Substl tute as 1denl Exercise for Women Who Haven't Time for Gymnasiu Feminine Facts wnd Fancies, mmissioner k roll D, Wright, ¢ spoke in Washington last on the “‘[ndustrial Condition of Women.” 1t will be a suiprise to thos in labor economics, says the New York Sun, to learn that his conclusions, based on recently collected data, contradict the generally accepted idea that women are paid loss than men for the same kind of work Mr. Wright spc 1s00f the inflicnce of the factory system compated with the domestic a< giving women a wider sphere of action. The industrial emanci- pation of women may be followed by her political cmancipation or they may come together. The former he looked upon as the most important phase in the de- velopment of the sphere of women. By industrial emancipation he under- stood to be meant the production of the bighest type of womanhood, not alonu as wage workers, but in carcers, 3y means of the factory sys- tem woman did not supersede man, but supplemented his efforts, In the year 1846 Harriet Martincau found in this country only seven employments open to women. Today therc are many kinds of remunerative ewployment which are open to women, and her growing promi nence inall branches of trade, manu- factures, agriculture and the profes- sions impress her intellectually and morally. Mr. Wright asserted that the morals of the wage workers ave equal to those under the old domestic system,and the mingling of the sexes in ‘education and in the industries enhanced the re- spect for women and in consequence they occupy a higher place. As to the compensation of women in the lower ranks of the employed, the opinion that women are not paid equal wages with men for the same work equally well done is erroneous. Woman Is & new economic factor. Her physical endurance and education are defective, und her equipment for life work is insuf- ficient, caused by the hope that her work will soon be interrupted by iage. Mr. Wright expressed the opinion that the industrial development in the future would result in adecrease in the number of marriages und an increase in the number of divorees, and would extend woman's intellectual opportunities and establish her absolute social equali The best result of modern tendencies would be the acknowledgment that woman 1s the rightful owner of herself, and is entitled to recognition, which would bring about a purer, happier con- dition in the social world. With this in mind it is interesting to read Walter Besant's views on the ap- ment of women in place of men in Bank of England and in the civil | the powcr not only to make hers 5 “The destroyers of men are | sistil but {o reduce a winning all along the line,” laments the | of misery owing novelist. *In their jubilation they can | her beauty allows. The even afford to forgive me when 1 call | coquette implies that she their attention to the following little sum: 1 suppose 1,00 women employed in place of 10,000 men as clerks in the eity and civil service. This number is really small compaied with the number of clerks actually engaged, so that there will be still many thousands of men not yet turned out. Theaverage pay of the women will not be greater certainly than £100 all round, counting the juniors. The average pay of tho men turned out would not have been greater than £150. The saving on 10,000 clerks is therefore £500,000 a year. 8plendid, is it not? Meantime what has tecome of the 10,000 men? They have had to find work elsewhere. This is not a larg » country; there is no half tottled west in it. The young men, therefore, have had to emigrate. Ther: fore 10,000 women have lost their chance of marriage. Therefore 10,000 possible families are not called into existence. Now, 10,000 families may average 40,000 children. The country theretore loses the work, brains, productive power, fighting power and colonizing power of 40,000 men and women.’ he one weak point in the argument is this, that according te the present cen- sus 1n England, with its discouraging surplus of women, two-thirds of these “possible children” would probably be girls, and if Mr. Besant's ideas were carried out they would not be either a productive power or afighting power, or anything else but a pauperized burden upon the commonwealth of raen. When the day dawns thatevery man in the world is self-supporting throughout his life, when every self-supporting man takes unto himself a wife to share his means, then there may be little neces- sity for women to do mught but’ sit by the fire and spin. lven then., in the woman-crowded little isle of England, there would be an army of unsupported women unless these millions too war women could meet somewhere in mi ocean with the million too many men in this country and set up a new Utopia, whero every woman should have a hard working, God fearing, devoted husband to take care of her, » ' “The ideal exercise for women who haven't time for gymnasiums?" The doctor repeated the question thought- fully. Then she smiled, says the Brook- lyn Times. “Housework is not a bad substitute,” said she. Arms and legs are exercised in sweeping: the musc of tho back are strengthened by the slignt bending and rising in bed makin, the chest is expanded by the broadening motion of the arms in dusting. And, as tho windows should ull be widely open in the bedrooms and rooms where clean- Ing is in progress, the worker hus plonty of fresh air. Yes, housework is an ex- cellent e: ise. “Ot course, there are women who haven't time for eithor gymnasiums or housework—women who sit at desks all day or over typewriters or sewing ma- chines, women who stand in stores and work in factories. There are a great many of them. 1 wish they could be made to know tlie value of walking. Of course that will not develop their arms or necessarily expand their chests. But walking and drawing in deep, long breaths, expelling the air slowly after each inspiration, will do more for their lungs and chests than quarts of oil and mustard plasters galore, It will give them appetites for dinner; it will invig- orate and strengthen them; it will help to render them impervious to cold; it is absolutely neccssary for the preserva- tion of ‘their health to wallk briskly, with shoulders well thrown back and heud erect, after their long day's im- prisonment. “For something which will devel the muscles—well, the evening walk plus the morning swinging of dumbbells or Indian clubs will be enough. An ex- ercise which seems to take some of the stiffness out of the body is this: Just before oue gets into bed let her hold her hands, the fingers touching, as bigh above her head as she can.
