Tt all de~ er y Business Women of New rk Who Have Risen as gnographers to Positions of _ WOT ALWAYS TYPEWRITERS. | They Are Declared to Be Equally Competent with Men to Take Higher Positions, Marriage Not ~ Being Their Sole Aim. Women stenographers are slways Wwo- ‘stenographers, say: edict issued wee ‘Northwestern Railway. For this Feason, and decsare they can’t run hand- ears, lay bulld tracks and operate railroads, the road, according to @ despatch from Chicago yesterday, has women from all positions on its Already half o dozen of the prettiest young women employed in the generat Office hse given up thelr positions, and the resignations of many others are expected to follow this week. The rea- fon for the sudden ruling against wo- mien employees is not due, as it would ‘be natural to infer, to hatred of the sex So aM dy the filting of some high al, for the railroad managers unite fm saying that it is a pleasant thing to have ™an about, even during business hours. ‘The wherefore of the seem! un- Just @iscrimination against girl @tenographers is found in the penston| system of the railroad. For its officials @laim that a woman stenagrapher can hever be anything else, and is not fitted for promotion under the civil-service Fules in force under the pension system. ‘Thousands of stenographers all over America will ridicule this si @nd in New York scores of s ‘women in the different branches of bus! ness life disprove {t dully. Of course, the young women say when a girl takes up stenography, sho does not often drop it to study law or medicine, or become an archicect. Just Like Men. They declare that neither does the fan stenographer, if he !s competent, nee Kis: profession as merely a step- atone to another.

A capabdle git], who applies herself to her work and makes herself useful to her em- ployer, can command as high a salary as} @n¥ man in the business. Stenography | fe one of the few professions in which| the rewards of men and women are! equal. Indeed, if anything, the balance fs in favor of women, for business men prefer to have women handle thelr cor- Fespondence. They know women can be depended on. A man holding a dificult position, involving great, nervous strain, ‘will sometimes go o ffon and get drunk, leaving his employer !n a lurch. A mo- man, of course, never does that, and If @he feels that she ts on her honor, is Just as careful of her employers’ erets as a man could be.
