EFFECT OF WOMEN WORKING FOR WAGES. EVERAL charitable o i have been investigating the re- sults of women working for wages. Statistics have been compiled of the total earnings of New England cotton mill families, Pittsburg ironworkers’ families and typical New York families where all the members above the compulsory school age work. The conclusion is that families engaged in occupa- tions where all the members of ‘ the family work earn little more| than families where only the man works at an occupation where only men are employed. Don'T Touchy For instance, in the building trades almest every employee is a man. Jn the clothing trades men, women and children above the ) school age work. A good, steady mason, ironworker or other skilled man in the building trades earns as much money as a whole family fn the clothing trade. : | Hy | j { | i | RUN AWAY YOU DOG oR, { (LL PUTA i; | Few MoRE t | ON You i; } i j In New England mill villages, where it is common for the women j of the family to work, the result has been to lower men’s wages both } at the trades at which women work and in the trades at which only , { men work.
