“Mobilizing Woman Power | Of U.S.to Fill War Wants | Is New York Problém Is to Bring the Woman 5 and the Job Together So That Each Will Like the Other, and Mfs. Hilda Muhlhauser Rich- atds Has Tackled It as Head of the Womafi’s Division of the United States Department of Labor—There Must Be Proper Moral and Economic Safeguards, So That the Na- , tion May Be Benefited and the Places of the Soldiers Filled. * Marguertte Mooers Marshall. © bring together the woman and the war job, eo that the two may live happily ever after, will be the work of New York's newest woman comman- dant, Mie Hilda Mulhauser Rioh- ards, Mra. Richards bes just been ap- pointed Chief of the Women's Div- isiun of the Unt- ted States De- partment of La- bor, created by Secretary of Labor n, and the first Government de- created exclusively for Women. Mrs. Richards is the wife of Prof. Charles Russel! Richards, direc- tor of Cooper Union, and within ten days she will open the New York Branch of the Women’s Division at No, 23 Bast 224 Street. daa is now an eMctent clear- ing house for women's em- ployment bureaus, established by Stormer Mayor Mitchel'’s Committee ‘of Women on National Defense and in charge of Mra, Alexander Kohut at No, 44 East 23d Street. The State Detense Council has been making fe of this clearing house, and It has been taken as a model for other States and cities in a bill now before Congress. The Women's Department of the State Employment Bureat also has been placing New York women in war work. That the problem of handling the woman power of the United States must enlist many agencies is indi- cated by the recent announcement that more than a million and a quar- ter American women are engaged in industrial work, directly or indirectly \necessary for carrying on the war. ‘One hundred thousand of these wom- Woman’s Job that well-to-do women who 4o not need jobs are volunteering their ser- vices, also in the name of patriovsm, and depriving the needy of work.” “y THINK that drafted men should be replaced by older men rather than by women, wherever that Is pos- sible,” agreed Mrs, Richards. “The Woman who need not be sclf-support- ing should not enter the industrial fleld at present, although there ts plenty of work she can do. She can help follow up the girls and the jobs my bureau handles, for instance! “But, as more and more men are| taken into the army or navy, there must be gaps along the Leche | ine, Women must fill the vacancies, | They must receive equal pay with | men doing similar work, provided the women are equally competent, “I think the Government has done a big thing for women by appointing a central Woman's Division of Labor. Just now the Government Itself needs women as clerks, as munition work- ere, as packers. Inevitably, there wilt be a big call from the farms for wo- men this epring, and I think women can perform many eorts of farm work, “The Woman's Division of the La- bor Department has been created to meet a war emergency, With all tho power of the Government behind us, we plan to keep running smoothly from State to State, wherever there are whoels to turn, the stream of wo- man power. But no one organization is big enough to perform such a task, and we desire to co-operate with ail the existing agencies interested in the work of women during the present national emergency.” —_—_———— | ROBERT H.

Just the other day the Ordnance Department wanted one hundred women, most of them clerks, t@ replace young men who will go to the army or navy.
