"Then, in September, 1918, the women walked out again, asking this time for an indemnity of 3 france a day. We called it this, instead of an increase, because we asked for it as an indemnity to help us meet the high war cost of living, with the un- derstanding that it might be given up when expenses were again lowered after the war, Finally, our *hird | strike, in May, 1919, won for us @ present salary of 78 francs a week. “But this strike lasted too long— ven weeks,” added Mile, Bouillot wisely. ‘To be effective, a strike should be a short, well planned, well | organized demonstration of power. | Of course, it is a form of protest newer to women than to men, and In this last strike, for example, some of the branch®s of the organization were impatient and went out before we gave the word from headquarters. | Nevertheless, I believe in the strike!” | This came with a flash of the cyes 6 Gallic emphasis, the n can use it as effec. when they have had a nditions for Belgian ho-Biovak women are so |sauoh Detter than for the women in my country that I hate to talk about our situation,” she added with feel- 2) | ing: UT what do French women need ‘ in the labor world?” I asked. now are the records of the women members kept separate from those of the men.

With the exception of the maternity provisions, practically ev- erything asked for by French working women is for the benefit of men as well as women. This point of view, emphasizing the splendid solidarity of French industry as opposed to a separation of inter- ests based on sex, is summed up in the preamble to the labor chart pre- pared by the women: “Woman is interosted equally with man in almost all labor questions. Their respective interests, far from being opposed, possess solidarity. Feminine and masculine activities are associated,.are mingled, are identified to such a point that jt is impossible to solve in isolation the problems of women's work.
