Miss Belva M. Herron, Instructor In
economics in the University of Illi-
nois, Is the author of a monograph on
labor organizations among women,
which has recently appeared in the
series of university studies, No. 10.
In this monograph, Miss Herron dis-
cusses in an Interesting way, the work
of women In the printing establish-
ments of the country.
She says that the work of women
in the newspaper offices is small in
proportion to that of men. There are
a few women employed on newspapers
in the large cities, as machine opera-
tors or proof readers; In the smaller
towns, they set up straight matter,
but are never employed as a "make-
up" or In the "adroom." In 1900,
there were in newspaper and periodi-
cal offices, 73,053 men, earning near-
$45,000,000; and 14,851 women,
earning $4,600,000, a ratio of some-
thing less than live to one In favor
of the men. During the decade 1890-
1900 there was a much greater In-
crease among the women thp.n among
men, suggesting that competition had
lead to a search for cheaper labor. Of
the 9,045 workers upon the linotype
machine, only 520 were women. A
large proportion of these machines
are in newspaper offices, and a par-
tial explanation of the small number
of female operators In this class or
work on all morning papers. In Chlca'
go, the extensive employment of wo-
men 'is precluded on newspapers
trade Journals, and the like because
the rush work crowds the women out
of competition.
CANNOT STAND THE STRAIN.
The efficiency as women as printers
and their corresponding wage is gen
erally less than that of the men. One
explanation for this is that they can-
not stand the strain of the rapid work
which the newspaper offices in parti-
cular demand. Another explanation
for the Inferior role played by women
in the trade, is to be found in their
lack of preparation for it. It is the
unwritten law that women enter the
trade and receive regular pay after
six weeks' tuition in typesetting
while men serve an apprenticeship of
four years. Thus, the high grade work
is Impossible for women, who are em-
ployed mainly in setting up "straight
matter," and "distributing." In proof
reading, however, no distinction Is
made between men and women. The
copy holder is generally a young girl,
who looks to learn type setting later.
Feeding the press is also largely done
by women; but pressmen have no
competition from their sisters in the
trade.
WHY WOMEN DO NOT LEARN THE
HIGHER CLASS WORK.
Why women do not learn the more
difficult work lg a question answered
in various ways. They do not care, ac-
cording to a prominent union official,
to work hard for a large salary. They
are not allowed to learn the more
complicated processes, because the
employer does not wish to have his
work hindered by helping girls who
stay only a short time on the service.
The temporary character of womens'
labor, aUo, keeps them from rising
to thebest classes of work. Many
women quit the trade to get marrltJ
or go home to take care of parents, or
often brothers and sisters. Matrimony
however, is retarded as tl/> main
cause for women's "low position In
the trade. The wages paid women are
generally Inferior to those received
by the men. Several master printers
of Boston declared that, If they had
to puy the same time wages to women,
they would turn all the girls off, be-
cause they could not earn the $17 and
$18 per week which Is the union scale'
WOMEN IN TYPOGRAPHICAL UN-
ION.
The position of women In the typo-
graphical union Is one of little In-
fluence, as a rule. A much larger per
cent, of the men of the craft than of
the women are enrolled, and all Union
representatives ngree that women a-e
much harder to organize than men.
An explanation of this lack of Inter-
est Is given by the general secretary
as follows: "A large percentage of
women who work, are merely doing
so until they dud the mail of their
choice, and become the head of
household— * Again, proprletots claim
that they cannot |>ay men ami women
tlu> Ramc wages, fy the reason that
women cannot perform the same
amount of work hs the men. Once
within the I'nlon, the women seom to
lack Interest In Its activities."
Women come to tho meetings In
small priport'ons. They have little
la.nte for a room black with tobacco
sir.olte, a id they have no genius for
wrangling and discussions long drawn
out. Women, too, arc more religious-
ly Inclined than men. nnd Union meet
Ings are often held on Sunday after-
noon, therefore they do not attend.
These considerations may seem trlv
Inl, but they are suggestive of fund.

Now is the time to secure Mr. Bryan's paper. All
democrats need the paper and Mr. Bryan needs the sup-
port and co operation of all true friends of reform. The
Commoner has commenced to organize the democratic hosts
for 1908. Mr. Bryan's advocacy through The Commoner
of public ownership of railroad and telegraph systems, the
election of U. S. judges and U. S. senators by popular
vote, direct legislation, the overthrow of private monopo-
lies, tariff reform and other issues, insures interesting and
instructive reading as well as new life to the party.
The Commoner and Star both one year for the low
?rice of $1.50, regular price of The Commoner, $1.00.
his offer applies to both new and renewal subscriptions.
