WOMEN WORKERS
"In Germany, in certain industries, the proportion of total
work done by women has risen from slightly under 18 per cent
5 in 1914 to practically 60 per cent in 1917." Chicago Tribune.
This big increase in the proportion of women employed in indus
tries since the beginning of the war in 1914 is significant in its bear
ing upon the productive power of Germany after the war ends. It
means that the loss of man power in war is to be. made up by woman
power. It means that the total of industrial production will be main
tained, and probably increased. It means that Germany is prepared
to resume her position as an exporter of manufactures to world mar
kets; that with great additions from the female population she will
have more workers and cheaper workers than ever before.
, ''Men must work and women must weep," said the poet. -Yes; wo
men must weep for the lost ones, but they must work as never before.
The increase in three years of from
cent of women in German industries is not true of Germany alone.
There has been an enormous increase of women workers in every one
of the warring countries of Europe. To an extent never, before ex
perienced the women of the Old World have entered the industrial
ranks. The same thing is to be said of the Orient. Japan is today
employing more women and children
them from 4 to 1U cents a day.
What is going to be the effect in
of peace, of this wholesale drafting
The answer is plain : Lower wages and a larger volume of industrial
production than ever before. With this must come keener competi
tion and a fiercer struggle for export markets. If the present tariff
law remains in force after the war
market that is widest open to the
American labor and production will
