Show MANY WOMEN WORK IN AUTO FACTORIES With American illustrated weeklies reproducing photographs of women at work in the munition plants of Great Britain, it has probably never occurred to the average reader that women have for some time past occupied much the same position in many of Uncle Sam's factories. At the plant of the Chalmers Motor company in Detroit women are employed in many tasks heretofore delegated exclusively ex-clusively to male employees. And they are not merely earning men's wages. They have proved to the satisfaction of the factory heads that they are more painstaking and efficient in every way. Starting in the top department, where the work of cutting and sewing mate rials for the tops and side curtains was exactly suited to their nature, the use of female, help has spread to a half dozen other departments. Everywhere the result has been the same increased efficiency and greater output. |
