PETERS Eighteen and a half million women are now working for wages, mostly in jobs essen-- i lial to war. Some five million of these are new to the labor markets; they have gone into factories and fields since 1940, when the nation began to buckle down for the great con-- i flict. All in all, women have been doing a magnificent job. No task has been too dirty, or dangerous or difficult; they have cheerfully accepted all discomforts and hazards. In World War I, when, as now, millions of women were called upon to replace men in a thousand occu-pations, the department of labor be-came interested in the special needs and problems of working women. In 1920 a permanent subdivision, the Women's bureau, was established, which superseded the temporary This specially trained girl makes some adjustments on the nose as-sembly of a P-3-9 Airacobra. There is scarcely any task in aviation manufacture that women have not mastered. Woman in Industry Service, set up in 1917. Miss Mary Anderson, director of the war agency, was appointed head of the Women's Bureau. After developing the Bureau to its pres-ent impressive status, sne retired last June at the age of 71, with 25 years of service to working wom-en accomplished. Under the guidance of Miss An-derson, the bureau made intensive study of conditions and problems of women workers in various types of employment professional, business, industrial and domestic. She was responsible for calling two impor-tant conferences of women in indus- - looking for factory operatives turned to women. The factories, located with a view to available power and future mar-keting, soon developed communities, and these attracted other workers in various lines of activity. As towns grew in size, many of the older household occupations became im-possible. The entrance of women into wage-earnin- g occupations was tremen-dously speeded up by the Civil war and World War I. Of the role wom-en played during the first World war, we have a dramatic picture. The war itself wrenchpd the whole cultural work. In interesting wom-en in such work, the bureau cooper- - ated with other government agen-cies concerned, and in addition for-- 1 mulated and helped put into prac-- j tice standards for women's employ- - ment on farms. Today, women are being utilized in three broad categories of jobs: 1. Those that women have always done, now multiplied by the de- - mands of war. 2. Those where they have been used as substitutes for men, either as replacements or in expanding in-- ! dustries. 3. Those that are new processes never performed by either sex (some of these are the result of sub-division of skilled operations to. fa-cilitate mass production, while otb-- industrial machine. In the quick shift from peace to war, women as well as men were rapidly ab-sorbed by the iron and steel mills, metal factories and foundries; they were practically drafted to make munitions and other war supplies. Aerial warfare created a new indus-try, in which women were indispen-sable, and it expanded the indus-tries that made the material neces-sary for aircraft manufacture. try, in 1923 and 1936, attended by representatives of all important women's organizations. The princi-ples she advocated were: 1. Complete equality of opportu-nity for men and women on the basis of their individual merit, skill and experience. 2. Wage rates based on Job con-tent without regard to sex. 3. Establishing of precise and ob-jective standards for determining Job content as a basis for determin-ing wage rates. In 1918 there were eight and a half million women workers. In the ers are the result of manufacture of new kinds of equipment) Though men are still found in most of the top and highly skilled indus-trial jobs, women to an increasing degree are doing the more skilled, difficult and disagreeable jobs, as well as certain dangerous and some-times inappropriate types of work. During World War I the question was: Would women remain as work-ers when the war ended? Many people thought this question would be answered by the return of women to their homes or their old occupa-tions. This time the question is: How may we best organize and car-ry out the shift from wartime to peacetime employment? Three Million Will Quit. The Women's Bureau believes that at least 3 million women will vol-untarily withdraw from the labor market young girls will go back to school; older women at retirement age or past, will retire; many of the 3,710.000 housewives who joined the labor force for the duration only, will be glad to take over full time homemaking duties. This will leave a force of about 15 million women workers for the immediate postwar Meanwhile the army of 4,000,000 men had to be fed and clothed, and in addition the nation's industries had to continue to supply the needs of the people at home. There are striking parallels be-tween the first World war and the present one in regard to women workers. In steadily increasing numbers, then as now, women en-tered fields which had been regard-ed as men's exclusive province al-though thousands of women carried on in traditionally feminine food and fabric industries. Experienced wom-en who were already in manufac-turing in 1917 were utilized largely for munitions making. They helped to train new groups formerly other-wise employed, such as school teach-ers, who joined their ranks, as well as the large numbers of inexperi-enced women never before in the labor force. Growing numbers of women were hired in such indus-tries as iron, steel, lumber, trans-portation equipment, chemicals, metal and metal products and oth-ers. period. Miss Frieda S. Miller, who became Director of the Women's Bureau on August 17, 1944, believes the shift to peacetime jobs is a manageable thing, if we are both forehanded and farsighted as to planning. She believes this planning must begin at local levels, and provide for advi-sory counsels for all groups, and facilities for training and retraining of war workers for peacetime em-ployment. After the last war, the Assistant Secretary of War, acting as the D-irector of Munitions at that time, paid this tribute to women. "For the successful carrying out of our program for the production of vast quantities of explosives and propellants, as well as shell loading, the women of America must be giv-en credit on account of the highly important part they took in this phase of helping to win the war. Fully 50 per cent of the number of employees in our explosive plants were women, who braved the dan-gers connected with this line of work, to which they had been, of course, entirely unaccustomed, but whose perils were not unknown to them." Miss Miller believes that women's contribution has been much more extensive in World War II. In the postwar world, she says, "Let us dovetail the skills and experiences of men and women workers so as to produce all the varied and numer-ous goods and services needed for a d economy and well-rounde- d living for all our people." With the war still far from being won,' women of America give every indication of surpassing all previous goals in war production. Mrs. Nora T.

These 18 million women make up 36 per cent of the total nonagricultural labor force, and 20 per cent of the agricultural labor force of the United States. Machine Age Changes Life. The amount of gainful work done by women at home has decreased steadily, while the amount of their gainful work outside the home has increased. At the beginning of the 18th century women still were spin-ning at home, but the yarn was brought for weaving to large rooms where looms were in use. The ear- - liest cotton mill was established in 1814, and thereafter weaving be-came a factory occupation. In 1831 there were 39,000 women employed in various cotton factories in the United States. By the middle of the century, the sewing machine came into effective use, usually op-erated by women. Thus into a world of gardening and raising sheep in the back yard, of grinding flour, of weaving cloth In the "front room," the first ma- - chines appeared and revolutionized our whole manner of life. Since many of the earlier machines did work that had always been done by women at home, manufacturers The Women's Bureau had record-ed World War I experience in the use of women labor, so it was nat-ural that the bureau should be rec-ognized as the official agency for all matters relating to women's em-ployment in the present war ef-fort. On March 15, 1941, the Un-dersecretary of War indicated that he would take measures to see that the War department take up all matters of concern to women work-ers with the Women's Bureau, and there has been close cooperation since that date. Cooperative rela-tionships have been established with the Navy Department, with other Government departments, and with state organizations and war con-tractors. Can Do Any Job If Trained. The peacetime work women were doing on punch presses, drilling ma-chines, milling machines, lathes, grinders, and polishers, as well as their high record of achievement in inspection, assembly, filing and other bench work in metal and electrical industries was well known to the bureau. The extent to which these developed skills would be useful to industries was easily demonstrated. In the last war women had proved themselves able in an emergency to make good on any job if adequately trained. The transfer of vast numbers of agricultural workers to the war in-dustries, as well as the rapid induc-tion of others into the armed forces, resulted in a growing demand for the employment of women in agri- - Both young and old find there Is a place for them In war production.

BRITISH AID IN PACIFIC Norris PoullOti of California, Republican, returned from London recently and refused to be quoted in the press on what he had learned there about British aid to the U. S. A. against Japan. Finally, confronted with the details of a conversation in which he had participated, Poulson admitted that he had discussed the Pacific war with two influential members of the British parliament. "Just what sort of help can we expect frofn you people once Ger-many Is knocked out?" Poulson asked them. "Well, we've got an army of over 7,000.000 Indians," one of the two Britons replied. "You can have them." "But you know perfectly well we cannot rely on them," Poulson said bluntly. "You'll be lucky if they don't fight against you; let alone fight for you against Japan." The Britisher admitted he, too, was worried about the Indians, but added, "At any rate, there's a large army of Australians and New "In other words," countered Poul-so- "you people here on the island are going to pull out just as soon as you can, leaving to your colonir als the responsibility for any aid we get in the Pacific." "That's about right," was the re- - ply. "We've had five years of war here. That's enough." Note Despite congressional con-- j cern, some high U. S. navy men are not enthusiastic about either British or Russian help against Ja-pan. They feel U. S. forces can do the job themselves. When the British wanted to send a naval force to cooperate with the American fleet in the Philippines, Admiral King objected and the Pres-ident virtually had to overrule him. BRITISH TROOPS PROTECT GREEKS For some reason the news was suppressed in the United States, but a very significant event took place in Salonika, Greece, during the trouble between the British and the EAM-ELA- Greeks. When the British ordered troops in Salonika to suppress the Greeks, the troops sided with the Greeks and refused to fire on them. The troops were a garrison of the British Indian army. The Indians threw their weight on the side of the Greek organization which bitter-ly opposed the return of King George, and which Churchill chums to be communist. There was no rioting or bloodshed. The Indian troops simply cooperated with the Greeks. Simultaneously Krishna Menon, secretary of the India league, made a speech in London attended by sev- - eral members of the British parlia-ment in which he praised the Indian troous in Salonika and said: "They go in their landlords' cars and vote against him." The incident is considered ex-tremely important not only as it effects Greece, but as it ef-fects India and the Far East. General Stilwell, when in the Burma theater, was reported hy U. S. Ambassador William Phil-lips as considering Britisli-In- - dian troops mercenaries who would not put their hearts into any battle as long as India was not given its independence. a SECOND CALVIN COOLIOGE In more ways than one, Harry Tru-man is like Calvin Coolidge. He comes from the same backwoods origin. He seldom makes speeches on the senate floor. He Is thrifty, remembers the days when the drug-store paid him $3 a week. But more than anything else Tru-man has the same brand of Coolidge political luck. The lightning hit Cal first during the Boston police strike, later when the party bosses in the smokefilled room at the Blackstone hotel wanted a good composite vice president to go with Harding. The lightning struck Truman when his investigating committee hurtled him to fame, later when the Demo-cratic bosses dining at the White House decided that he was the com-promise candidate to replace Henry Wallace. That is the man who has assumed the life insurance duties of vice pres-ident of the United States. He will be worth watching. CAPITAL CHAFF C When Allied troops entered a little Belgian town for the first time the local church warden climbed to the carillon tower of the church and the bells started to ring out "The d Banner." Next came "God Save the King" and, finally, "Swanee River." C. John Danaher of Connecticut, who failed of reelection to the senate in November, may get back here even though he lost out to Brien McMa-hon- . Connecticut law requires a four-mont- h notice before an election to replace the late Francis can be held, and Republican Governor Ray Baldwin may name Republican Danaher to serve in the interim, with Danaher also running in the election. C. Burma engineers have coined a new word to describe jungle trails. A fairly good trail is described as "jeepable."
