PETERS Eighteen and a half million women are now working for wages, mostly in jobs essential 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 conflict. 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 1917. Miss Mary Anderson, director of the war agency, was appointed head of the Womens Bureau. After developing the Bureau to its present impressive status, she retired last June at the age of 71, with 25 years of service to working women accomplished. Under the guidance of Miss Anderson, the bureau made intensive study of conditions and problems of women workers in various types of employment professional, business, Industrial and domestic, fhe was responsible for calling two important conferences of women in industry, in 1923 and 1936, attended by representatives of all important womens organizations. The principles she advocated were: 1. Complete equality of opportunity for men and women on the basis of their individual merit, skill and experience. 2. Wage rates based on job content without regard to sex. 3. Establishing of precise and objective standards for determining job content as a basis for determining wage rates. In 1918 there were eight and a half million women workers. In the Mrs. Nora T. Sterns, outstanding member of a class of Tractorettes" pilots a big machine on the Sterns farm.

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 spinning, at home, but the yarn was brought for weaving to large rooms where looms were in use. The earliest cotton mill was established in 1814, and thereafter weaving became 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 operated 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 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 ma-thin- T AGENTS WANTED Agency Watches Over In World War I, when, as now, millions of women were called upon to replace men In a thousand occupations, the department of labor became interested in the special needs and problems of working women.

The factories, located with a view to available power and future marketing, soon developed communities, and these attracted other workers in various lines of activity. As towns grew in size, many of the older household occupation's became impossible. The entrance of women into wageearning occupations was tremendously speeded up by the Civil war and World War I. Of the role women played during the first World war, we have a dramatic picture. The war itself wrenched the whole industrial machine. In the quick shift from peace to war, women as well as men were rapidly absorbed 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 industry, in which women were indispensable, and it expanded the industries that made the material necessary for aircraft manufacture. Meanwhile the army of 4.000,000 men had to be fed and clothed, and in addition the nations industries had to continue to supply the needs of the people at home. There are striking parallels between the first World war and the present one in regard to women In steadily increasing workers. numbers, then as now, women entered fields which had been regarded as mens exclusive province although thousands of women carried on in traditionally feminine food and fabric industries. Experienced women who were already in manufacturing in 1917 were utilized largely for munitions making. They helped to train new groups formerly otherwise employed, such as school teachers, who joined their ranks, as well as the large numbers of inexperienced women never before in the labor force. Growing numbers of women were hired in such industries as iron, steel, lumber, transchemicals, portation equipment, metal and metal products and others. The Womens Bureau had recorded World War I experience in the use of women labor, so it was natural that the bureau should be recognized as the official agency for all matters relating to womens employment in the present war effort. On March 15, 1941, the Undersecretary of War indicated that he would take measures to see that the War department take up all matters of concern to women workers with the Womens Bureau, and there has been close cooperation since that date. Cooperative relationships have been established with the Navy Department, with other Government departments, and with state organizations and war contractors. Can Do Any Job If Trained. The peacetime work women were doing on punch presses, drilling machines, 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 was industries In the last easily demonstrated. 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 industries, as well as the rapid induction of others into the armed forces, resulted in a growing demand for the employment of women in agri cultural work.
