WOMAN'S RANK AS AN
EARNER OF WAGES
Proportion of (be Female Workers lo (tic
Laboring Class Increasing.
REPORT OF DEPARTA1ENT OF LABOR
Commissioner M'rlnht's l'lgnrcH,
Lately Transmitted to ConRrcsp, Arc
Confined to u Comparison ol'tho Ex
tent of Employment nnd Wages in
tho PrcHCtit Period With the Condi
tions l'reinlling Some Years Ago.
An Interesting Compilation.
The eleventh annual report of the
department of labor, by Commissioner
Wright, relates entirely to the work
nnd wages of men, women and chll
eHcn. It shows that the proportion of
women to the whole working class U
Increasing, white that of children Is
deci easing. Tho leport was prepared
In pursuance of a Joint resolution of
congress directing an lnestlgatlon
relative to the employment of men,
women and children. This report is
confined strictly to a comparison of
the extent of employment anil wages
In lS0:.-03 or "present period" with the
conditions which pe-rtnlned some years
(termed "foimer period") antedating
the present period by at least ten
years.
The definite purposes of tho Investi
gation were lo dtermlne to what ex
te nt, If any, women were superseding
men; to show the conjugal condition
of the women who were employed; to
compare the relative elliciency of men
and women, and finally to show tho
lelatlve nuet of wages receive i by
each sex In each Industry.
RELIABLE DATA SECURED.
It was (julte unnecessary to ever
the whole country. That Is, to collect
lnfoi motion from all Industrial estab-Ilshmet-ts.
The attempt, therefore,
was not made. Tho agents of the de
rartment, however, secured Informa
tion from 1067 establishments of vari
ous klnd3, located in thirty different
states, and employing 143,367 persons,
a number laige enough to ensure that
the data collected were thoroughly re
presentative. The complete data
Foujjht for, however, was obtained
from only 931 establishments. Theso
031 establishments employed 64,560 per
sons In tho former and 108,648 In the
present period. Of this number, in the
first period, 20,47i were males of 18
years of age or over as against 43,195
In the second; and 4,175 males under
18 years of age, as against 7.R10 In the
second. In the first period 27,163 wero
females 18 years of age or over, and
6,743 females under IS years of age, as
against 45,162 and 12,751 respectively In
the present period.
From these figures It Is seen that
male employes IS years of age or over
Increased In the present peilod over the
former period 63.1 per cent., while fe
male employes of the same age period
Increnseel 66.3 per cent. Male employes
under IS years of age Increased S0.6 per
cent., while femule employes under IS
years of age Inei eased 89.1 per cent.
As collateral Information, an Interest
ing showing Is made" of the figures of
the past three censuses concerning tho
emplojment of women. The propor
tion of females 10 years of age and over
employed In all occupations in tho
United States rose In Its relation to tho
whole number employed from 14.68 per
cent. In 1S70 to 17.22 per cent. In 1890,
while males decreased In nroportlon
from S5.32 per cent. In 1S70 to 82.78 per
cent. In 1800.
MARRIED
WOMEN AS
EARNERS.
WAGE-
The report throws considerable addi
tional light upon the much-discussed
question as to married women In in
dustrial pursuits. For the present per
iod, out of on aggregate of 70,037 wo
men, 70,021 or SS.7 per cent, were single;
6,775, or 8.5 per cent., married; 2,011, or
2 5 per cent., divorced, and 244, or
three-tenths of one per cent., unknown.
The Inst census figures on this colnt
are also analyzed. Of the 3,914,571 fe
males 10 years of age and over engaged
In gainful pursuits in the United
States In 1SD0, 69.84 per ctnt. were single
or their conjugal condition unknown;
13.16 per cent, were married; 16.10 psr
cent, were widowed, and 90 per cent,
were divorced.
A comparison of the census figures
with those resulting from the investi
gation of the department can only jo
made with certain limitations, as the
former relate to all females produc
tively employed, while the latter relate
chiefly to manufacturing establish
ments where women are employed to a
large extent. In 430 of tho establish
ments canvassed the agents eecuroi
data as to the relative efficiency of wo
men and children and of men working
at the same occupation. Of 7S2 la
stances in which men and women work
at the same occupation and perform
their work with tho same degree cj
efficiency, men receive gi eater pay !r.
C95, or 70.1 per cent., of the Instances,
and women received greater pay In 12?,
or 16.5 per cent., while In ES lnttar.cer,
or 7.4 per cent., they receive the sarr.e
pay for tho same work. The men re
ceive 50.1 per cent, greater pay than tho
women in the 595 instances In which
they are given greater pay, while tii;
women receive but 10.3 per cent, greevtev
pay In the 129 Instances In which they
are paid higher wages.
Out of the 22S instances in which'
men and children (persons undor 38
yearo of age) work at the samo occu
pation with a like degree of efficiency,
men receive greater pay In 182, or 79.8
per cent, of the Instances, and children
receive greater pay In 20 or 10.5 per
cent., while In 22 instances, cr 9.7 per
cent., they receive greater pay In 2'4, or
10,5 per cent., formed with the same de
gree of efficiency. The men receive 57.7
per cent greater pay than the children
in 182 Instances In w hlch they aro paid
more, while tho children receive but 8.C
per cent, greater pay In the 24 Instan
ces In which they are paid hlcher
wases.
WOMEN ARE RELIABLE.
Tho main reason given for the em
ployment of women and girls Is usu
ally that they are better adapted for
the work at' which they are employed.
Other reasons are that 'they are moro
reliable, more easily controlled, cheap
er, more temperate, more easily pro
curable, neater, more rapid, more In
dustrious, less liable to strike, learn
more rapidly, etc.
On the other hand, the reasons for
their opinion given by those who did
not believe that there was any tendency
for tho employment of women to In
crease In their Industries wero that
very often women, who aro better
adapted and cheaper, nro unreliable;

A girl with a bano wrecked his ambi

who took a rabbit out of a silk hat
eternally Kiuelched his pride.
"My dear," he said to his wife, on
their way home, "I have been thinking

been far from wasted."
"I was very much afraid that you
would feel differently about It."
"No. I have made a very Important
and Interesting discovery. The merest
accidents sometimes lead to the most
surprising revelations, and tonight I
learned something which completely
overturns ntt accepted theory."
"Is It possible?"
"We have been leil to believe that the
chief of all forces Is that attraction of

"Yes."
"Well,' I have found out tonight that
there nre times when It can't hold a
