22 BIG STATE BOARD FOR EQUAL WAGE Takes Action at Meeting Dur ing Which Women's Em ployment Is Discussed The Industrial Board went on rec ord last evening as favoring wages for -women in industrial war service to be equal to that paid to men 1 for the same service. That action was taken on resolution offered by Mrs. Samuel Semple, of Titusville, Pennsylvania, the only woman mem ber of the board. Other members of the board present were Dr. A. L. Garvcr, of Rearing Spring, repre senting employers; William Young, of Philadelphia, representing labor, and Commissioner John Price Jack son, chairman of the boarS. The board also made rulings per mitting women to work In certain processes In plants manufacturing explosives and chemicals only when most approved methods of dust elim ination exist, that women be pre vented from heavy lifting and that other specified means for safeguard ing their health be adopted. The lesoiution offered by Mrs. Semple and adopted on the matter of equal wage for women is as fol lows: "The board strongly recommends to persons or organizations taking women into their employment in the place of men that they look upon it as patriotic service, that the wage paid to the women shall be equal to that paid to the men for the same service. The board calls to the at tention of the employers the fact that it is tne service of the women that will enable thefti to maintain their industries; and also the fact that many of these women, because of the military service required of the men of their families, are now compelled to assume self-support, and also—in many instances —the suport of dependants. The board urges its belief that patriotic devo tion of employes and of employers should go hand in hand." Regarding the employment of women in Pennsylvania plants man ufacturing explosives and chemicals the Industrial board rules as follows: (1) Inasmuch as It Is an estab lished fact that women are more sus ceptible tlian men to certain indus trial poisions met with in the man ufacture of explosives and chemicals, the employir-cnt of women In these industries shall be permitted only where the most approved methods are used for the elimination of fumes and dust. The employment of women shall also b6 condltlonel upon the employment of a woman as a plant nurse, whose duty It shall be to In struct the women in safeguards to health. (2) The work in such plants shall be so rearranged that men shall at all times perform that part of the work which Involves the lifting of heavy weights; and women shall not be required, or allowed to lift heavy weights. (3) The employment of women is prohibited in handling of the nitra tors in the manufacture of nitro glycerine. (4) Conditions of heating, lighting and ventilation shall be maintained at the highest point of efficiency. Means shall be provided whereby puddles of water on the floor shall be eliminated —or the floors slatted —to prevent wet feet. (5) Rest, wash, dressing and lunch rooms shall be provided In full ac cord of the requirements of the woman's law. The physical upkeep of the establishments shall be In full accord with the safety standards of the Department of Labor and In dustry.
