WORKADAY FOLK
TO HEAR LECTURE
Illustrated Talk on "Women
in Industry" Sponsored by
Civic Club at Y.W.C.A.
An illustrated talk on ||Women in In
dustry" will be given this evening in the
John Y. Boyd Hall under the direction
of the Civic Club and the Industrial de
partment of the Y. W. C. A. Miss Mary
Van Kleeck, director of the "Women in
i Industry Service, Department of La
' bor, who sends out the lecture and
I slides, in speaking on the subject said:
■ "In time of peace no less than In time
of war the nation must depend for its
prosperity upon the productive efficiency
of its workers. The most important
question arising now is the comparative
wage paid to women and men. The
j principal of equal pay for equal work
i was alfirmed repeatedly by agencies of
i the Federal government during the war
as a means of preventing the lowering
of industrial standards. This principle
should be carried further. Wages
should be based upon occupation and not
upon sex."
The subject matter to be presented
this evening will be of vital interest to
i all people interested in women of the
j working world. Some of the points to
ihe considered are : "Eight-hour Day—
j Forty-four Hour Week," "Lunch and
' Rest Periods." "Equal Pay for Equal
! Work." "Factory Sanitation." "Correct
\ Posture and Dress," "Employment
; Management," and "Co-operation Be
tween Worker and Employer."
