Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 208, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 September 1915 — The Bonnie Conductor Lassie. [ARTICLE]

The Bonnie Conductor Lassie.

Edinburgh, Scotland, has two dozen women street car conductors who are a thorough success in the new line of work. Other tramways are already recruiting girls and training them to be conductors. It Is said that girls working in the English cartridge factories are so fired with patriotism that* some of them work thirty hours in a stretch without any rest. Miss Elizabeth Lister has been appointed a statlonmaster in South Wales, the first woman to act in that capacity. In the north of England and In Scotland and Wales the men workers are being supplanted in the fields by women, who can be seen following the barrow or digging and hoeing.
