Careerists Still Small Majority Among Women Vy yKA. Service “Women still look upon jobs as ‘transient,’ in spite of the fact that there are approximately 9,000,000 women gainfully employed in the United States,” said Rose Schneidermann. head of the Women s Trade Union League. “Women's primary interests In life and their only permanent ones are marriage, home and babies Careerists really are in a very smail majority, “With work less and less skilled because of the machine efficiency of this age, this naturally is the case. Running a mangle, stitching seams, punching holes in cans, sorting oranges and other mechanical jobs can never hold the imagination and interest of women.. , ’ The terrific turnover, figured at
100 per cent every five years in one industry, makes the work of organizing women a different problem 1 from that of men, who always face j the fact of being the bread-winners ; and working until they are forced to quit. “American women, because of this transient attitude, never have come forward in great numbers asking for organization. More and more women are going back to the factory after marriage, but only temporarily. For, unless a woman can earn a decent salary enough to em • pioy help at home, it doesn't pay her to work except when she needs some extras like clothes for the children, a radio, or money to pay for emergencies.” MUSIC SECTION TO GIVE LUNCHEON BRIDGE The music section of the Woman's Department Club will hold a luncheon bridge at neon Monday, July 18, i at the Home Economics Studios, 26 !
