JULY 1, 1930

Women Cry for Equality l in Pay Check BY MAR IHA LEE T Ever so often, a faint cry rises pfrom the ranks of working women (which reaches this desk) bemoaning the fact that there is discrimination between themselves and workins men. * We work just as hard, just as faithfully and very often with greater attention to details," they complain, “and yet our remuneration for the work is less. How come?" And the men. always quick on the trigger, retort, "Why not? You marry. You quit jour jobs as soon as you hear the most remote tinkle of a wedding bell. You can afford to work for less because you do not hß\e the financial responsibility we do. Furthermore, your entrance into our fields c' endeavor have put many of us out of work. When you women come in for jobs which, granted you can do as well, the employers offer you less money than they would have to pay us, and you take it.” The first part of their retort is true enough. A woman employe is a greater risk than a male employe. Women do have a way of getting married. A great number of girls take jobs to bridge over the time between school life and the altar. Less Truth in Second There is less truth in the second part of the statement. Just as many women have financial responsibility as men. They work to support parents, younger sisters and brothers, besides themselves. Not only that, but a large percentage of them, already married, work to support their own children. The status of women has changed drastically in the last twenty-five years. They have made tremendous strides toward independence and opportunities for them never have been so diversified in any period as in this year 1930. They are saner, more capable, even healthier than ever before, if we are to believe statistics. It’s been a battle for them to gain this independence. Men were determined to keep them at home, sewing fine seams. But they’ve broken that tradition. And now they want to be recognized, in round numbers on the pay envelope, as being as important as men economically. A woman worker makes the point rather clear and brings, out some new discriminations besides. Dear Miss Lee—l'm all worked up about something and must get It off my chest. It's about the unfairness with which employers treat women workers. I have been in the same office for six years. M.v -joint was to get ahead. I have fair executive ability and know It. For five or six years. I have been working toward one Job. I got meager increases In salary, but I didn't mind that. I wanted that lob. Finally after a wait of five years, doing work for which I was being paid less than several men employes who had less responsible Jobs than mine, the opening came. Fut New .Man in Flare Did I get It? Ask me. They put anew man in the place, and I've spent a month teaching him all I knew about ft. It’s so unfair. Miss Lee I know it's because I am a woman. I heve no intentions of marrying and my employers have reason to believe I'll be here as long as any man they have in their employe. But I didn't get the job. I guess we women not only get less money, but also have slim chances for advancement. SOUR. Our educational system does this sort of thing Women have won greater independence and self-as-surance. which incidentally, has brought them inci eased economic responsibilities. But there is one form of'education for men and another entirely different one for women. Which has a great deal to do so with men setting the cream of jobs (and salaries) and women taking what's left of both. But, with all due respect to everybody concerned, a woman is a greater financial risk for the employer. He has so many girls who are just beginning to be valuable to his establishment, step out on him, that he probably doesn’t recognize an old standby when he sees one. Eventually, women workers will be recognized as being as capable as men on pay day. In the meantime, I guess we’d better just be thankful we are allowed a foothold in the economic field, however dubious, however inadequately paid, according to men s standard of wages.
