Slap ‘Sex Unfairness ’ in Business Indianapolis business women read "Time” consistently, enjoy movies, prefer the legitimate theater, play cards occasionally, feel that discrimination against won' 0 ” in business in favor of men is prevalent, and that discrimination against women in business because of marriage is unfair. This much was obtained from members of eity business women’s clubs, following a questionnaire issued by the National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs working in conjunction with the social economy ’epartment of Bryn Mawr, the survey results to be used in vocational guidance work. The majority of professional women never have been discriminated against because of marriage, but have been discriminated against beoause of their sex in the matter of salaries and fees. The women’s opinion is that men will not pay a woman the wage a man demands for equal or even superior work. One prominent business woman, Miss Merlca Hoagland, said, “There should be no discrimination because of sex or marriage. Married and single women should have equal rights. Family adjustments are their own to make, with due consideration for the rights of children and should be made within the home, not in the business world.” Mrs. Marie Bowen, former president of the Woman’s Rotary Club, believes sex discrimination to be a holdover from pre-war days when a woman in business was unheard of. that it signifies lack of progress in the minds and methods of the men who practice it. In teaching, single women are given preference, and according to recent rulings, married women no longer will be employed, although due to the teacher’s tenure law, those holding licenses will be retained. A few of the women approached on the subject thought discrimination against married women wise—in the event that the husband was ■receiving a living wage.
