Industry to Bar Women, Is Forecast ‘Back-to-Home’ Movement on Way, Declares Economist. BY GRETTA PALMER Ilmi Special Writer NEW YORK, March 29.—A. W. Zelornek, economist, is simply •• king lor trouble. Sneaking before the Sisterhood of Temple Israel of New Rochelle, he expressed the belief that ‘the peak of American women entering industry has been reached and there-

fore women's place in our new economic system will be mcreasi ngly in the home. "Women entered industry during the age of machinery, displacing men,” the intrepid speaker went on to say, “because they could be hired more cheaply. Fundamentally, with the exception of a few occupa-

tions, they have b"en unable to compete with men on an equal basis, for the specialization of the sexes places women at a disadvantage. “With the federal government scaling up minimum wages women w ill lose their advantage, and workers of superior stamina and regularity will be preferred. Conditions which have made jobs scarce in the last few years will operate even more to the disadvantage of women. “As the opportunities for women tn our industrial system lessen the home will again become their major interest. The shorter working week will restore to the home much of its impaired dignity. ‘ Women will have more companionship in their leisure. There will be an increasing interest in outdoor life and a migration from the congested and expensive city apartments to the suburbs.” Mr. Zelomek is not only going to send us back to the home; he is going to bundle us back to the soil. Perhaps the economist’s gloomy predictions will come true. Perhaps we shall be pushed out of industry as soon as it is possible to replace a woman worker bv a man at no inriease in cost. And if we are we deserve to be. Equal Terms Essential The most ardent and belligerent feminist can not urge that women have a right to supplant men unless they are at least as efficient. •’Women and children first” may be a proper slogan for sinking ships, but it has no place in the world of business and industry. If women can not compete on equal terms with men. then they do not deserve their jobs, and they would do much better to admit the fact and scamper back to the work of continuing the race on which they have a firm monopoly. But the entire feminist movement has been founded on the hypothesis that womein are as efficient as men —that all they have needed was a chance to prove their competence. Problem of Prejudice The fight has been for the removal of sex prejudice. If. after it is won, it is discovered that women can be replaced by men who do the work better than they, why, then, consistency demands that the w'omen surrender their jobs without whining. To demand that a woman be given work simply because she is a woman is as unjust and absurd as to demand that she be denied work for the same irrelevant reason. But there are some of us who believe in women's ability to be measured by the same standards as men and still hold their own. There are some of us who believe that the best woman lawyer or doctor or factory worker is a great deal better than the worst man employed in those activities and that she has every right to hold her job instead of him on the grounds of efficiency alone. The “advantage” of being cheap labor is one which the woman worker will be delighted to give up. Even if it means lasing her job. as Mr. Zelomek predicts, she will not regret having demanded a showdown.

A Woman’s Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

"\]U"OMEN must not expect to ’ " be taken seriously in any of their pursuits when so many of them still trade upon sex allure to gain their ends.” Along with this ultimatum, a Brooklyn man sends a series of semi-nude photographs of church girls, heiresses at Palm Beach and other undressed ladies to prove his point. He has been looking over the pictorial magazines too assiduously, I fear. A short stroll along the neighboring streets might relieve his mind. It would show him a large number of women whom life had deprived of all sex allure and a good many others who began existence without any to speak of. In reality, there’s no more sense to his contention than there would be to the statement that because penitentiaries are full of bad men there are no good ones at large. Unhappily we have in our midst, still, a sizable crowd of gentlemen who want to burden women with more than their share of moral responsibility. They usually lack both a sense of justice and a sense of humor. So far as I can see. there is quite as much justification for a shapely girl to get her living showing her figure before the footlights as there is for Primo Carnera to make a fortune in the prize ring. One strips for the dance, the other for the fight. Both use their sex lure, only in the one it is strength, in the other it is beauty. If we are to think it a sin to exhibit bare legs in a chorus,

what then must we call the behavior of men who make their money from that kind of a show, or the eagerness of a male audience that pays cash to look at them? The lust is always in the eye of the beholder. Men who are troubled by nudism in public prints and upon the stage should consult a physician. Never by any chance should they indulge in tirades against women. That dates them more certainly than a heavy gold wedding ring dates grandma. TWO WILL ADDRESS W. C. T. U.
