Urges Equality For Women In Industry
A plea to organized women to stop worrying about petty intra-club problems ‘and to fight for their equality in industry with men was made this morning by Mrs. Helen Robbins Bittermann of Columbus, 0O., to members of the Seventh District Federation of Clubs. Mrs. F. A. Symmes presided at the meeting held at L. S. Ayres & Co. “Women make up a minority group,” Mrs. Bittermann reminded club delegates, “and will suffer along with racial minorities from the intolerance that comes with war times and was heightened by election quarrels, unless they demand tolerance with the power they have in organized federations.” Mrs. Bittermann outlined the Iristory of labor legislation affecting women, pointing out that Federal laws passed recently concerning men’s working hours nullified the earlier attitude that women alone could be protected in industrial occupations. “We must see that women are paid the same as men in better jobs, rather than kept from these jobs altogether,” she said. “The time is coming when women will be pushed into factory jobs as men go to war, then pushed back again into their homes when the men return, unless we fight for a stable place for women in industry,” Mrs. Bittermann concluded. Mrs. Florence Thacker introduced Mrs. Bittermann and five other speakers, closing the program with a history of women’s advances in the last 100 years. Mrs. Izona Shirley, rsonnel director of the National alleable and Steel Castings Co., gave concrete examples of women in industrial jobs who were better able to help their families than at home. Other phases of “Women in Employment,” subject of the morning, were discussed by Mrs. Ida S. Broo, only woman certified public accountant in the state to maintain her own office; Miss Sally Butler, attorney with the U. S. Post Office here; Mrs. Cecil Chittenden of WIRE, and Miss Eunice Johnson of the L. S. Ayres & Co. personnel office.
