Will they stay in in dustry, or will they return to their homes? The Women's Bureau of the Department of Labor is seeking answers to these questions in a se ries of surveys now being conduct ed on women in industry. The labor bureau found, for in stance, that 80 per cent of the 71,000 women employed in the Dayton Springfield area of Ohio want their jobs or other jobs after the war. So when 12 million servicemen and women come home, all seeking jobs, and when men are thrown out of work due to cutbacks and other re conversion upsets, will these wom en, many of whom are now union members, be able to hold these jobs? There are today five million more women employed than there were in 1940, but census records show that with slight variations, the number of women in labor forces has increased decade by decade. And the bureau of the census states that 1,500,000 of the women who entered the labor market during the war would have done so had there been no war, while about 3V4 million became workers because of war conditions. It then seems that at least these 3Vi million women will have to fight to maintain their jobs if they want WNU W sshington BUIua #21 Union Trust Building. Women and War Work fOUNTY seats and other rural ^ towns and communities can number into the thousands the wom en and girls who are commuting or have moved to larger cities to take up war work of one kind or another and Join'the labor force of 18 mil lion women now employed in the country. As one of many examples, a huge radio plant at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, employing thousands of workers is "manned" almost exclusively by women recruited from the small towns and rural districts in the counties surrounding Cedar Rapids. What will happen to these worn to remain in employment. Nine Out of Ten In the trade and service industries at least nine out of ten women in dicate they want to retain their jobs when the war ends. This is in com parison with three out of four In the manufacturing industries. As a result of this tremendous surge of American women into all fields of employment, there is now underway among these workers a drive for pay rates based on the job, and not on sex of the worker. For instance the National Industrial Confer ence board asserts that in 25 selected industries, men's aver age hourly earnings in an occu pations are 541 per cent higher than those of women and that in unskiUed occupations men's average hourly earnings topped those of women by 2# per cent. Significant progress, however, is being made by labor organizations to make the equal-pay principle for men and women doing the same jobs effective. In 60 union con tracts covering 75,000 women work ers, one-half were found by a sur vey to have provided equal pay in the contract, although this is not in itself sufficient to prevent discrimi nation entirely. Equal Rightt Propoted In addition to this drive for equal pay for men and women workers there is now in the congress a pro posed amendment to the Constitu tion which seeks to secure equal rights for women, whatever that . means. Both the Democratic and I Republican political platforms are i on record in favor of such an amend ment and the house judiciary com mittee has approved the proposal. The suggested amendment pro- ' claims that "equality of rights tin der the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." There is no denying the fact that in some states women are subject to legal discriminations that should be abolished, but those who have stud ied this proposal believe that its pas sage or adoption would eliminate all the protective and preferential laws which have been enacted in behalf of women. These include limited working hours for women, prefer- ' ential health and medical laws, sup port for the wife and many other laws enacted for the particular pro tection and benefit of women. Opponents assert that only time, education and changing public opin ion can assure women a fair deal in the competitive labor field, where 18 million of them are now em ployed. If such a constitutional amendment were adopted, the con tention is that not only would all state and federal laws that give spe cial protection to women be wiped out, but it would be impossible to provide future protection without ex tending a like protection to men, who may not want it.
