Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Condition of Woman and Child Wage-Earners in the United States, Vol. 9 of 19: History of Women in Industry in the United States The history of women in industry in the United States is the story of a great industrial readjustment, which has not only carried woman's work from the home to the factory, but has changed its economic character from unpaid production for home consumption to gainful employment in the manufacture of articles for sale. Women have always worked, and their work has probably always been quite as important a factor in the total economy of society as it is to-day. But during the nineteenth century a transformation occurred in their economic position and in the character and conditions of their work. Their unpaid services have been transformed into paid serv ices, their work has been removed from the home to the factory and workshop, their range of possible employment has been increased and at the same time their monopoly of their traditional occupations has been destroyed. The individuality of their work has been lost in a standardized product. The story of woman's work in gainful employments is a story of constant changes or shiftings of work and workshop, accompanied by long hours, low wages, insanitary conditions, overwork, and the want on the part of the woman of training, skill, and vital interest in her work. It is a story of monotonous machine labor, of division and subdivision of tasks until the woman, like the traditional tailor who is called the ninth part of a man, is merely a fraction, and that rarely as much even as a tenth part, of an artisan. It is a story, moreover, of underbidding, of strike breaking, of the lowering of standards for men breadwinners.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Condition of Woman and Child Wage-Earners in the United States, Vol. 12 of 19: Employment of Women in Laundries For the purpose of studying the working conditions of women and girls employed in laundries and the effect Of the work and the condi tions surrounding it upon the health of the employees, an investiga tion was made of the laundries in Chicago, New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and in Rockford, III. A large number Of representa tive laundries were visited, and a considerable number of the women employed were interviewed by a physician. There are in these cities approximately American and Chinese laundries. The latter are largely hand laundries. Of the American laundries, about one-sixth are motor laundries and the rest hand laundries. In Chicago the motor laundries largely outnumber the hand laundries, but in the other cities included in the investiga tion the reverse is true. A study Of the organization and Operation of steam laundries em ploying a considerable force of women requires attention to three important considerations: General conditions of the workrooms in the laundries, the hours of labor, and the effect of the employment on the women employees. Recent improvements in laundry machinery have considerably lightened the work in certain occupations where formerly manual labor was almost exclusively employed. The advances which have been made enable laundry managers to make a more even distribution of their hours of labor and to follow more closely a definite schedule. By increasing their capital and equipping their plants with the most modern devices some of the laundries have abolished much Of the irregularity in hours Of labor, which has been characteristic Of laun dry work. But the old method Of Operation has persisted in many Of the smaller laundries, though recent competition as well as pressure from the employees has wrought changes which have placed the small laundry upon a better plane Of work. In the investigation of the working and health conditions of women and girls employed in laundries a general survey Of the industry and its occupations was found necessary. For this pur pose 315 laundries were visited in Chicago, New York, Brooklyn, and Philadelphia. These laundries employed a total of persons.

Download or read book The Fragile Bridge written by Steve Golin and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this full-length study of the 1913 Paterson silk strike, Steve Golin examines the creative collaboration between the silk workers, organizers from the Industrial Workers of the World, and Greenwich Village intellectuals. Although the strike was defeated, this alliance could become a model for the American left because it suggests the possibilities of connecting economic, political, and cultural struggles.Combining perspectives from labor history, social history, and intellectual history Golin argues that while the silk workers began the 1913 strike and controlled it themselves, the IWW helped them create institutions that supported the strike and reinforced its radically democratic character. The deadlock in Paterson dictated the need for a "bridge" to New York that was facilitated by a growing mutual trust between the Wobblies and intellectuals from Greenwich Village. At the height of the struggle, the IWW and the Village radicals joined the workers in presenting a powerful strike pageant in Madison Square Garden.The story of the 1913 silk strike is important because it challenges long-held conservative assumptions about labor history, including the elitist role of skilled workers, the bureaucratic function of union organization, and the irrelevance of intellectuals. Although the strikers were ultimately defeated, the strike's failure had more damaging consequences for the IWW and the intellectuals than for the workers themselves and Golin views this loss as a major turning point for the American left. Author note: Steve Golin is Professor of History at Bloomfield College in New Jersey.
