Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Food of Working Women in Boston: An Investigation by the Department of Research, Women's Educational and Industrial Union, Boston No argument is needed to prove the fundamental importance of the topics about which we have sought information. It is obvious that labor power is directly dependent on nutrition, and that the chief factor entering into the minimum wage, which society may en force on the employer, is the cost Of food. The increase in the num ber of women who are working outside the home demands careful attention to problems connected with the maintenance of their vitality in order that industry may not draw too heavily on those reserves of energy necessary for racial continuance and development. The economic world deals with these working women as individual units, hence it seems suitable to use this unit in studying their standards of living. The family has usually been the unit in previous investigations. While the minimum wage commissions have reported on the cost of living of women in different localities, their reports have not segregated the cost of food from expenditures for lodging, clothing and other items. It seems probable that the large cities of the United States afford the best opportunities for this study Of the living conditions of individual working women because the unusual independence of American women, which has been fostered by social conditions promoting their safety, has increased their tendency to live outside of family groups.

This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Trade Unionism Among Women in Boston But this does not help the two million women who are in industry today. Their time for serving apprenticeships has long gone by, trade schools are not for them, and the widening of the field of employment must come too slowly ever to make their looking for jobs any easier. For these women, organization is the only way out. It may not Offer the final solution, but it is the only immediately practicable one. Granted the unskilled workman and the over-supply of unskilled labor, much can be done through a system of collective bargaining in the way of a fair presentation of the case to the employer that the individual workman could not hope to achieve, and within such limits as improvement is possible organization can bring it. An organization means much too for women because it gives them the business experience of which they stand often in such bit ter need, and which through the ages they have been de nied, and if properly managed, it should awaken a class interest, a desire to improve what is wrong, not only for themselves, but for those who come after them.

Download or read book The Living Wage of Women Workers written by Louise Marion Bosworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Living Wage of Women Workers: A Study of Incomes and Expenditures of 450 Women in the City of Boston The question of the living wage for the woman worker is hardly touched at all in the existing literature of work and wages. There are numerous studies of women's work, but they do not deal with the living wage; there are also various treatises on the latter subject, but they do not discuss it with reference to women workers. The need of definite information on the cost of living for the wage-earning woman is a real one. A few years ago a group of working women, in making a demand upon their employer for higher wages, declared, We cannot live on what we earn. The employer inquired, Then what wages can you live on? No one of the women could answer the question definitely or in any other way than by an estimate of her own individual needs. In general, the employer who wishes to pay a living wage to his women employes cannot tell what the amount should be. The determination of standards of expenditure and remuneration for women is thus a matter not merely of academic interest, but really of practical importance.

This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Vindication of the Character and Condition of the Females Employed in the Lowell Mills, Against the Charges Contained in the Boston Times, and the Boston Quarterly Review There is one other important fact, which should be stated here. It is this. Dividing these girls into two classes, - into those who have been at work for a period of time short of the average, and into those who have been at work for a period of time above the average, it is found that the results, in regard to health, are fully as favorable for the latter as for the former. In other words, those who have been longest in the mills are found to be in as good health as those who have recently come from the country. SO much for the monstrous assertion of the Review, that these poor girls, after an average working life of three years, worn out in health, spirits, and morals, and with impaired reputations, when they can toil no longer, go home to die!

Download or read book The Millinery Trade in Boston and Philadelphia written by Lorinda Perry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Millinery Trade, in Boston and Philadelphia: A Study of Women in Industry As the increasing use of machinery in production gradually made possible the substitution of the unskilled labor of women for the more skilled labor of men, emphasis was changed from the usefulness of manufactures in affording employment for 'otherwise idle persons' to the supposed competition of women with men and to the evil effects of such rivalry upon the wages, hours and general condition of men's labor. This point of view characterized much of the trade-union arguments in the United States during the thirties and forties. The report of the com mittee on female labor of the National Trades' Union conven tion of 1836 contains the following: These evils themselves (of the effect of female labor on the health and morals of the workers) are great, and call loudly for a speedy cure; but still another objection to the' system arises, which, if possible, is productive of the other evils, namely, the ruinous competition brought in active opposition to male labor, actually producing a reversion of the very good intended to do the guardian or parent, causing the destruction of the end which it aims to benefit; because, when the employer finds, as he surely will, that female assistance will compress his ends, of course the work man is discharged, or reduced to a corresponding rate of wages with the female operative. 1 Thus the question of women's labor was treated as subsidiary to the greater and more impor tant one of men's labor.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Making Both Ends Meet: The Income and Outlay of New York Working Girls This book is composed of the economic records of self-supporting women living away from home in New York. Their chronicles were given to the National Consumers' League simply as a testimony to truth; and it is simply as a testimony to truth that these narratives are reprinted here. The League's inquiry was initiated because, three years ago in the study of the establishment of a minimum wage, only very little information was obtainable as to the relation between the income and the outlay of self-supporting women workers. The inquiry was conducted for a year and a half by Mrs. Sue Ainslie Clark, who obtained the workers' budgets as they were available from young women interviewed in their rooms, boarding places, and hotels, and at night schools and clubs. After Mrs. Clark had collected and written these accounts, I supplemented them further in the same manner; and rearranged them in a series of articles for Mr. S. S. McClure.

Download or read book The Story of the Irish in Boston written by James Bernard Cullen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Irish in Boston: Together With Biographical Sketches of Representative Men and Noted Women HE purpose of this work is to give an account of the settlement, progress, and development of the Irish and their descendants in Boston, from the earliest times. The propriety, expediency, and necessity of presenting the subject was conceived by the author ten years ago, while engaged in preparing an article for the Boston Pilot, relating to the Irishmen of Boston. The work then seemed to be impracticable, by reason of the complex character of unpublished historical data, the long period of time that would be required to unravel the skein and weave the story together. Within a few years the labor of examining various histories and collecting manuscripts of invaluable interest and worth was commenced. The researches in this direction revealed many sur prising events in the colonial, as well as in the more recent history of Boston, wherein Irishmen were active participants; and, strange to say, where the importance of their achievements is mentioned at all, or they themselves are written about, the most meagre information is given. By careful study and. Recourse to comparative references many facts, hitherto generally unknown, were brought to light.
