This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 220 pages. 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.

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! Out upon such abominable trumpery! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Industrial Home Work in Massachusetts Women written by Amy Hewes and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Home Work in Massachusetts Women: By the Department of Research Women's Educational and Industrial Union Boston; Prepared Under the Joint Direction of the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics Is industrial home work a survival of the domestic system of production? Is it a return to the domestic system whereby the tendency of production to escape from the home may be checked and women may evade economic parasitism with its resultant social, economic and moral slavery? Or is it a phase of modern industrialism bearing an intimate relation to every feature and problem of modern production? The first intimation of the widespread custom of so-called home work came to the Department of Research in 1910-1911, while pursuing a study of the manufacture of machine-made clothing. At that time our social experts confidently asserted that there were in Massachusetts no sweated industries. And indeed the sentiment prevailed that whatever of home work existed was either a very small, well-regulated system, applicable only to wearing apparel, or was a survival of the domestic system of production, and appeared in the form of products sold through women's exchanges or directly to the consumer. Now, there is without doubt a group of workers, we do not know how large or how important, who carry over the eighteenth century custom of production in the home. These appear as "home milliners," "home dressmakers," "home bakers" and laundresses, who employ less than five workers and do not therefore form "shops," according to Massachusetts law. But the workers who had commanded our attention and aroused our interest formed a far larger and very different group. They did not provide their own materials. They did not produce a completed article. Many of them did not perform a skilled operation. They did not sell to whom and where they wished, but they received from a factory a certain amount of material which they were to fashion into a specified form and send back to the factory for a specified wage, or they received a partially completed article or part of an article together with material upon which they were to perform a specified process, partially or fully completing its manufacture. None of the handicraft stage with all its inspiration for creation remained. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
