Menace to
Men’s Wages
In Foundries
By ELIZABETH O. EVANS. Boston
IN' THE outcry against the employment of women aa core-
T I makers in foundries, the most important aspect of the ques-
“ ■ tion is escaping attention. The alleged unsuitability of the
work to a woman’s dignity and strength is made prominent;
the rate of her pay is denounced; but the effect of her compe
tition upon tho standard of wages in the trade, which is really
the crux of tho whole difficulty, is too little mentioned.
In and by itself, core making, which means fashioning
the mold for castings, is well suited to a woman’s deft fingers,
provided she is employed only on the smaller forms and pro
vided her work is properly supplemented by that of men to do the heavy
lifting and carrying. Indeed, the occupation is a particularly attractive
one from the creative element which it involves.
In the foundry which I investigated the interest which the women
appeared to take in their work was noticeable and in striking contrast to
anything I have seen in other factories, while the only things I observed
which could be legitimately criticised were a lack of seats (which, I am
told, are supplied in some establishments), and a tube or pipe in common
use which the women put into their mouths in spraying the material they
ana shaping.
As to wages, judging from this one foundry, they are far better4han
those prevailing in some of the typically feminine callings. Hence, from
the point of view of the women as individuals, coremaking would seem
to be by no means an undesirable occupation.
Nevertheless, the presence of women in foundries is a menace against
which labor is very properly aroused. It is a menace because men with a
standard wage of $3 a day are being displaced by women who do their
work for half the wages or less. And men whose wages are threatened
not unnaturally regard this feminine invasion with indignation and even
abhorrence.
But is this menace best met by trying to drive women from the trade
and make it that much harder for some otlu r man’s sister or daughter to
earn an honest living? Why not rather help her to get full value for her
producing power?
The competition of women in this industry is a menace because they
can be hired so cheap. And one reason they ran be bought cheap is

Half a dozen times in the last two

one cate the woman thanked the man kind-
By r, IL Mansfield ly, but most of them made haate to avail
themselves of the opportunity without
glance toward the one who offered it,' to
uy nothing of speaking a word of thinks. One well gowned woman, when
offered a scat by a laboring roan whose clothes bespoke his plaaterer’a
trade, merely elevated her chin and gave him a withering glance by way
of acknowledgment and refusal.
Let us be gltd that tuch instances are only exceptions to the nile,
and that the majority of women do appreciate the kindness offered them.
And may tho others realize their part in re-establishing the good
manners for which the elder days were famous.
Caution on Pasturing'Alfalfa.
Alfalfa should ba. pastured with
very great caution. In fact, the
farmer who holds this matchless crop
In proper' regard will posture some
thing else and Just use the alfalfa for
hay. But If the alfalfa Is to bs
pastured shout half enough stock
■hould be kept on It to keep the
growth down. By this method two or
three cutting! of hay will be obtained
In addition to the pasturage.
Another caution to throw out Is that
It should he allowed to make a good
start In the spring before tbs stock
are turned on, and should ba allowed
to go In the winter with a .good cover.
Under no conditions should It be
pastured In cold wsather.

The American people are prone to
waste. It la a truism that a family on the
continent of Europe will live upon what
the average American family will throw
away.
Even in email thing* this Yankee dis
position to prodigality if manifest. For in
stance, the Germans, in their correspon
dence, use extremely thin envelopes, which
proves their habit of saving in minor mat

The German double envelope is not
more than half at heavy as the American
envelope of equal size. The thinneaa of
the paper, of course, cuts down the cost of pottage, and yet the envelope
it clever and attractive, and docs its work just as well at the bulky ones
in use in this country.
It would seem that to good an idea would be copied on this aide of
tho Atlantic, but so far no demand has been obeerved or else the American
envelope makers would have buaied themselves to duplicate the foreign
