“The chapters give glimpses of women wage-earners as they toil in different parts of the country. The author visited the shoeshops, and the paper, cotton, and woollen mills of New England, the department stores of Chicago, the garment-makers’ homes in New York, the silk mills and potteries of New Jersey, the fruit farms of California, the coal fields of Pennsylvania, and the hop industries of Oregon. The author calls for legislation regardless of constitutional quibble, for a shorter work-day, a higher wage, the establishment of residential clubs, the closer coöperation between existing organizations for industrial betterment.”—Boston Advertiser.
Making Both Ends Meet: The Income and Outlay of New York Working Girls
By SUE AINSLIE CLARK AND EDITH WYATT
Illustrated, cloth, gilt top, 12mo, 270 pp., $1.50 net; by mail, $1.60
“Gives a vivid picture of the way the ‘other half’ lives, the half that is ground down by overwork, lack of home comfort and of recreation. So powerful are the facts presented that the very simplicity of their narration rouses the reader to the desperate need of safeguarding the girl workers in our cities against exhausting mental and physical demands.”—Continent.
“The point of view of the book is constructive throughout, and it is safe to say that it will be for a long time, both for the practical worker and for the scientific student, the authoritative work in this field.”—Detroit News.
“It is a recital of facts that makes one’s heart and soul shrink up and grow small for pity and helplessness to help.”—Lexington Herald.
