HEW YORK PUTS UP THE BARS Possible Effect'of the Strike la Job (Iffleea In Welcomlasr th Field tor Wsmes-Wkat Chi cago Plaaa. Recent printers' strikes in Chicago Job otftes have suggested to women that an other occupation Is open to them machine typesetting. In the course of these tulkes it was stated that twenty-five girls were acting as strike breakers, and that the Chicago Typothetae, an organisation of employers, had opened a school for type setters which had women pupils. When the school was opened seven firms belonging to the Typothetae sent young women In their employ, mostly typewriters and stenographers, to learn machine type setting, continuing meanwhile to pay them their regular wages. These women ac quitted themselves well so well that the Typothetae advertised for 100 women type setters to go to work In the big printing shops, and one employer declared that he would not dream of replacing his women machine typesetters' with men. unless com pelled to do so by unforeseen circumstances. The discovery was rrtade that proficient typewriters show a dexterity in the use of a typesetting machine which makes them the equal, at least, of the beat men operators. It was also found that women, under proper Instruction, may become suf ficiently familiar with the mechanism of a typesetting machine to keep It in good running order. Further arguments In favor of women machine typeaettera are that they will not belong to unions, or go on striae, or so fn fall, as do B.en, to turn up for work in th. morninar. Nevertheless, In New York far 1 enK '.hualaam is shown In the aubject than the Thlcago Typothetae say they f.-el. Men a ho employ printers and typesetters show not the least disposition to disparage the success of women In this field of industry, or to make invidious comparisons between men and women operators. Soma go so far as to say that they hava met women machine operators who were more pro ficient than some men In the same business. Prtatera Skeptical. But, almost without exception, when asked whether the woman typesetter was likely to multiply after the fashion of the typewriter and stenographer whether hundreds of typewriters, lured by the hope of higher wages, were not likely to join the ranks of the machine typesetter these men look doubtful and shake their beads. They are quite sure a new field of In dustry awaits women In the machine type setter, and they believe It Is not a difficult step from the keyboard of a typewriter to the keyboard of a typesetter, but none is willing to prophesy that the fleld will be invaded to any great extent; tnat there will be a big rush to take the step. 'The majority of women hold back from working In close company with a lot of printers," explained the foreman of a Job printing house In New York. "To handle the question without gloves, it must be admitted that printers have the name, whether deserved or not, of being a rough lot. In some shops women might not run up against a shock to their ears very often, but they would be pretty likely 10.' "Yes, this Is one of the very few job printing offices In Manhattan which employ a woman typesetter, and the Jnly one, so far as I know. In which, the woman typesetter takes from a graphophone the subject matter she sets In type. Typesetting br Graphophone. ' "In this olIU'o we make a specialty of printing law report, insisting largely of testimony taken In court. Instead of the court stenographer typewriting his notes or prepuring a copy of them to give to the printer he talks them Into a graphophone, and afterward our woman machine type setter, with the graphophone adjusted to the proper rate of speed at her ear, listens and sets up the type at the same time. "tsuange to aay. I have not yet run across a printer who showed any liking for this phiise of typesetting. The graphophone bothers the men. They seem to consider It fore tan to their business. But the wu we employ is an Al machine typesetter and she 1 Just as willing to use the grapho phone as to set up written copy. "As undoubtedly before long the grapho phone method of transmitting stenographic notes will be quite common, woman ought to -find a good chance there to make big money. "A good deal more, though. Is required In the machine typesetting business than nimble fingers. I have known women who could turn out type with, the best men in the business, but when It came to a test of power of endurance they dropped away be hind. "In every office there are occasions when a lot of overtime Is demanded ot employes There Is no help for It. On a rush job I am sure that meu machine typesetters would fill the bill better than women. "Typewriting Is no test of a woman's en durance compared with machine typeset ting. On the other hand, to the woman's credit I put a desire to please, faithfulness and more amiability than the average man typesetter shows. "Everyf now and then the best employer or foreman who ever lived loses his temper and Isn't so awfully careful whose feelings get hurt. At such times, although the aver age woman may snlftle a bit and go home In a huff, she generally walks In as serenely the next day as If nothing had happened; whereas a printer will most likely rip out. 'Keep your old Job!' clap on his hat and walk out. Men typesetters are an Inde pendent lot. Sapreaaaey of Mea. "To sum up, my Idea Is this: For mixed work that Is, work which includes machine typesetting and also typesetting which can not be done on a machine a man Is far better than a woman, for the reason that he has generally learned the printer's trade, which alone Is a matter of five years' ap prenticeship or so." There are twenty-nine typesetting ma chines over In the office of the Brooklyn Eagle, five of which are operated by women. With one exception the Eagle seems to be the only paper In Greater New York which employs women to run machine typesetters. That these women are highly satisfactory goes without saying. "Were tbey not," says the manager, "their place would be filled by men. "We have women who turn out from H.Ou) to 40,000 ema a day, a better record than some ot the men make, and when it comes to a question of reliability they are quite as satisfactory as the men typesetters. "When It la a question only of straight, ordinary typesetting women now In the business do as well as men. When tabular work Is to be considered or type arranged to cover three or four columns, men are apt to fill the bill better, for the reason that most men typesetters employed by news papers are practical printers. "There Is no difference In the pay of a man and a woman machine typesetter, who do precisely the same work." The manager of a machine typesetting fchool advanced the opinion that for some time to come the woman machine typeset ter would be more popular In almost any other city In the country than In New York. Said he: Marriage Affects Supply. "At a rough eatlmate there are about ,000 machine typesetters in Greater New York, and of this number only thirty are women. About 10 per cent of the pupils of this school are women. "Where do these pupils go? For the most part to the New England states, where the scale of printers' wages seems to be differ ent from what it Is here. At least I Judge that some of the women receive less pay than the men. "Another thing, a large percentage of the pupils I turn out get married before they have more than begun their work. Last winter six of them came In to tell me of their Impending weddings. This natu rally lessens the supply of women machine typesetters, which Is far from being large, anyway." "Can any woman take up this work with success?" "I believe that an Intelligent woman can learn almost anything she puts ber mind to." answered the manager. "Almost with out exception the pupils I have taught were stenographers and typewriters who had earned the limit cf pay the average stenog rapher gets-15 or 118 and were ambitious to better themselves. "To them fingering a keyboard comes easier than "it would to a novice, and they also bsve a better drilling Id spelling." "Would a refined woman find the machine typesetting business congenial, even tol erable, If her work took her Into the aver age large printing ofilce?" "I don't see why not. At one time print ers were considered rather a shiftless lot. Brought Into close contact with them dally, a refined woman would not enjoy herself. "But things are different now. A better class of men have taken up the work, and In most concerns In these days women are so generally employed that the rough con duct and profane speech of the old days, when men had offices and workshops all to themselves, has been suppressed. "Personally, I have yet to hear of a case where a woman machine typesetter found her surroundings any more unpleasant 'than they would be In the average business office." New York 8un. A WALKER FROM WAYBACK Hrltl.h Pedeatrlaa Covers Over 3.0O0 Miles In J,4MM) Couaecatlve Honrs. A remarkable walking feat has Just been concluded in the grounds of the Ardwick Athletic club at Manchester, England. Wil lie m Buckler, a man of 67 years of age, per formed the amazing task of walking 2,028 miles and 720 yards in LOOO consecutive hours, beating his own former record cf 2.000 miles in 1,000 consecutive hours, made last June at Leeds. Buckler was ' born at Newport. Monmouthshire, on December 17, 1848, and has to his credit the biggest list of long distance tramping records of any man ever born. . He has bad a remarkable career. At the age of 13 he became a cabin boy on a ship, and stuck to the seafaring lifo for twenty six years. His Introduction to athletics began in 1872. when he was matched against "Shonl ETion" Evans for 200 yards; the stake being 20 a side. and. although Evans bad an unbeaten record. Buckler won by seven yard a Buckler knew a thing or two about scrap ping, and la a fierce fight with bare knuck les which lasted an hour and a half be won from "Shonl Poo" Fink. A trip to America took his attention next, and at Three Riv ers, Canada, he was matched In an egg gathering race against KabooVar, a Frenrh Canadian. Buekler won and a little while later defeated an Indian named Crawford In a ten mile race for 1400. At New Orleans In 1S80, Buckler was matched against Mar tin Ryan In a seven day go-as-you-please race at New Orleans for I5O0 a side. Ryan quit after three days, the pace being too hot for him. After that Buckler turned his attention to road walking. He tramped from Newport to Cardiff and covered fifty miles per day. walking twelve hours for six consecutive days. In 1886 he secured second prise In a six-day go-as-you-please race at Birming ham, and In a special match of a week's walk against E. Thomas at Albert hall, v.vmrt Pnckler won. the nrlxe being 100. Soon after he backed himself to walk 600 miles In a week, and he won by covering 504 miles. At Bristol, In 1802, Buckler walked ilea a dav for six consecutive days, the trapping time being restricted to ten and one-half hours. In ISM. at Swansea. Buckler attacked Wil liam Gates' world's record and tramped 4.000 quarter miles In 4,000 consecutive peri ods of nine and one-half minutes. Two years later at Hunslet he Improved on this feat by reducing the walking period to nine and one-quarter minutes, and still later, at Black Bull grounds, Leeds, walked 4,000 quarter miles In periods of nine min utes flat. It wab the most gruelling feat of his career, as he several' times lost his mental balance. But he kept on to the end and as a reward was given a gold medal valued at 20 guineas as a souvenir of hla historic feat. In 1903 at Wigan Buckler failed to cover a mile and a half and fifty yards In l.Oi'u consecutive hours and trlnd the same feat again In July, ISM, another failure being the result. He made a third attempt in Sepleiuber and was successful. A crowd "f nn lurnm rathered to see Buckler the last night. Confident he could make a big Improvement on this record Buckler moved the mark up to 2.W0 miles in 1.000 consecu tive bours last July. With the object of again setting up new figures Buckler be gan his last task on August 1 last and Improved the record to 2,028 miles and 720 yards. Maklag So latldlous rosnparlaoa.
