WORKING GIRLS
REVOLT AGAINST
PETS OF SOCIETY
Female Workers Organize
'Blacklegs' Union' to Prevent
Employers Giving Jobs to
Those Who Don't Need.
By Universal ScftIcc.
. London, April 22. A "Blacklegs'
union," formed from the rank of
working girls and women, to forc
ibly prevent employers from em
ploying society girls who do not
Jiave to work for a living, is advo
cated by representatives of female
workers.
They declare that it is not fair
for the society girls, brilliantly
equipped by .birth and breeding,
financially and socially secure
against all the slings and arrows
of outrageous fate, to enter the lists
against the working girl. .
Neither do they consider it right
for them to accent lucrative inh
that many a working girl with only
her own efforts standing between
her and poverty would go down on
lirr knees to procure. i
"I hold that it isn't fair," says '
louis uwigers, well-known British
author. ' It is black-legging in the
worst sense for these favorites of
fortune, in want of a little extra
pocket money, "a little fresh excite
ment, to take the working girl's
brend out of the working girl's
mouth."
For everv one of these snrietv
black-legs of May fair ho is en
gaged by some astute manager or
employer to star in some capacity
either in screen work, the legitimate
stage-journalism, dressmaking, mil
linery or hotel management-s-some
other less fortunate girFhas to go
without a job. ,
The latest society queen to draw
the crticism of the business women
is Lady Diana Manners Duff-Cooper
who has just accepted the editorship
of a noted women's paper. She is
also appearing in British film.
The butterflies of fashion and so
ciety are growing more and more
features of professional life and the
working women are hccominar more
and more perturbed. , Their fears
are influenced bv the fact that their
chances of marriage are necessarily
more remote today than ever, while
competition for lucrative work
grows hotter every day.
Great indignation meetings were
held in almost every woman's club
in London recently as a result of the
appointment of a well-known woman
to an important position.

New Laws Necessary
To Further Lifting of
Immigration Rules
Washington, April 22. Further
luspcnsiou of immigration barriers
to increase the number of laborers
in this country would be unjusti
fied without express legislation by
congress, Secretary Wilson, of the
Labor department, said in a letter
to Representative Siegel, republican,
New York, who had asked for an
order -permitting unrestricted admis
sion of household servants.
Under existing regulations, the
secretary explained, Mexican and
Canadian agricultural laborers may
: be brought into the country for the
harvest of this year's beet sugar
crop, without observance of the il
literacy, head tax and contract labor
provisions of the immigration law,
t, he said, any extension should
c by act of congress.

To Increase Production

annual convention here.
In a report to 'he association he
said a survey of a large number of
plants last year had convinced him
' increased producticn arid continuity
of service of employes depended
upon use of proper educational
methods by which workmen could
qualify for better positions.
