Some Ethical Gains through Legislation
By FLORENCE KELLEY, Secretary of the National Consumers’
League
This interesting volume has grown out
of the author’s experience in philanthropic
work in Chicago and New York, and her service
for the State of Illinois and for the Federal Government
in investigating the circumstances of the poorer classes,
and conditions in various trades.
     The value of the work
lies in information gathered at close

     range in a long association
with, and effort to improve the

     condition of, the very
poor.

Wage-Earning Women
By ANNIE MARION MACLEAN, Professor of Sociology in
Adelphi College
“This book needed to be written. 
Society has to be reminded that the prime function
of women must ever be the perpetuation of the
race.  It can be so reminded only by a startling
presentation of the woman who is ‘speeded
up’ on a machine, the woman who breaks
records in packing prunes or picking hops, the woman
who outdoes all others in vamping shoes or spooling
cotton....  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
cooeperation between existing organizations for
industrial betterment.”—­Boston
