Wage-Earning Women
By ANNIE MARION MACLEAN
Professor of Sociology in Adelphi College.
_Cloth, leather back, 12mo, $1.25 net; by mail $1.35_
"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._

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.
The author is not only a lawyer of large experience in Chicago, but has

many investigations of conditions among various trades, and in reference
to the circumstances of the poorer classes.
