Women, having only themselves to support, are willing to accept a much lower wage than men. Therefore, when they enter industries in competition with men, Lower the latter are frequently forced out altogether. wa i es - For example, men formerly rolled cigars for a wage sufficient to support themselves and their families. Now the same labor is performed by girls at a much lower rate. The most potent cause of woman's entering in- dustry, however, is found in her loss of home employ- ment. Former...ly, women had so much to do at Loss , home that their time was fully occupied. Spin- home em- ning, weaving, the manufacture of clothing, and ° ymen ' the preparation of foodstuffs, all engaged their attention. But the seat of these operations has now been removed to the factory. Comparatively little sewing is now done in the home, and the cooking is decreasing rapidly. Cleaning is the only part of " woman's sphere " left her ; it is small wonder, then, that she goes to the factory to escape this drudgery.
