WOMEN’S COLLEGES PRESENT
AT INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE

Protection’ of Working Women and
Abolition of Child Labor Planned

——-

(Specially contributed by
Dr. Susan M. Kingsbury, Professor of
Social Economy and Social Research)

Five years hence the conference held last
week in Washington will be generally rated
_ as an epoch-making event. Today it if so
recognized by those who have watched for
the dawning of social conscience. And to
those women who have striven during the

past quarter century “for at least decent.

working conditions for women in industry,
this event must promise-victory. For there
assembled more than 350 delegates .repre-
_ senting sixty-seyen_national- organizations,
from forty-two States, .to consider the
eight-hour, day, home work, and minimum
wage laws for .women, health standards
for and maternity care of working women,
and child labor legislation.

The resolutions adopted were very gen-
eral, setting forth ideals of justice and
standards permitting the fulness of life.
But much may be expected of: the influence
to be-—carriedback to enlarge—legislative
protection and enforcement. The deter-
mination to secure Child Labor regulation
and curtailment was grim. That the Fed-
eral amendment, enabling Congress to re-
strict and control Child Labor, may be
passed by Congress before March and car-
ried through enough legislatures this sum-
mer to become effective seems probable..

Throughout the conference was one very
sad note,—that one of the figures most
largely responsible for. the spirit’ which
could create this conference should have
been suddenly snatched away. Florence
Sims, who died last week, had been, for
many years at the head of the Industrial
Division of the Young Women’s Christian
Association. Her vision throughout these
years, like that of Mrs. Raymond Robins,
has never been dimmed. * She often. felt
that the movement was so slow as to be
backward—but. she never hesitated, and
this Congress bore gestimony to and regis-



tered, recognition of her signal devotion
and her surpassing wisdom.
giving his college course, and to’ prepare
himself for progressive. work later ..by
thinking and reading about the society he
belongs to, and cultivating, above all, an
open mind.

Professor Kingsbury "attended the con-
ference as the representative. of her de-
partment, Miss Smith, former-dean of the
College, attended: for Bryn Mawr College
and. Mrs. Chadwick-Collins, head of the
Publicity Department, represented the Bryn
Mawr Alumnae Association.

As for the poetry it can be said that the
metre is perfect, the rhyme scheme impec-
cable, but. here praise must pause. . The
over-weighted atmosphere of college miust

fire which no man but a poet has, and with
which a man must be a-poet. As metrical

~ At first the program promised- to be
monotonous; the speakers unexciting. The
subjects to be considered were too familiar,

the speakers too frequently heard. Ex-
actly. But the conference proved tobe
what« Miss Mary Anderson, Chief of the
Women’s Bureau, had foreseen—simply a

j statement of program upon which to: con-
, centrate. The speakers were the highest
..and best authority on each topic and there-
fore commanded attention and respect. It
was—discitssion for which Miss Anderson,
hoped and she got it. Not controversial
but committal. In one or two instances
there were startling contributions—as when
Dr. Spaeth of Johns Hopkins swept away
the old thtories that women need more
health protection in industry than men
(except as to maternity), although his con-
tentions will certainly be challenged, and
when Mrs. Florence Kelley characterized
all efforts for regulation, limitation and
prohibition of industrial homework so far
