ABSTRACT
Working women are ready for equality. It is the welfare Worker who holds up to them the inferiority complex. Those who subscribe to the program of absolute equality between the sexes could derive small comfort from the national industrial conference recently held by the Women’s Bureau of the United States Department of Labor. Of the 360 delegates from 41 States representing all national women’s organizations with the exception of the Woman’s Party, only a handful were ready to support the program of industrial equality for men and women. The Woman’s Party takes the position that industrial legislation for women is discrimination against them in the field of Industry. The Woman’s Party, as a result of a recent questionnaire, is rapidly proving, to its own satisfaction at least, that working women do not want protective legislation. By legislation an effort is being made to bring women up to the point where industrial equality with men is more nearly possible.
