Bitter wage battle endangers pin money stenographers
A Chicago debate pits professional stenographers who depend on actual living wages against pin money workers who seek lighter, cheaper labor. Details from Miss Hanson of the National Association of Women Stenographers show 40 percent of hired girls do not rely on stenography for livelihood, with wages slashed up to 50 percent as firms hire cheaper staff. Instances include a professional returning to lower-paid downtown work after marriage and a daughter in modest circumstances taking a cheap post for pocket money, highlighting the ongoing struggle of women workers amid wage fluctuations.
