Girl Famine in Lynn Shoe Factories Strikes Panic
Lynn Sept 26 A shortage of female workers plagues the Lynn shoe trade as 6000 girls are needed and wages rise. Secretaries say stitching room help is scarce though demand is high. Factories offer 55 hour weeks, pay beginners about 3 a week, top vampers 16 to 18 weekly, with foreladies earning more. Local theories blame marriages, New York society criticism, GE plant hiring, or shifts to teaching. The sign "Girl wanted" dominates the district.
