Women May Work in Army Depots
Miss Mary Van Kleeck of the Russell Sage Foundation outlines a bulletin on deploying women in U S Army depots. Her study covers ordnance, quartermaster, and medical department depots in Boston Springfield Mass New York Philadelphia Norfolk Jeffersonville and Atlanta. She notes women already serve as clerks stenographers and telephone operators and have begun inspecting goods and packing. The report warns labor heaviness for women and suggests assigning lighter duties while men handle heavier tasks, with England already utilizing women across storage processes. Success hinges on supervised trials and female oversight in each depot.
