WOMEN NO LONGER SLAVES.
SEOUL, Korea, May 13.—Korean
ivomen are no longer slaves oi their
husbands as in former days, but are
ready to assert their rights. Many of
them, no longer depend on their hus
bands for support as of old, but try to
obtain their own living by engaging in
various branches of industry. Some of
the younger women have gone to Jap
an of late to work in factories, and
whenever invitations are issued by #
factories in large cities such as Seoul
and Pyongyang for girls or women,
die applications invariably exceed the
lumber required. There is no doubt
:hat this is largely due to the growing
economic pressure felt by the Korean
people but it is also partly due to the
sense of independence that their wom
?n-folk now entertain.
