Mrs Norman Campbell (

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.—Pre
pared to relinquish their positions
when America’s soldiers return to
claim their proper place in the
country’s industrial life, the women
of New Mexico are sturdily per
forming the work of men in several
lines of endeavor.
Notable among these occupations
are the running of street cars and
the performing of railway shop
work.
The conductors of Albuquerque
already have become fixtures, al
though they have been on duty
barely two months. No matter how
cold the morning, they are prompt
in reporting for duty. There have
been no accidents due to their care
lessness. During a recent rainy
spell, only one of the five derail
ments that occurred were suffered
by cars in charge of w >men con
ductors, despite the fact that there
are many more women at work on
the cars than there are men.
“Our women conductors are just
as good as the men, and they are
paid on the same basis.” was Ihe
comment of the president of the
traction company the other day. j
The Santa Fe railway system is]
employing women in ligY.sr* shop
work. Five are now busy in the
local shops—two in the tool room,
two on tipple-vale work, and one
on a light machine. Their formen
report them as being thoroughly
satisfactory.
/arming has attracted a number
of New Mexico women. The wo
man’s land army has rendered val
uable service in harvesting the
state’s war crops.
“Will they keep on the job after]
the boys come home?” was the]
question asked of an employer of;
women engaged in men’s work.
“In most cases, yes,” was the
reply, which proved to be typical. 1
“Mose of these women are working
here solely because of war condi-:
tions: because their husbands,
brothers or even fathers have been j
called. When the men folks re
turn, the necessity for their work
ing will cease, and the positions
will automatically revert to the
former incumbents. In case of any i
conflict, however, the returned sol
diers will be given the preference.”!
