THE PATTERSON INFLUENCE
MEANING OF THE RECEPTION FOR
THE MANUFACTURER.
AT DAYTON, OHIO, NEXT TUESDAY
Has Reformed Factory Conditions Un-
til His Employees Stay With Him
and Perform Effective Work-lnflu-
enced Changes In Other Factories.
IFrom Saturdays Dnilyl

The plans for Patterson day at Day
ton, o., next Tuesday have attracted
countrywide attention because IL Is
unique and furthermore because Mr.
Patterson Is deserving OF the honor
on that day II Is planned to have the
noted citizen greeted by 10000 women
the entire feminine population OF the
town. He has done much for the
working woman and his reward will
be to see them give this gratituitous
expression of good will. The men Of
the town will give n gorgeous parade
and the women have planned the pres
entation of memorial.
All of this makes the people wonder
what has been Mr.. Patterson's accom-
plishment. He has established a
wholesome influence on the children
OF his factory neighborhood through
his boys gardens. which he estab-
lished and is maintaining He has in
fiuenced the beautfying OF the homes
of Dayton through lectures on land
scape gardening and n practical ex-
ample in the model factory grounds.
His effort in behalf OF women en-
ployes has had wide influence. The
prime cause OF his interest lies in the
fact that about twelve years ago five
women left his employ for no appar-
ent reason. At the same time large
consignment of goods from the fac
tory was returned from England as
defective. The two facts set Mr.. Pat
terson on n line OF thought that has
since resulted in material changes.
That there was connection between
the leaving OF his employees and the
defective work Of the factory was con-
elusive to him and he determined to
make the work attractive and the sur
rounding congenial. He has succeed
ed so we'll that Il Is now said that no
woman employed in the Dayton works
ever leaves except to be married. One
day in passing through the women's
departments Mr.. Patterson saw girl
setting a tin bucket on the radiator
Supposing it was paste to be warmed
he called the foreman and asked him
IL he had no better way than that for
heating the paste. He was informed
that the bucket contained coffee for
the girls lunch. He at once decided
that women or men could not work
without substantial, well prepared
meal at noon, and this was the germ
that induced his noted reform OF fac
tory conditions.
The Norfolk weekly news-journal., 1905-07-14
First Step in Welfare Work.

First of all, in the effort to provide
the women with the hot lunch, gas
stoves were placed in all women de-
partments where the girls could heat
coffee and make other warm dishes.
Then an attic was cleared and a crude
sort Of dining room was established.
Next comfortable dining hall was
fitted ont in one of the main factory
buildings, where each day five hun
dred girls were served a wholesome
and attractive meal each day for the
nominal cost of twenty-five cents
week. This dining hall had been used
until within the last week, when a
new building just erected was set
aside for the use of 1900 men and
women employees as dining hall.
From providing for the gastronomic
welfare Of the women it was only a
step to care for their health in other
directions. It was found that the or
dinary benches upon which women
sat while at work were conducive to
stopped shoulders, cramped lungs and
general fatigue. In their place COM
|
rests, were put in place in the bindery
and other departments where the wo-
men work.
Improves Factory Surroundings.
President Patterson decided that a
working man or woman could accom-
plish more and perform the work bet
ter II working amid comfortable and
beautiful surroundings. Accordingly
the factory buildings have been made
unusually light and airy. The walls
are practically OF glass, so great is
the window space. The interior of
the working rooms and the machines
used have been painted in light colors
and make the rooms bright and cheer
full Cleanliness is insisted upon and
all scraps and waste are swept up
and carried away before the floor and
the work benches can become Uttered
The women employees are provided
with aprons and sleevelets furnished
by the company twice a week and
laundered in the factory laundry.
! To provide further for the physical
comfort of the women, rest rooms have
been installed in connection with al
the departments where girls are EN-
, ployed. These rooms are furnished
, with cots, easy chairs, bath, lavatory
and medicine chest. Any girl who
becomes i'll or indisposed while al
work has the privilege of retiring tc
, these rooms. Two nurses make daily
rounds of the rest rooms and the wo
, mems departments, caring for any Of
the girls who may desire their servic
es.

PRESIDENT IN PROCLAMATION SETS
NOV. 80 AS THANKSGIVING DAY.

The President has issued his procla-

as day for thanksgiving, as follows:
By the President of the United States
of American Proclamation:
When nearly three centuries ago the
hrst settlers came to the country which
has now become this great republic. they
fronted not only hardship and priyation,
but terrible risk to their lives. In those
grim years the custom grew of setting
apart one day in each year for a Spe-
clal service of Thanksgiving to the Al
mighty for preserving the people through
the changing seasons. The custom has
now become national and hallOwed by
immemOrial usage. We live in easier
and more plentiful times than our fore
fathers, the men who with rugged
strength faced the rugged days; and
yet the dangers to national life are
quite as great now as at any previous
time in our history. 1t is eminently
fitting that once year our people
should set apart a day for praise and
thanksgiving to the giver of good, and,
at the same time, that they express
their thankfulness for the abundant mer-
cies received, should manfully acknowl-
edge their shortcomings and pledge

What Food Economy Means.

Economy in food does not imply pro-
hibition. 1t is neither vegetarianism,
fruitarianism. natarianism or any kind
of ism" 1t means simply temper
ance in diet, with the application OF
available scientific knowledge; the use
Of reason and intelligence, combined
with due appreciation of the dignity
of the body and the necessity Of meet
ing the daily wants without imperil-
ing that high degree of efficiency
which helps to render man physically
and mentally supreme. Practically,
this implies the avoidance of the large
quantities of proteid food SO commonly
made use of by civilized man. and the
substitution of d dietary characterized
by a predominance of the lighter vege-
table foods. In this respect it leans
somewhat toward yegetarianism. The
heavier meats Of our daily diet can be
advantageously replaced in part by
lighter articles OF diet less rich IN pro
