shorter hours. Eight hours for men,
ten hours for children, unlimited hours
for women-Such is our practice today
in an increasing number of states.
Eight hours for all workers would do
more to reduce tuberculosis than all
the crusades against it that are goinS
on in the world today for over work Is
the chief predisposng cause of the
disease"
