Economy Of Fresh Air.

Professor rWinSloW, of the de-
partment of biology in the College
OF the City OF New York, in we'll
written article in the magazine
called Factory, declares that fresh
air beats any speed boss ever
installed for the increase of human
efficiency. Professor Winslow ar
CUES that a IistIess factory operative
wastes time, only half accompanies
his work and also often mars the
material on which he is employed.
IL the afr in a factory is impure.
the factory operative has no more
life in the brisk days of midsum-
nler. Therefore Professor WinsloW
sees positive economic value in fresh
air and would convince factory
owners of the necessity for providing
a full supply of 1t to workers.
Changes from poorly ventilated to
well ventilated quarters have worked
startling Improvement In several in
stances. The Germania insurance
Company of New York reduced the
current sick list from 10 per cent
of the force almost to zero. Changes
in the New York pension bureau re-
duced the days of absence due to ILL
ness from ES,763 to 10, Many
New York state factory owners have
awakened to the meaning of these
figures and voluntarily are going to
considerable expense in furnishing
fresh air of the proper temperature
with scientific precision
1t is clear that no employee can
do good work in a stuffy, poorly
ventilated atmosphere, and it is
strange, says an exchange, that this
elemental truth needs demonstration
by bfloglc experts and state factory
inspectors The workman has
naught but his labor power to sell
and if this power is diminished by
unwholesome and facilitating sur
then the purchaser OF
the labor power certainly shows
shortsightedness on his side OF the
bargain. Real economic wisdom
makes 1t mandatory on the part OF
the employer to provide the most
healthful surroundings possible for
workers.
Professor winslow also points out
that there is a human side as we'll
as an Industrial side to the ques-
ton. An operative who, with low
cred vitality, passes from an over
crowded and overheated workroom
into the chill night air proves an
easy victim to illness and black OF
it all turks tuberculosis. the great
social and industrial disease"
Therein the state is shown to have
a vital interest in the fresh air
question. The purely selfish aspect
of the matter, however, ought to go
far to bring about .betterment in
factory conditions. Plenty of fresh
air in the factory means money in
the owners pocket.

.Hazing the Hazers.

This journal for some time has
been enlisted In the crusade against
the idiottc and barbarous custom OF
hazfng newly married couples,
hence It views with peculiar gratiti-
cation news report in a late issue
Of the Connellsyille Courier telling
about the trouncing by bridegroom
of two friends upon the rear plat
form of a Pullman coach the other
evening.
The bride and bridegroom had
been married a few hours previous
at MeyersdaIe and when the train
bearing them pulled into the Con
nelIsville station a crowd of friends
and alleged friends attempted to
engage in several pranks at the
couples expense. When two young
men started toward the bridegroom
each with one hand outstretched and
the other clutching a bunch of hand
bills bearing jocular descriptions of
the newly welded pair, Mr.. Bride
groom promptly sprawled them
around the observation plat
form, 4, with well directed blows
from HIS lists. One was also

This bridegroom deserves pat

Sons. The distribution of dolt!sh
circulars around a departing bride
and bridegroom IS not an uncommon
occurrence nor in most cases is i'll
considered particularly offensive,
yet, like all .other silly pranks at al
Wedding, one thing of the kind leads
to another and gener-i
ally risk of personal discomfort,
feelings, and actual bodily
danger is involved.
Such puerile antics ought to be,
1iscountenanced and stopped when
ever they are attempted. NJ there is
one time in the lives of young man
and young woman when they want
to be happy and feel that they have
the good will and kindly blessings
OF their friends it is when they enter
into the sublime and sacred relation
of matrimony. Many persons will

Health Conditions and Sani=

Improving.

The volume containing the reports
of the officers of the International
typographical Union for the fiscal
year ending with May, 1911, is now
! in circulation.
The international Typographical
Union has for years conducted a
health campaign from its information
al Headquarters, and working through
local committees. In his report this
year President Lynch has this to say
as to the progress of the campaign:
Your president has continued the
agitation during the last year for
better sanitary conditions in the
workroom where our members are
compelled to labor. We have also
continued the distribution of the tu-
berculosis pamphlet. AS to SANTA
ton and other workroom conditions.
our local unions should continue to
give these subjects attention With
the movement against filthy and nom
ventilated composing rooms there
will be entire sympathy on the part
of the general public, and no en-
oloyer can AFFORD to resist demand
for a change in working conditions
that will guarantee health and COM
fort, AS a matter Of fact, well-ven-
tilated and scientifically arranged
composing rooms are as good an in
vestment as is the latest improve
ment in type-setting machines or
the newest and most up-to-date faces
in type. The worker who Is in good
pleasant surroundings is the best
kind of a worker, for both mentally
and physically he is equipped to pro-
duce the best that his art knows
Good printing means additional pat
ronage for the printing office, and to-
a very great extent good printing re-
uuires artistic typesettinE.
All of our local unions should
have health committees, and these
committees should be untiring in
their efforts to improve sanitary con-
ditions and other features in COM
posing rooms requiring betterment |
whenever a condition exists that re-
ouires' Improvement, If the employer
fails to make the Improvement on
request Of the health committee. then
the bad condition should be called to
the attention of the local board Of
health, and If the local board refuses
to act, agitation should be started
thorugh the central body, through
pamphlets circulated literally. and

bers from employment in the com
