In discussing Infant Mortality In Re-
S-Sion to Factory Labor. DR.. John
tobertson. Medical OHicer Of Health Of
Barminsham, England, said the real
Gusstiou Of infant mortality among tho
poorest GLASSES resolved itself into
,vhsther the mother who went out to
tia factory because the household In
come was small. was doing something
that enabled the household to keep
above the poverty line. He asked: rs
IL better for these mothers to 60 to
work notwithstanding some damage to
the infants. or to stay at home and
receive the damage done by poverty"
ITO test this question" DR.. Robert
hon said. II have accumulated statistics
covering an area Of the city OF Birm-
inrham, where approximately 80 per
cent Of thu married women are en-
.ployed during COLLABORATING years.
while the other 80 per cent. are very
much Of the same class. but do not
work In factories"
