Organized Labor Supports All Move
ments to Better Mankind.
Those people who have done the
work Of the world have long been fore
ed to bear the suffering and expense
entailed by accidents or sickness which
resulted from their occupations. AS
concepts of humanity and social re-
sponsibility have wideneI and deep
ened, the conviction has laid hold Of
the cOnsciences of the people that SO
ciety, which gains by the work OF
these people, must bear its response
bility for the waste and loss of human
energy. Labor is the creative force in
the worlds development and progress
"a force that must be safeguarded
lest loss or waste of it hamper the pro-
ductve, constructive power of the ma
ton. 1t is well, then, that society con-
tinue to take much thought for the
safety of life and limb of all the work
ers.
Labor is not only in sympathy with
but will support all movements for the
conservation and betterment of human
ity. In fact compelling sense of re-
sponsibility for human conservation
and the desire to protect individual in
terests are among the causes for or
ganization among the workers In la

Shorter Hours Benefit.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Investi-
cations into the hours of employ
ment for women have shown that
reduction Of the working day has
not been burdensome to the in
dustries, according to bulletin
issued by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tisticts. On the other hand the
report shows that the general
health of the women whose hours
have been reduced has been much
better. The bulletin gives a com
prehensive review of working con
ditions of women all over the world
ard cites varies authorities to carry
out the statements contained in it.
The reduction in the working day
has not made it more difficult
Tor the women to compete with
men. In those countries where the
hours of labor Of women have been
eQuced there is nothing to show
that the greater legal protection
given to women has made it more
difficult for them TO obtain en-
ployment. However, this reduc-
ton has in a way benefited the
men. The protection given to
women has led Indirectly to the
reduction of the hours of work Of
the men employed in that industry
and as a result wages have risen in
many cases. The majority Of
women, so the report continues,
makesu Sc Of the additional spare
time secured to them by the re-
duction of the hours OF labor TO a
greater care of their homes. Young
women are also enabled TO cultivate
their minds and to obtain domestic
instruction. Only when they are
employed for short hours is it pos
sible for young woman to train
themselves for more skilled trades.

other situation now arises IN this

nterurban lines, the terminals of

may be possible that within short
time, if the interrurban men are
not accorded a hearing and settle
ment of their grievances, another
strike may be the result.
