LAUNDRY OPERATIVES
SUBJECTED TO DANGER
Bureau Of Labor, in Report of Con-
ditons in Milwaukee, Wis, Tells
of Risks Encountered.
WOMEN WORKERS PREDOMINANT

That the dangers to which women op-
eratives in laundrIes are subjected is
greatly in eNces. Of what is necessary
Us the conclusion drawn in the report of
the Bureau OF Labor, which has con-
Quoted an investigation into the Iaun-
dries in Milwaukee. Wis.
The principal fault is found with the
care of the machinery, which, it is
claimed. in many cases increases the
necessary amount OF work and danger 10
the operator.
II was found that SS per cent. of the
workers were women.
The report holds that one OF the dan
gers to which little attention is paid is
that OF the contraction OF disease from
handling dirty linen. 1t is said that this
could be minimized greatly by proper
supervision OF the collection, marking and
sorting departments
Another danger lies in the use of
chemicals, and this can be Iessened by a
rigid system of weights, measurers and
time schedules, according to the scien-
fists OF the bureau.
Excessive humidity also lays the work.
ers open to illness Humidity can be
controlled in a large degree by the in
stallation of proper floor drainage and
ohpa4 aus Inc use OF Nen-
tilating machinery also is suggested TO
reduce the heat in laundries, which is
said to be the cause of much illness
among those whose duties involve meet
ing wide changes in temperature.
Some of the other causes OF danger
to laundry operatives mentioned in the
report are:
Accidents, principally from hat-work
ironers, water extractors and exposed
gearing, against which there are guards
within the reach of every laundryman
Excessive fatigue. principally from
exacting foot-treadle machines. This
danger can be materially reduced by the
elimination Of old and heavy-running ma
chinery, by careful repair, by proper
equipment with heat guards, by adequate
instruction of operators and by a dis
eliminating assignment of exacting ma
chimes"
In some cases the investigators found
there were remarkable variations of heat
and humidity. The temperature in a
number of cases reached IS degrees in
the working zones of hat-work ironers
even when outside temperatures were
moderate. Safeguards against accidents
were lacking in many instances accord
ing TO the report of the Bureau Of
Labor.
approximately q per cent of all the
women were engaged in the operation of
the foot-treadle press and ironing ma
chimes. The pressure exerted in Operat-
ing the treadles of some of these ma
chimes was over 100 pounds, the height
Of the treadles ranging from IL to l2IS
inches, while the distances moved by the
treadles varies from l to II inches.
The test of the bureaus agents and
the careful experiments made by COM
nRtant larInAryr11an Sh hot
five pounds is the maximum amount of
pressure necessary TO do perfect work on
any of these machines. Additional pres
sure is, therefore, not only a waste of
the operators strength, but a needless
wear on the machine.

Ministers of City Discuss
Charge Made by Vardan1an
Statement Made by Mississippi Senator that Church
Members Devote Too Little Time to Helping
Their FellowMen Is Subject of Comment.

Il is quite true that in the slow-movtng
communities of the South the ministers
and churchgoers are more concerned
with the salvation of souls than they
are with material evils and wants. In
the State from which Senator Vardaman
comes you see there are no large cities.
I am a Southern man myself, and while
I do not know Mississippi. I do know
Virginia, Maryland, Georgia and the
southeastern part of the country, and
I am sure that Senator Vardaman rep
resents the conditions in the small and
nonprogressive cities OF the South and
not those that will be found in the
larger places.
Active I'm Practical Work.
Among people familiar with the re-
ligious work OF this time, II is a rather
common complaint that ministers now
adays are SO active in social betterment
work that they are inclined to neglect
their regular religious duties.
Jacob Riis. the social worker, told
this story on himself. He said that
he once heard a man from the plat
form criticise the Episcopal Church be-
cause. he said, II paid more attention
to the bodies Of its members than to
their souls. Mr.. Riis went right to Bis
hop Potter and asked to be confirmed
in the church because he said he wanted
to be member of a church that did
pay attention to the bodies OF men,"

navy Yard CHARGES
DENIED BY ROOSEVELT
Refutes Allegation that Department
Did Not Keep Promise Regarding
Machinists' Pay.
ATTITUDE OF MR.. DANIELS

Acting Secretary of the Navy Franklin
d. Roosevelt yesterday issued a denial
of charges made by employees OF the
Navy Yard that the Navy Department
had not lived up TO promises in regard
to the establishment of wage scale
for machinists.
1t was charged by the employees that
the Navy Department had been guilty OF
shifting positions in the wage-scale
problem; that at first there had been
hope Of an increase, and then that the
department had agreed to allow labor
representatives on a board to investigate
rates OF pay in private concerns. This wLs
found impracticabIe, said the charges,
and an investigation by the Department
of Labor was promised. n. p. Anfas,
representing the machinists, who issued
the statement said that he had found
that the proposed investigation would
not be made. In reply to Sir. Alias, Mr..
Roosevelt said:
Secretary of :he Navy Daniels has
agreed 10 noEe OF the propositions OF the
machinis.s as offers He promised to
consider certain data submitted lasi sum
mer. but could not base action on II,
as it represented only the machinists'
side.
Mr.. Daniels agreed to consider a sug
gestion that labor men be represented on
wage boards at each Navy Yard. This
was found impossible because the law
directing the department 10 find rates
paid by employers does not empower the
department to force such information.
Employers refused to give information
IL labor men were to be represented.
Mr. Daniels agreed to ask the De-
partment of Labor to conduct an inves.
tigation. This the Department of Labor
could not do. it was found. because ii
was unable to assign employees to the
work"
1t was said by Mr.. Roosevelt that the
statement of Mr.. Alifas that the De-
partment of Labor was willing as late
as last Saturday to make the investiga-
ton manifestly was untrue. He said
that the Navy Department had reached
an arrangement which would be posi-
tive whereby the wage boards would be
required to submit their findings on
November Ia month before the ap-
pointed time-and that the report of the
boards would be submitted to the labor
men, who would be given all the time
they wanted to answer. When the an
swer has been submitted, Mr.. Roose-
velt said, Mr.. Daniels will confer with
three delegates from each yard, who
may present their objections before D
decision is made

The statement of Senator James X.
Vardaman OF Mississippi before the con-
gregation of the Temple Baptist Church
that many Of the present-day evils were
the result Of the tendency of church peo-
pie to be content with singing hymns
from soft-cushioned pews rather than
getting out and actively helping their
fellow-man was the subject Of comment
yesterday by Washington clergymen.
The Rev. John Van Schaick, Jr., of the
Church of Our Father, Universalist, said:
81 have no criticism for any Of my
brother churchmen. but 1 quite agree
with Senator Vardaman that 1 am a
poor miserable offender and of no earthly
use. Tell the Senator / will try and do
better"
Rev. James Shera Montgomery, of the
Metropolitan Methodist Church, said:
II will only say now that a man can
start the fault finding business on mighty
little capital"
Agrees with Senator.
Rev. ]. ]. Muir, of the Temple Baptist
Church, was Of the opinion that as he
spoke of the people of today in general,
Senator Vardaman was right, and that
the majority do not do their duty.

Of the Washington Cathedral said:

Waste Shown IN
FOOD Shipments
Government Specialists Give
Result Of Recent In
vestigations.
CASE OF CORN IS CITED
Freight Paid on 1862 Tons Of
Water in Sending Product from Pro-
ducing Sections to Markets.

In the belief that American methods of
shipping several important staple foods
by freight are decidedly wastefrlI, and
that this waste adds materially to the
cost of food specialists Of the Department
Of Agriculture have been conducting In
vestigations into shipping conditions in
the United States. AS result they are
convinced that in several particulars the
systems used by United States shippers
are far less economical than those en-
ployed by foreign shippers, notably in
Germany.
The specialists find, in several instances,
that food is started on long freight jour
neys in such condition that heavy freight
charges must be paid on elements which
have TO be taken out of the food at the
end OF the trip before It can be used as
food. One OF the heaviest wasted freight
items is the amount paid for the trans
portation Of excessive moisture In corn
and in potatoes 10 be used for stock food
or in the manufacture OF starch. In Ger
many the culls and faulty potatoes, which
IN this country are thrown away are
dried SO as to remove all excess water
and then shipped to various points for
stock-feed purposes. This practice of
drying potatoes for stock feed and uses
in the arts has not gained great headway
in this country.
in corn in the United States, according
to the specialists, has a serious bearing
on the actual cost Of corn. and also is
one explanation for the great shortage
of cars at the corn shipping seasons.
The specialists find. for example. that
the American people are paying freight
on 1885, 6S2 tons of water in shipping their
corn from the producing sections to the
