NELL MAKES PUBLIC
INVESTIGATION OF
WORKING CONDITION
Fifteen Per Cent of Iron and
Steel Employees and 30 Per
Cent of Furnace Men
Work 7 Days a Week

Washington, April Fifteen per cent
of the employees in the iron and steel
industry as a whole, and more than 50
per cent of the blast furnace workmen
work seven days week. an investiga-
tion of the bureau of labor diseloses.
Commissioner Nei1l today made publia
the third volume of the bureaus investi.
CATION dealing with working conditions
and the relations of employers and. work.
men.
The report states that since 1910. when
the main investigation was made, and
when the normal working day for the
majority of steel workers was 12 hours
long, with practically 30 per cent of the
entire force regularly working seven days
per week, a number of steel companies
have put into effect various plans by
which none of their employees is re-
quired or permitted to w$S more than
six days a week. Between 40 and so per
cent of the employees working seven
days per week have been affected by these
arrangements, but 15 per cent still work
each day in the week.
Extensive Interviews
brought out the fact that In their opins
ion the six day arrangements have not
secured TO them advantages eommenst-
rate with the loss OF a days pay each
week. The day of enforced rest does not
give them a holiday either on Sunday
or on any other day ON which their fell
low worl1men generally are also at
leisure. On any day except Sunday the
workmen say there is nothing to do ex-
cept to sleep all day or to go to sa-
looms.
The proportion of men working f2 hours
day has been practically unchanged
except for two plants which have intro
duced the eight hour system. Careful
estimates of the maximum cost of sub
stltuting the eight hour day with SO
per cent increase in hourly rates, SO as
to give the same daily earnings, show
that even If there were no increase in
efficiency the cost of pig iron would be
only &c per cent greater. or 40 cents per
ton. In finished products the cost would
be only per cent greater or between
a.7o and Sc per ton.
System of Shifts
The report concludes that system of
three shifts of hours each is the only
practicable substitute for the existing
schedule of two shifts of 10 hours. Nu-
merous advantages of the eight hour sys-
tenn are pointed out and 1t Is further
shown that of the steel plants which
have recently adopted the eight hour day
one had no increase in its cost of pro-
duction while as a result of increased
efficiency the cost of the others products
was actually less with the eight hour
system than with the IL hour system, In
spite OF considerable increase In wages

Russell Tn the morning for the purpose of correct ing final proof sheets and arranging for the immediate distribution or bulletin of information and such forms as have not already been distributed to the town clerks of the state.

SCOTT COMPANY BIDS
 THOUGHT TO BE LOWEST.
Contractors Believe Their Figures for Work on New London Piers is $15,ooo to $3O,o00 Less Than Others.

It was conceded Wednesday morning in New London by competing contract ors that the T. A. Scott company had entered the lowest bid for the con- structton of the substTucture of the steamship terminal at East New Lon don. their bid being estimated to be from $15,000 to $30,000 less than that of any other contractor. The contract will of course not be awarded until the meeting of the New London harbor commission at the capitol in Hartford on Tuesday afternoon next at o'clock
 The bid submitted by the T. A.. Scott company approXimates $425,00O- Other bids run considerably higher several being in the vicinity of $500,- 000- The work of compiling them was undertaken by several persons outside the commission engineers and it was found necessary by those who started the task Tuesday evening to work well into Wednesday morning before they had finished.
 The 3 bids submitted were tabulat- ed Wednesday by the engineers in the harbOr commission office. Later the totals win be figured and the result handed to Secretary F. V Chappell, who will notify the various bidders as to which is lowest. Other things be- ing equal, it is assumed that the con- tract will be given to the lowest bid der.

A MESSAGE TO THIN,
 WEAK, SCRAWNY FOLKS
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 30 lbs of
 Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh

Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to say. T can't understand why l do not get fat. l eat plenty of good, nourishing food" The reason is just this: You cannot get fat, no matter how much you eat, unless your digestive organs asSimilate the fat-making clements of your food nstead of passing them out through the body as waste
 What is needed is a means of gent ly urging the assimilative functions of the stomach and intestines to ab- sorb the oils and fats and hand them over to the blood, where they may reach the starved. shTunken. run down tissues and build them up. The thin persons body is like dry fatty materials of which it is being deprived by the failure of the alinen- targ canal to take them from the food. The best way to overcome this sinful waste of flesh building clements and 10 stop the leakage of fats is to use Sarg0l, the recently discovered regen- eFatiye force that is recommended so highly by physicians here and abroad, Take a little SaFgol tablet with every meal and notice how quickly your cheeks fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh are deposited over your projecting point. Lee & 0sgood Ge. and other good druggists have Sar- gol, or caa get it from their whole saler, and will refund your money if you are not satisfied with the gain in weight it produces as stated on the guarantee in each package It is inexpensive, easy to take and highly efficient.
 Caution*-1Nhi4e Sargol has pro- duced remarkable results in over coming nervous dyspepsia and gen. eral stomach troubles. it should not be taken unless you are willing to gain ten pounds or more, for it is a wonderful flesh builder.

 Section 42 provides that any en- ployer who has accepted Part B of this act and who thereafter fails to conform to any provisions of section 80 of Part B shall forfeit all benefits hereunder and shall be liable as if he had not accepted the same.'
 In referring to the law as given above, the commissioners, without rul- ing upon any question before it is actually presented to them, indicated that it might be entirely possible that municipalities might be liable to com mon law actions for damages by any of their employees, and might be in such shape that they were not able to make any. common law defenses unless each municipality should make formal application to the commissioner in whose district the municipality is lp- cated for a certificate of financial sol Vency etc, under section 30. The commission says that it is not proba- ble that any commissioner would hesi- tate to grant such a certificate provid- ed it was applied for by the proper official, but on the other hand no com missioner would feel authorized to is- sue the certificate unless it were asked for.
