Disregard Of all sanitary provisions is
maintained by large class Of manufac-
turers Of the old school. who see in ade-
quate sanitary equipment only means
Of pamperfng their men and of making
it easier for them to shirk their tasks.
There are, too. many manufacturers,
small and large, who believe that insan-
itary. filthy, uncomfortable surroundings
are the necessary atmosphere of sue
cessful plant.
The lesson that must be taught over
and over again in behalf Of scientific fac
tory housing is that healthy employe is
a better investment than an unhealthy
one; that convenient well lighted, ven
tilated and sanitary factory building pays
most in dividends. And. finally, it will
be necessary for the manufacturer to
learn that contented interested employe
is still better investment than mere
ly contented one.

Secretary Daniels has announced that
he favored opening to foreign shipbuild-

can the government expect to get rea-

a good investment. Mushrooms. con-

clothing lockers, accessible drinking wa
ter, maximum window space and proper

dispensable features of the up-to-date
factory building, and features that are
being forced into adoption, even over mis-

economic value as by the demand OF
popular sentiment.
Many big manufacturers have found 1t
worth while to go further than the plan
ming of their plants for the convenience
of their workers and for good sanitation.
They have added gymnasiums. roof gar
dens. libraries. swimming pools, tennis
courts and athletic fields. They have
made arrangements for general as well
as technical education OF their employees:
They have established free clinics ana
medical treatment. They have under
taken the management of boarding
houses for their unmarried employees,
have builded houses for those with fanl-
lies am have founded general co-opera-
tive stores and social clubs.
Nor has this work been done as a mat
ter of charity or from the viewpoint of
social service, but solely TO meet the de-
nlands of modern intensified production.
Where the costs of production in LABOR
machines and material and profits are
calculated with scientific accuracy the
manufacturer is awakened to the impof-
lance of the asset of good health among
his operatives and of the scarcely less
important asset of their good will and
state of mind. leading them to give their
best efforts in his service

CITY PLANNING.
W.-Factory Buildings.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Work done in uncomfortable sur
roundings and under mental protest Is
poor work, and work done under un-
healthful conditions is likely to be OF
a still lower order. Therefore, the Dig
manufacturer has given his earnest at
tention to the housing of his plant. BE-
sides LAYING his plans for the greatest
floor space, lowest cost and highest el-
4ic,ency Of arrangement, he has kept the
health and well being of his employees IN
mind in the erection of factory buildings.
This has paid him large returns in dollars
and cents.
Desnite the decided advantage of a
healthy, contented force of operatives,
however there is still n large class OF
manufacturers in this country who per-
sjst in regarding their work1ngmen as
machines. to be run as cheaply as pos
sible with the least possible attention
They forget that the machine is not an
inspired thing that its output of GER
tain quality of work is known and that
it either can or cannot come up to this
known output: while, on the other hand.
the output of the employee throughout
the year can be, at best, approximated,
and. in i'll health or when i'll at ease, the
employe may fall far short of his best,
both in quality and amount of work done,
without bringing the notice of his en-
Iloyer or next superior upon him.
The humanitarian factory IS merely a
matter of education
1t is not only thing to be wished for
by sentimental well wishers Of the race,
but it is good business for the individual
and good economy and better politics Tor
society Foremost engaged in the work OF
educating the backward manufacturer IS
the United States Department of Labor,
aided by legion of writers, sociologlsts
and labor organizations. BY process OF
competition even the sweatshop must
succumb before the sanitary factory.

thrown on the case today by relatives
of the girl. who charged Robert Hig-

According to these relatives the girl
was driven frantic by the lapse OF
time which brought no solution to her
crushing problem, and pointed In
evitab1y to the day when the public
must of necessity know of her plight.
To the desperation of her situation
the relatives attribute the apparently
