INDUSTRIAL HEALTH.

INDUSTRIAL HEALTH.
The Importance Of the problem Of
industrial sanitation il gradually be-
coming more fully realized. Some
employers, indeed. even yet apparent
ly take the ground that, II workmen
are willing to labor under insanitary
conditions. it il no concern Of their
employers. The New York State Fac
tory Investigating Commission, which
has carefully studied the conditions
under which about two hundred thou
sand wage-earners work, reports that
there is a tendency on the part OF
many employers to economic not only
in matters Of legitimate. expense but
also in space, light. air. and certain
other safeguards to the health and
lives Of the workers" The report OF
the state GARD. OF health of Louisiana
indicates that over so per cent Of all
the manufacturing establishments In
the state are in poor or bad" san
itary conditions. Most states have no
available figures, but New York and
Louisiana are SO far from each other
geographically. economically and So
cially, that. for lack Of better, we may
take these two reports as an index of
industrial health conditions generally
throughout the United States. On ths
whole, says The Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association. with eacn
year employers tend to appreciate
more and more the commercial value
to them Of sanitary working condi-
lions for their employees.
b. S. Warren OF tho United States
public health service points out that
the false economy involved in neglect
of sanitation inevitably leads to great
ly expensive for the employer In the
end. The highest efficiency is posi-
BILE only when the health Of workers
is favored by good air and light, prop
er arrangement Of hours of labor and
the maintenance Of the safeguards of
health.
With regard to hours Of labor par
ticularly, some recent experience 10
valuable as indicating that shortened
hours of labor may actually conduce
not only to the health Of employees
but also to greater production. In tho
Engis Zinc Works the hours OF labor
were cut down from twelve to eight
per day, yet the men earned as much
and did as much work In eight hours
as they did formerly in twelve. Be-
sides there was a marked decrease in
the calls on the sick fund. the men no
longer felt the need Of stimulation.
and sobriety was markedly increased.
Almost the same thing happened at
the Zeiss Optical Works in Germany.
Able kept a careful record for the
years when the plant was operating
on q nine-hour day. When the work.
ing day was reduced to eight hours,
the record showed the men earned
over per cent more than during the
previous year. the output Of the work
was increased 3 per cent and the pow
err plant was able to shut down an
hour earlier thus effecting a very ma
terial saving in fundamental expense.
The record was for 233 men at an av-
efnEs age Of 81 years.. and many diff
ferent occupations on q piece-work
basis were represented in the shop
Both employers and employees need
to be convinced Of the evident fact
that the healthy man IL the most eff
ficient and the cheapest employee and
that any reasonable expense to main
tain him in health is a profitable in
vestment.

all OF these exports while the require

OF what had given England her start
in this line which led the London Spec
tator to remark recently: ''The pres

and import trade Of Germany and
lAustria-Hungary."
If England. engaged in the most
desperate and expensive war she. or

expansion, how much greater Is the
chance in this line for absolutely neu-

business men, and provided with un-
paralleled productive possibilities?
Europe generally speaking, and Ger.
many and England specifically. have
always made every effort to finance
municipal improvements abroad, such
as waterworks. sanitation. electric and
gas companies, subways, electric and
steam roads. The benefits derived
from such a source are only toe
