/ Profits the Pocket and Peace
of Mind Of Employer,
He Says
JUSTICE FOR WORKINGNAN
Several Speakers Discuss
This Theme Before Big
Gathering

Washington, Jan. 1.-SecretaryyR Red
] field, OF the department of commerce
would be far better for the pockets
Eas well as the peace OF mind of en-
p1oyers" if they would work their
men only eight hours a day. He was
speaking before the American As
sociation for Labor Legislation, which
is meeting here with the American
Political Science association.
81 believe said the secretary, that
when our factories are run so the
worlxn1en go home without being
fatigued from over long hours, ana
not till then will we be able to COM
pete successfully against all comers
In the markets of the world. / could
not afford to employ in factory men
who was half sick, who come to work
after having bad breakfasts, who are
partly poisoned; they would be
economically improbable. And yet
fatigue is part poison
Secretary Redfeld said there should
be a thorough study made of con-
ditions under which men work best.
This subject of the human element In
rnanrlfacturing, he added, could not
be treated from the mathematical
standpoint. g
Austin B. Garretson. president OF
the order Of railway conductors, told
the association that in 1913 there had
been 261 600 violations of the law pro-
shibiting the working of a trainman
more than sixteen hours in one day.
The law of averages, he said, would
show that this was but a small pro-
portion of the number of men employ
ed
aAnd yet the law Of averages he
declared. docs not give any rest to
these men, nor can 1t restore the lives
iaRst through accidents due to fatigue.
During the past year an army of men
running into the millions have worked
in excess of ten hours on a stretch.
.sWhile / have been standing here
talking to YOU said Mr.. Garretson,
s.four railway trainmen have been car
ried away on stretchers, killed or in
dured and during the two days we
have been in session here ESQ of them
have been carried off. We are kill
ing and injuring them at the rate OF
tgh day. How much Of this is due
10 long hours"
That the popularity of compulsory
insurance against accidents has been
astonishingly rapid during the past
stsree years and Is bound to be fol-
owed quickly by other forms OF
social insurance was the declaration
of Joseph P. Chamberlain, of New
York. The present insurance of the
poor he said was hopeless eSpen-
sive.
Prof Charles l.. Jones, of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin said there was
s. generally recognized need of reform
f legislative methods and that a
sthod OF centralizing the control Of
,nieasures introduced was much to be
desired.
\ Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, spoke
in favor Of national legislative re-
ference bureau which would prepare
hills to be introduced SO they might
be as nearly perfect as possible from
the standpoint of clear expression, SO
"that even the. supreme court could
not misunderstood them"
Much time might be saved and
many errors avoided, the senator said,
by bureau of experts who did moth
ing but prepare bills.

HOPE FOR FEWER
STRIKES IN 1914

Boston, Jan. LIN the hope Of ma
terially reducing strikes in Massachu-
setts in 1914 the State Board of Com
cialiation and arbitration issued a
special message yesterday to employers
and employees, urging them to exhaust
all possible methods of settlement be-
fore resorting to a breach of industrial
peace.
The board holds that the public is
an innocent third party in all labor
controversies, and is entitled to the
same protection which should be ac-
corded to the other two parties.
Out of Las controversies investigat-
ed by the board in the past year
strikes were averted in 128 cases.
