Males Work Longer Hours.

The reason for this Is given in the re-
port as due to the fact that most of the
male workers put In longer hours. par
ticularly In the piece work class, because
they were for the most part heads oil
families and were anxious TO earn more
money.
The report will find hat among the
5000 workers examined the average for
each in distinct defects or disease was
4.3s per cent.
Not all OF these were serious says
the report. but many OF e exer-
cised a deleterlous effect upon the indi-
vidual. The examination showed that
there were no vocational diseases pc
culiar to the garment trade"
The investigation disclosed that tu-
berculosis is the most common disease
in the garment industry. Among the
male workers II was ascertaiued that
the percentage OF tuberculosis cases was
ten times as great as IL is In the United
States army, while among the female
workers In the garment industry the
percentage Is three times as great as In
the army.
1t was found that the disease Is most
prevalent among the lowest paid
workers, preesers and fn!shers, par
ticularly among the males. The factor
which increased the percentage among
the male workers. according 10 the Cow
ernment experts. was the greater age OF
the males and the longer average
period OF occupation among male
workers

Let The Called JadeS BRAY

Soon after the biennial period OF
1918 una l.. closed, certain OF the
old discredited stand-pat organs set
I'D hue and cry about how much
more money the democratic state
administration spent than was spent
the two previous years. They never
tell what the expenditures were for,
but they invariably leave the false
inference that useless job-holders
consumed it in salaries. The facts
are, as the official records disclose,
the "job-holders" were virtually the
same both periods. No rate Of tax
alton for state purposes was increas-
ed. Rates remaining exactly the
same those years, although the rate
for 1915 and 1916 has been de-
creased. More funds, however, were
raised for state purposes, but the
increase was due TO the more
thorough and equitable enforcement
of law, and to the natural growth
and prosperity of the state. In
creased revenue warranted increased
expenditures for necessities and pro-
eressive public work.
For instance, in 191l-12 as state
aid for better roads $79.4S8.58 was
spent; while in 1884 for this pur-
pose there was spent $685., 455.S6.
This is a part of the extravaganza"
charges the stand-pat papers have
been ringing the changes upon.
