League Meeting.

New York-The eight-hour day pro-
notes industrial efficiency, improves the
health Of the worker and betters moral
and social conditions, speakers represent
ing employers and the medical profess
ors agreed at the interstate conference
OF the Woman's Trades Union League
of New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more.
Dr. Frederick S. Lee, of Columbia Uni
versity, discussed the eght-hour day
from the physicians viewpoint; Dr. Lee
K. Frankel, of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company, gave his views as an
employer and Mrs. Florence Kelley,
General Secretary of the National Con-
sumers' League, told how the consumers
regards it.
IF workers are going to maintain the
proper attitude of efficiency toward So
ciety" DR.. Lee said, they must be kept
in good physical condition. This is i'm
possible without the eight-hour day.

industrial efficiency.
employers say the eight-hour day
would cause the diminution of output
which they could not afford. This ar
gument falls to the ground, as it is
shown that workers can do more in eight
hours than they can in nine. ten or even
twelve"
DIR. Lee made plea for the reduction
of working hours for women workers
to eight and six hours per day, depend
ing on the character of the work and the
capacity OF the workers. He recon-
mended an investigation to determine
the maximum hours of work necessary in
certain callings.
DR.. Frankel declared himself un-
equivoally in favor of the eight-hour
day and said that the workday should be
made even shorter if the nature OF the
work required it. He said his COM
pany had already installed seven-and-
a-half-hour day with five-minute rest
periods at II and 3 80 o'clock.
Mrs. Kelley charged that the existing
labor laws for women and children are
not enforced and that publicity is the
only remedy for the condition brought
about, she said, by the "laggard SER
wants of negligent public"
