 Women Unconscious
 In Krupps works at Essen there is no ventilation. The women had to lay on the driving belts them selves, which is dangerous on ac- count of their clothes. WOrkwomen are often carried out of the factor ies unconscious, says the report, while the descriptions which it con- tains of the cloakrooms-in many cases the absence of the same-are quite unquotable.
 Meals Are Bad
 In the majority of cases the ac commodation for meals is bad. The women have to sit on the ground to eat, and where a room is provided it is always too small. The dining hall in one Berlin factory where 700 women are employed has sitting ac- commodation for 30, and as only one hour is allowed for the midday meal it is impossible for the women to go home.

Seven Hundred Women Eat in Room Where There are Accommodations
 for Only Thirty.

Between the years 1882 and 1907 the number of women employed in German industries increased from AZ to 81a millions. Yet in the latter year only 68,O00 women found en- ployment in metal works because of the unsutability of women for the heavy work involved.
 The war has changed all this for. on July 1, 1916, no fewer than 3,827,640 women were at work in the metal trades, which means, of course, the munition industries.
 During August and September last year the German metal workers Un- ion investigated the conditions under which the women were working, and published the results in a pamphlet "Women's War Work in the Metal Industry" It is an appalling indict- ment of the slavery which is possi ble under Kultur We have heard great deal about welfare work for the German masses before the war, but in order to be freed from such trammels the Reichstag passed an emergency law in August, 1914, giving the Chancellor power to set aside all the factory laws and regulations for the well-being of women, young people and children employed in fac tories. It would seem that Herr Bethmann Hollweg has made exten- sive use of his powers.
 Very Long Hours
