When there was a shortage OF NUM-
tons at Gallipoli, England began to ask
why. The commission appointed to
find out what was wrong with the Eng
Hsh munitions factories discovered an
appalling sick rate, a jaded, listless body
of workers and a sluggish output. The
factories that worked overtime and
seven days a week, moreover, were not
turning out the largest product. And
the sickness insurance was becoming
heavy toll. In we'll known munitions
works. owing to q ffteen-hour day,
night work, and frequent Sunday work,
the sick rate was increased from 2 to 8
per cent.
Since these revelations England has
become very stringent and careful in
her enforcement of the labor laws.
Without any sentimental regard for the
health of the workers, if the munitions
and supplies were to flow steadily to the
army, the people who were making them
would have to be adequately protected.
There would have to be a reasonable
maximum day, if maximum output
was to be maintained. An increase in
sickness and fatigue meant decrease
in munitions. And the managers of fac
tories discovered that without day of
