THE FOOD CONTROL BILL

Do our readers realize the impor-
tant part that South Carolina is play
ing in National affairs? In this great
crisis when matters of the very high
est Importance to the welfare of the
Nation are proposed and discussed in
Congress our grand old State is right
at the front.

management of Hon. Asbury +. Lev

South Curolina's Congressman, chair
man Of the Agricultural Committee,
has used wonderful capacity and tact.
On June IT, Mr.. Lever made great
speech in defense of the measure
From the press reports we note that
he was greeted with q wave of ap-
plause when he said:

business shall be hurt. 1t is the crook

He read letter from bright Phila
delphia woman who said "Thcrc ar,

Referring to this letter Mr.. Lever
said: "Do you know what a shin OF

enough meat on it to satisfy the hun

which the poor people of this country
make their soup. 1t used 20 sell at

Mr.. Lever had strong opposition to
the bill from former Speaker Joe
Cannon, of Illinois, Representative
Hanger, of Iowa, and Representative
Moore, of Philadelphia. But our Con

Unfortunately. to quote from recent
bulletin of the Consumers League
while labor laws may be repealed, the
laws of physiology cannot. 1t has taken
thirty years in this state to build up
laws adequately safeguarding the llte'
the health and the vigor of its working
people. The legal limitation OF fifty
four hours is by many experts declared
to be the maximum number of hours
that factory workers can work without
injury to their health. 1t has, more
over. been found that an extension OF
the number of hours of labor, instead
of increasing the output, if anything,
reduces it. The stale" worker produces
less in quality and quantity than one
who remains nit. For the fatigue felt
from day to day, if there is not enough
time allowed for recovery, wears down
imperceptibly and surely the working
capacity of the laborer. There is an IN
crease in the sick list, there is more
broken time, and a consequent disorgan-
iZation of the factory. For few weeks
more time means more output. After
that it means steady lessening of the
capacity of each individual worker.
These facts have become common
places in peace times. They have been

Il has been proved by hundreds OF big

their workday and increased their out

worker too hard kills the goose that lays
the golden egg. a lesson which now at
the beginning of war we are beginning
TO forget.
England forgot it in August. 1914. In
its haste to get sufficient ammunition
and supplies for her rapidly lmprovISed

many exemptions in munitions and
allied factories that all the safeguards

our success in the war depends. After
thirty years struggle to secure decent
