signed to solve the food problem.
Prospects for a vote are uncertain

numbered of amendments likely 10

signed TO meet some of the immedi-
ate pressing problems of the food
prices during the war period
Despite these intentions. however
strong movement has been in
itiated i'm the senate to amend the
bill TO prevent speculation in food
products. Sen. Walsh of Montana,
has offered an Misrepresentation
amendment which will be before the
senate today.
The prohibitionists are reserving
their fire for a mighty effort when
the main food bill is brought up.
The bill now before the two
houses provides for a national sur
vey of food supplies and prices. for
distribution of seeds by the depart
ment of agriculture, for a nation
wide educational campaign to pro-
mote food conservation and prevent
waste and for extension of the mar

gress in legislating on the food

British Inspector Writes
In England as early as 1915 some
employers returned TO regular labor
standards. The British chief in
spector of factories and workshops
writes in May, 1916:
The tendency grew as the year
passed 10 substitute a system of
shifts for the long day followed by
overtime, and this is particularly
reported of munition factories in
the midlands and IN sheffield. o
The number of days on which over
time was actually worked tended in
many factories to decrease as ex-
perience grew of accumulatine
fatigue and lessened output Prob
ably for similar reasons Sunday
labor also has tended latterly TO
decrease"
The reports of the British official
committee on the health of NUM-
ton workers on the waste involved
in the long hours worked during the
war are well known They urge the
restoring of restrictions and are
full of such statements as the fol-
lowing:
Even during the urgent claims
of a war the problem must always
be to obtain the maximum output
from the individual worker which is
compatible with the maintenance OF
his health. In war time the work
men will be willing, as they are
showing in so many directions, to
forego comfort and 10 work nearer
TO the margin of accommodating
fatigue than in times Of peace, but
the country can not afford the eX-
travagance of paying for work done
during incapacity from fatigue just
because so many hours are spent
upon it, or the further extravasance
of urging armies of workers to-
wards relative incapacity by ne
elect of physiological law.
Conditions of work are accepted
without question and without COM
plant which, Immediately detri-
mental to output. would if contin-
ued be ultimately disastrous to
health. II is for the nation 10 safe
guard the devotion of its workers
by its foresight and watchfulness
lest irreparable harm be done tc
body and mind both in this genera
ton and the next.
VERY young girls show almost inn
mediate symptoms of lassitude, eX-
haustion, and impaired vitality un-
der the influence of employment at
night a very similar expression
was made by the appearance of
large numbers of young boys who
had been working at munitions for
a long time on alternate night and
day shifts"
In England the war exemptions
to the factory laws have not in
cluded a lowering of the age limits
for factory work. And the exemp-
tions to the school attendance laws
permitted for agriculture and Tight
employment" are now bitterly re-
GREETED by the general education
authority which has sanctioned
them.
