Woman's Labor Problem.

To find solution of the problem OF
what is known as the woman pocket
money worker" a conference con-
yened by the womans industrial
council Of Great Britain was recently
held. 1t is asserted that large mum.
bers Of girls Of good family are work
ing in government and other Offices
just for pocket money, and there is q
danger Of lowering wages for the genu.
inc worker, particularly when the wal
is over. The council is endeavoring to
impress on all working girls the neces
sity of not assisting any scheme which
would send down the rate Of pay fol
those who are obliged to earn a living
It is anticipated that after the wal
there will be keen competition fol
work, and that employers will take ad
vantage to lower wages where com
petition gives them chance.

no Keep Boys at Work.

A scheme for boy supervision has
been drawn up by the welfare depart
ment Of the British ministry of NUM-
lions. The department was establish
ed to deal with trouble among boys
who, with the high wages and the
great demand for their labor, could
not be induced to keep to one job. 1t
has already done excellent work In
controlling the boys, without inter-
fering In any way with the technical
side Of the work.
1t is proposed that employers should
appoint an officer, to be known as the
welfare supervisor, whose duty it will
be to take a general interest In the
boys, to deal with thier complaints
and grievances, and also with COM
plants against them Of all discipline
tdleness and bad time keeping. 1t will
In short, be his duty to insure the
smooth working of the factory.

TO EFFECT SAVING or COAL
important Matter That Should Enuaue
the Attention of Every Man in
the Country.

Economy in the use of fuel is one
of the requirements of the present and
approaching months. This does not
mean that people must suffer from
cold. 1t merely means that they may
avoid wasteful methods of handling
and using coal by following approved
methods. This affects every one, and
all may read with profit the sugges.
tons Of Van Fl. Manning director of
the federal bureau of mines:
ut is everybody's business to save
coal. If the consumers can be aroused
to an intelligent consideration of the
burning of coal, they can begin to save
10 per cent Of the production 100000
900 tons) at once. With more effort,
thorough instruction and moderate re-
modelling of coal-burning equipment,
which could all be accomplished during
the war, a further considerable saving
can be made
"The immediate problem is difficult
one. We cannot scrap all out-of-date
power plants. We must start by doing
the best with what we have. We must
reach the man with the shovel. About
15,00000O people shovel the 20 per cent
of our coal used for domestic purposes.
Only about 100000 firemen shovel the
60-odd per cent Of our coal used by
power plants and railroads.
"The householder must realize that
when he throws a shovelful of anthra-
cite coal into his furnace it's value is
equivalent to half a pound of sugar, or
half5a loaf of bread or pint of milk.
"He must appreciate that it is worth
while to examine his house and to over
haul his heating equipment. Weather
strips, double windows, pipe coverings,
clean fues and chimneys, and tight fit
tingss in ash pit, doors, hampers and
furnace parts will all pay.
"The fireman is, however, the biggest
single factor to be considered In
campaign to secure the largest saving
Of coal Many manufacturers have
made O serious mistake in falling to
consider the fireman as skilled work
err Too often he is treated as roust-
about He is not well instructed nor
given proper labor-saving devices. AS
coal Increases in price or becomes diff
ficuItSto get, the fireman handles more
and more of his employers money.
SIN carrying out campaign to pro-
mote the saving Of COAL let the appeal
be made to the householder to cut
down his consumption in every way
possible, but above all give serious
consideration to methods by which
systematic relationship may be estab-
lishd between the office and the fire.
