DANGER IN OvERWORK.
England Made Mistake Of Driving
Labor Too Hard.

From the New York Medical Journal.
1t is likely. or certain. rather. that

that was made in England at the begin
ming of the war and continued for some
time afterward will not be repeated here.
In the desperate need TO supply the
guns and rifles in use at the front the
workers in the British factories were
put on much longer hours than former
ly. and in many instances they were
subjected to the unusual strain for each
tof the seven days in the week.
The first result, of course. was in
creased production, and, as a means Of
meeting a grave emergency soon to be
passed this hard driving of the workers
would have been more than justifabls
at least as much more as was the
sending of other thousands to the perils
and hardships of the trenches The war
turned out to be long one, however,
and 1t was found after while that tho
long hours so affected the health, and
drained the strength OF the workers go
far beyond their powers of recuperation
in their brief periods of rest, that out
put steadily decreased. At last the
cessity for readjustment became ap-
parent, and then shortening of the
hours of labor. instead of decreasing
production, slowly increased IL until the
maximum that could be done by the
men and women available was discov-

They were still hard worked. but they
were not overworked. and they did

of high industrial efficiency. 1t is the

because then the consequence OF error
are more grave.
No matter what the limit decided on
may be, It will not fit every worker. for
no two of them are alike in endurance.
but there is a golden mean between tho
two equally undesirable extremes that
will bring about the maximum OF pro-
duction with the minimum of injury to
the majority of the workers. and that
is what must be sought as promptly as
possible in a crisis of this kind. Prob
ably 1t will differ from the one that was
established in England. but the prin-
ciple is the same in both countries, and
the experience of the one should not be
ignored in the other.
