Sage Foundation Investiga-
tor Says Women Aren't
Protected Here

The work of American women in
subject of an investigation just conn-
pleted by the Russell Sage Founda
ton.
"Fcur thousand of these women
are employed by a single factory, the
Remington Arms-UniOn Metallic
Cartridge Co., in Bridgeport, Conn.,
writes Miss Amy Hewes, the investi-
gator, in The Survey magazine. They
are at work making cartridges to be
shipped to the battlefields of Eur
ope..
I'm the case of these women NUM-
ton workers of Bridgeport three seri-
Gus issues have come up. In the
first place. in order to satisfy the ur-
gent need of speed and a large out
put from the factories, women have
been induced to work long hours and
at night Second, they are put to
work near or with explosives in ways
which sometimes mean accident, in
dustrial poisoning or other illness. In
the third place, the high price of Ia
Dor has been paralleled by an excep-
tionally high cost of living, and the
increase in the number Of laborers
attracted by the high wages has caus-
ed phenomenal rise in rents.
"These conditions are similar in
many ways to those prevailing in the
English factories, which led the gov
eminent officials to appoint special
committee under the Ministry Of Mu-
nitions to consider and advise on
questions of industrial fatigue, and
the physical health and efficiency of
workers. This committee, after a
thorough investigation, went on rec.
ord as opposing night work and as
advocating shorter hours, as essential
for increased production, as well as
for the conservation of the workers
strength.
cat the beginning of the war it was
supposed that Connecticut legislation
prohibited night work for women.
The labor law, however, merely for
babe work for women after 10 p.
M, and fixed no hour in the morning
before which they might not be en-
ployed. Consequently, when the
rush of war orders made work in the
munitions factories continuous, wOm-
en- on the night shift were employed
until 10, kept idle from 10 until mid
night and then set to work again. Al
test of the law in prosecution
brought by the factory inspector re-
suited in a decision to the effect that,
owing to it's loose p11raseology, the
law did not apply to manufacturing,
but only to mercantile establishments.
At the present time, therefore, there
is no legal bar to the employment of
women in manufacturing establish
ments at night"
The investigators recommend that
immediate efforts be made to
strengthen the labor laws of Connec
ticut for the protection of women and
girls, to prohibit night work, to re-
duce the daily hours from the present
legal limit of o to eight, to strength
en- the workmens compensation law
for the prevention of accidents, and
to protect the workers against indus
trial poisons and diseases.

HARTFORD TIMES ON
MAYORS COMMISSION
GOVERNMENT PROJECT.

There does not appear to be any
great warmth of sympathy toward the
suggestion made some time ago by
Mayor Wilson for city manager for
the city. The majority of the men
who favored the commission form are
generally opposed to the city manager
plan for the reason that they think
that it is scheme in favor of Mayor
Wilson himself.-(Bridgepo cores
pendent of the Hartford Courant.)
Is it possible that there is a sus-
picion in Bridgeport of the disinter-
estedness Of the local patriotism of
Mayor Wilson? 1t is unthinkable
that the mayors zeal for the creation
Of the position of city manager
should be inspired by the hope of be-
ing the first to fill it, There is no
doubt that Mayor Wilson would make
an honest effort to perform the duties
OF the position in manner that
would be satisfactory to the people
Of the municipality, but we hesitate to
believe that he would advocate a
change in the charter of his city in
order to be provided with job We
prefer to think that the man refer
red to by the Courant correspondent,
who think that the scheme is in ia
vor of Mayor Wilson himself are
wrong in their suspicious, and that
they do the mayor an injustice in
entertaining them.
Mayor Wilson is the lieutenant
governor Of the state, and he will en-
ter on his second term in a few DAYS
with the possibility that in 1913 he
may be the Republican candidate for
governor. He was before the last
convention for the nomination. Our
regard for the good name of the state
makes us, disinclined to think that
the actions Of those who are in public
life are always Influenced by selfish
ness. Mayor Wilson is the close
personal friend and political conf
dent Of John T. King. the .Republi-
can national leader. who was assist
ed to a place on the Connecticut ma
tional committee by the editor of the
paper which prints the paragraph
that we have quoted.
Is it possible that the editors opin-
ion and the correspondents news
item, with all that it implies, are in
accord?
