MUST SAFEGUARD
WORKERS HEALTH
Matter Above All Others Vital to
the Continued Welfare
of the Nation.
LESSON LEARNED FROM WAR
National Effectiveness Dependent Upon
the WeII-Being of the Men and
Women Engaged in Industrial Out
put-LaboTs Just Demand.

Quoting an influential representative
of organized labor who said: "When
the workers return from the trenches
they will not be satisfied with flowers
or brass bands" Secretary John 3.
Andrews of the American Association
for Labor Legislation urged the early
enactment Of health-insurance legisla-
tion as q prime measure of national
effectiveness. "ASide from measures
for the development and protection of
labor organizations in their campaign
for higher wages, shorter hours and
increased control of industry" he said,
1T is probable that no single factor
in industrial betterment will be so
widely accepted as vital to the welfare
of the masses Of people in this country
as the assurance of reasonable health
full working and living conditions.
1--WE are not likely to adopt a mis-
taken policy in reference to maintain
ing existing protective standards" he
added. "But it is also our duty dur
ing the war, and even because of the
war, to take certain steps in advance
for the protection Of the national
health. 1t is essential, If we are to
attack the problem Of health and ma
tiOnal effectiveness with VigOr and I'M
derstanding, that wOrkmen at the first
indication Of approaching Illness be
not held back, either because of COM
mendable dislike Of charity or of re-
Iuctance to accumulate doctor bills,
from requesting Immediately, as
right, all necessary medical attention
which they would have under state-ad-
miniStered health insurance. This
service should be available not only
for the sick employees but also for
dependent members of their families"
Labor is justified in insisting, de-
clared Doctor Andrews, that the world
Of medical science shall be made avail
able to the wage earners-nOt merely
as at present, to the wealthy on the
one hand and through charitable dis
pensaries to the poverty stricken on
the other.
'It is as vital to maintain the health
of our army of workers as it Is that OF
our military forces" said Assistant
Surgeon General J. c. Perry of the
United States public health service in
discussing national health as factor
in national effectiveness, because the
successful prosecution of the war IS
directly dependent upon the output of
labor, and every means must be ex-
ercised to maintain the health of
these workers at the highest standard
Of efficiency. Every effort should be
made and every means should be ap-
piled to safeguard them against dis
ease or injury. Continuous good
health is necessary for continuous
maximum production"

Child Labor In Germany.

What the Berlin VOrwaerts terms
criminal sapping of the nations
strength is revealed by the returns
Of the "labor inspectorate for Prussia"
for 1917.
These statistics have not appeared
during wartime, and socialists have
long and vainly urged their reissuance.
The Prussian board of trade finally
yielded, and last years figures have
Just been made public. Issued with
out text, they are eloquent in them
selves, as they show increased use Of
the labor Of women and children,
which, Vorwaerts says, "will exact a
fearful revenge on the future race"
"The number of official inspections
of factories having notably decreased,
it Is safe to say" adds VOrwaerts,
that law breaking in this respect has
assumed gigantic proportions" and
the paper vehemently complains of the
excessive indulgence shown to employ
ers by the authorities"

Demand Equality of Wages.

Equal wages for equal work, wheth-
er performed by men or women, was
recommended by directors of the New
York chamber Of commerce following
submission of a report of the indus
trial welfare committee of the cham
Der.
The recommendation is based upon
investigation of various industries in
which women are employed and COW
ers a period of several months. The
information was gathered through the
employment managers and the pro-
duction managers groups of the man
ufacturers and wholesale merchants
board of the chamber and will be used
in several large cities as the basis for
substitution of women for men in In
dustry.

Rapid progress is being made to-

shipyards, according to Francis t.
Bowles, director of operations, who
announced that thirty-five keels had
been laid and that the number Of
workers at the yards had reached
2S,5OO. This, Mr.. Bowles said, is but
1900 short of the number of employees
that will be required to operate the
yard at full capacity. All the ways
are expected to be completed early In

The aid of France and England and

shing's first report on the German as-

April 23.-"Our troops were over.

This was the official characterize.
tion by a field commander OF the
American troops. who successfully re-
pulsed an enemy onslaught In the Toul
sector. in his report to headquarters.
Details OF the engagement. which
the correspondent pieced together
from interviews with officers and men
who participated in the battle show
that the Americans stuck to their
guns while the Germans were placing
liquid fire. gas and almost every other
conceivable device OF frightfulness on
them.

great German offensive. Since the
savage attack on the American forces
at Seicheprey on Saturday there has
been no fighting OF an extraordinary
nature along the front, but there have
been indications that the Teutons are

The Germans have attempted two
great frontal attacks on the defenses
