Dlp WAS going down. tOlldaHS Ntu
must remember were abandoned aud
the strain was beginning To be felt.
The government set up committee
composed of employers, trade union
representatives and government OIL
cinls. an impartial tribunal. They
came to the unanimous decision that
long hours and Sunday labor were dis
astrouS, not only tn the health OF the
men and women, but 10 the efficiency
Of the service and they were unanl-
nous in condcmnng long hours. And
we say without hesitation. having re-
gard to that experience, that it is un'
economical. il is unwiSc and it is bad
management to work men or women
abnormally long hours because ii does
not pay in the end
Proper regulation Of hours alone,
however. will not solve the problem.
The ordnance department knows that
it will not help production TO limit
hours If the men and women who work
these hours are not secured in the
fundamental necessities of life-tf they
are hungry, poorly clothed and i'm
propprly housed. Therefore, it is
urged that standards of wages al.
ready established in the industry and
in the locality should not be lowered y
"that minimum wage rates bear con-
stant relation to increases in the cost
of living" and that, in the case of re-
placement of men by women, there
should be equal pay for equal work.
In Justice to our soldiers at the front,
the standards of the jobs they have
left behind must not be lowered by
these new recruits. who will, in in
creasing numbers, take their places in
the industrial army.
British official estimates state that
since the war began, some 100000
women have directly replaced men, ana
some 100000 are employed directly an
munitions. The replacement Of 1AHsa
| by women has, comparatively, not
been extensive in the United States as
vet. But day by day we hear of new
occupations entered, and old ones eX-
! tended. Women are the reserve labor
pOwer of the nation, and. if the war
goes on, will inevitably be called into
industry in greater and greater num-
bers. Increasing demands will be made
upon them. unwise sacrifices will with
out doubt be demanded, shOrt-sighted
/ attempts will be made to break down
| labor laws. But because, in the light
/ of England's experience, and of our
| own best industrial practice, we know
! that exhausted workers mean de-
| creased prOduction-and because in
! the case of women workers, they
mean, too, Il deterioration Of the race,
the people of the country must be IN
guard with that vigilance" demanded
by it's chief of ordnance "lest the safe
guards with which the people of our
country have sought to protect labor
should be unwisely and unnecessarily
broken down"
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1918-06-28

Dor should be unwisely and unneces-
Sarily broken down"
This sentence sounds the keynote
of the Industrial policy of the two
great divisions of the United States
army-today placing numberleSs con-
tracts of fabulous size and value
the ordnance department and the
quartcrmaster's department. In Cen
eral Orders No Is. from which this
sentence is quoted, issued not long ago
by the ordnance department and later
adopted by the quartermastcr general,
are set forth in some detail the prin-
ciples of this policy. and in no uncer-
tain words the reason for its existence.
ut is a fair assumption it goes on
to say, that for the most part these
safeguards are the mechani~mS of ef-
ficiency. Industrial history proves that
reasonable hours. faif working condi-
tions. and a proper wage scale are es-
sential to high production Enlight-
ened patriotism. in other words, de-
maudS not that the workers shall work
long hours at top speed for the least
possible wages. but that for the sake
of output they shall make Il steady
reasonable expenditure of strength for
a reasonable length of time under prop
er conditions. We have long heard
these things demanded for the good of
the workers, but now a new partner
ship has been formed. Efficiency and
humanity go hand in hand.
From the time of our entrance into
the war, the Importance Of conserving
labor standards has been emphasized
and re-emphasi2ed by important Off
cials in the government. The presi-
dent himself, in welcoming at the
White House the British labor com
mission which visited this country last
spring. said that nothing would be
more deplorable' than "tO set aside
even temporarily the laws which have
safeguarded the standards of labor and
of life when we are fighting in q
cause which means the lifting of the

Tense urge upon the legislatures of
the states, as well as all administra'
tive agencies charged with the enforce

great duty of maintaining the existing
safeguards as to the health and wei
fare of workers, and that no departure
from such present standards in state
laws or state rulings affecting labor
should be taken without the declara-
ton of the council of national defense
that such a departure is essential for
the effective pursuit of the national de-
fense." The council has since strong
y reafiirmed this stand, and the wOm-
ans committee of the council has
taken. as its official standards for the
employment of women, the standards

issued hy ,hc ordnance departnei, rs
part of General Orders No. IL. The
departments of women in Industry OF
the woman'S committee throughout the
country are doing and will do all in
their power to put this Endorsement
into practical effect, with the co-opera-
tiOn of the department of women in
industry of the womanS committee at
Washington.
What are these standards, and why
are standards for working women Of
such prime importance to the nation
at this time? Proper conditions Of
wOman's labor have always been of
peculiar Importance to the state. In
peace times the United States Supreme
court held that. for the sake of future
generations, it was constitutional to
limit the working hours Of women to
eight hours a day. Today in war
time limitation of hours il is important
for an additional reason. Modern war
fare is not fought in the trenches
alone. The army at the front is help
less if the second line of defense, the
army in factories, is not able to keep
up production of supplies. In cmpha-
sizing the necessity of rigid enforce
ment of existing legal standards, and
urging that "even where the law per-
mfts a nine or tcn-hOur day, effort
should be made to restrict the work OF
women to eight hours the ordnance
department has in mind primarily the
output of munitions. In urging the
prohibition of night work, they state
that English Investigators have found
that night work for women involves
proportionately larger costs for super
vision and protection" The human
cost of night work has long been
known to social Investigators. A
world war has brought out its pecun-
larry extravaganza.
The Saturday half hOliday-"an alb
Solute essential for women under all
OnditiOnS'-adequat meal and rest
periods, and one days rest in seven,
also find place in this government list
of industrial standards. Even with
the best will in the world. and despite
the most ardent spirit of sacrifice, hu-
man beings cannot do continuous work
without losing their efficiency. The
English workers who toiled such long
hours at the beginning Of the war, did
so willingly for the sake of their sci
diers. In the words OF j. II. Thomas,
member of the British labor commits
sion to this country:
1--WE got reports Of our lads being
moved down, unable to defend them
selves, simply like rabbits in a hole,
being moved down all for want Of
munitions. You can quite understand
that public sentiment was that we had
to give them some protection, and our
men and our women were working a.

hours a week, not so much because
they were compelled, don't get that
into your heads, but because the very
circumstances, the moral influence of
doing something for these gallant lads
to give them a chance compelled us
all to forget hours and everything else.

ADDISON LEACH
RESIGNS; TAKES
EFFECT JUNE 80
Resignation Accepted at
Meeting of Regents
Late Tuesday
BOARD TO MAKE
ANNUAL INSPECTION
Will Begin At Fargo on
Feb. 1910 Be at ~"
on Founders Day

Addison Leach, secretary Of the
North Dakota Agricultural college,
rendered his resignation to the state
board of regents late Tuesday after
noon to take effect at the end Of the
academic school year. 1t was accept
ed.
According to statements made by
several members of the board Tues
day night, no successor had been
selected for the once which pays
| $4,000 annually. 1t had been rumored
for some time that the axe would fall
| on this particular office holder in
view of the fact that Leach was con-
sidered a political agent" for the
old board.
Mr.. Leach resigned his Office as
auditor OF Cass county to accept the
| secretaryship Of the college, shortly
after the state legislature in 1915
created the state board Of regents.
Following the organization Of the
board, the post at the college was Of
fered Mr.. Leach. 1t was said then
that the appointment was made
largely through the recommendation
of Charles r. Brewer, former secre-
tary of the board and who recently
resigned, being succeeded by Charles
Leissman of Bismarck, a resident of
Emmons county.
The session of the state board of
regents in Fargo Tuesday was of
statewide Importance. The position
of president of the UNIVERSITY Of
North Dakota to succeed Frank L.
McVey, resigned, who left for Lex
ington, KY, to become the president
of the University Of Kentucky, was
filed in the election of DR.. Thomas
f. Kane, president of Olivett college,
Olivett, Mich, and for ten years
president of the University of Wash
ington, at Seattle, and a prominent
figure in the western fight years ago
to save $3,500,OO0 in school lands for
the Washington university. Presi-
dent Kane then led the fight into
the state legislature of Washington.
He will probably take charge of the
university at the end of the present
academic year or about July l, 1918.
He is 81 years old. He received mott
fication of his appointment by tele-
gram late last night. The position
pays $4,000 a year.
Gordon w. Randlett returns to
take charge Of the extension work at
the college. 1t was through the work
Of Professor Randlett that the corn
SNOW was lOuAlAEu III 4 al ~ bN' - u
wears ago. He was also the origin
ator of the boys and girls institute
which is held at the Agricultural
college annually. Professor Van Els,
who is named director of the state
experiment station at the Agricul-
tural college, is head Of the state
veterinary department. He came to-
the state Of North Dakoa from MO-
bile, Ala. in 1908.
The state board of regents ad-
tourned late in the afternoon to meet
in Fargo on Feb. 10, when the mem
bers will begin their annual inspec-
ton of the state educational insti-
tutions. From Fargo, they will go tol
Wahpeton, thence to Glendale, and
will he in Grand Forks on Founders
day which Is Feb. %. The particular
event on that day will be the raising
of a service flag which will contain
$50 stars.
