MORALE OF WORKERS
In War Industries to Be
Looked After by Y. M.
c.. "A.

New York. March 10.-A nation wide
plan to preserve the morale of workers IN
war industries by providing them the
same social opportunities afforded Amerf-
can soldiers was announced tonight at
the international headquarters of the Y.
NJ. c. A
According to this plan, Y. NJ. c. A. huts
will be established within six months near
most Of the munitions plans and ship
yards of the East and it is expected that
before the end of the year huts Will spring
up over the entire country. Moreover,
the Y. Nc. A. will offer to put trained
secretaries in every large Industrial plant.
The plan, it was stated, was completed
at conferences held here under the aus
pces of the committee on work in war in
dustries of the war work council.
The department of labor was repre-
sented at the meetings, attended also By
labor leaders, employers and social work
ers.
In describing the huts which it is pro-
posed to construct ut the various war
plants statement by the committee SAID:
"These social centers will contain not
only refreshments and recreational facll-
tiles, but gymnasiums shower baths, mo-
tion pictures and everything else required
In such centers. Moreover. 1t is planned
to keep these huts open day and nighv.
week days and Sundays, filling that gap
which comes into the life of every normal
home-loving man who. through force of
circumstances. finds himself denied the
comforts of home. The needs of the
foreign language speaking people will be
taken into account.
1--WE believe it is just as important to
keep up the morale Of the soldiers of in
dustry as it is to keep up the morale OF
those under fire
