Fl 'u2ds Shorter
Hours of Work
Curtail Output:
Commission Reports ON
Study of Cotton Manu-
featuring

BOSTON, March 10.-Thc National
Industrial Conference Board to-day
issued the first Of series of reports on
an investigation of the experience of
manufacturers in several major indus
tries to determine what effect if any,
changes in weekly hours of work had
oxerted on production or on the health
OF workers.
The present report, which deals with
the cotton manufacturing industry, is
based upon replies to questions from
1866 establishments employing 10000
workers. From maze Of figures and
individual opinion the board makes
these general conclusions:
"Reductions in hours of work in
Northern cotton mills from fifty-eight
or fifty-six to ifty-ive or fifty four
have in a great majority of cases re-
uulted in substantially proportional
decrease in output. in some instances
part Of the loss was promptly made
up by increased efficiency Of workers,
but this experience was not general.
Decrease in South
Eventually, improvements in equip
mcnt. in methods of management and
IE other respects often brought total
output per employe up to that previ-
ously attained under longer week
This, however, necessitated material
increase in investment.
Such limited data as arc available
for Southern mills indicate that hours
iii excess of sixty a week do not neces,
sarily yield materially larger output
than sixty hours. Reductions below a
siNty-hour schedule, however, usually
resulted in substantial decreases in
output
mere Is no convincing evidence that
a shortening of hours apprcciably af-
fected the morale or attitude of work.
ers.
"Where machine time controls to
such an extent as in cotton manufact-
urlng, comparisons of output under
different hours-of-w schedules are
not reliable measure of changes In
fatigue.
Health Study Difficult
There is no available evidence of
significant difference in health con-
dltions as between 54-hour, a S.
hour or 5S-hour schedule. Certain
evidence indicates that the health of
cotton mill workers is above that for
industrial workers in general Other
evidence, equally important, indicates
Just the reverse. In particular, there
ls evidence cf a relatively high occur
renee of tuberculosis. The extent to
winch the industry itself is respon-
sible. however. is not clear. Where
results of careful investigation are
SO conflicting it is obvious that still
dertaken before definite conclusions
are warranted
ANY scientific study of relative
health conditions. moreover, must take
account not merely Of conditions asso
ciated with, or inherent in, the in.
dustry studied, but also of housinp
conditions, physical types, age, sen
ana az habit habits Of the workers. 1t is hoped
cussion in a later report covarin,

America 1nsures German Defeat

Even if Ireland were willing to gain
freedom at the worlds expense-and I
am happy to say that the majority of
1Iishmen are not-but even if they
were they surely would be disappointed.
That kind of freedom rests on the as
sumption that Germany is going to win
Germany is not going to VIM If there
were ever any doubt on that point, that
doubt was cleared up on the day that
America entered the. struggle
Mr.. O'Connor, who said he had been
at times political enemy but always a
friend Of Mr.. Redmond. at the end of. a
tribute to the dead Irish patriot said: /:
'1s the British government going to
persist in that policy of stupid blunder-
ing which wrecked the craftsmanship
Of Redmond by refusing the liberty Of
Ireland? If it does it will infict a
cruel injustice, not merely on the hopes
of Ireland, but also on the interests
of all its allies. Above all, it will
infict an injustice on the people of
America. all of whom look with eager

He Denounces Redmond's
Opponents as "Judas Is
CARROTS of Liberty"
Memorial for Leader
Resolution Calls for Loyalty
to Principles Which Dead
Patriot Urged

1rishmen who sought to purchase
Ireiand's freedom" at the price of
German victory were branded as "thc
Judas Iscariots of liberty" yesterday
by T. P. O'Connor, member of Parlia-
ment and Irish leader, now in this
country on a war mission.
Mr.. O'Connor's denunciation Of the
opponents of the late John T. Redmond
vas made at q meeting at the Knicker-
booker Hotel of the New York Munich
pal Council OF the United Irish League
Of America. The gathering, attended
by representatives of Irish societies Of
the city and suburbs, was called to
Iass memorial resolution on the
death of Mr.. Redmond. A committee
was appointed to arrange for a
memorial service soon. at which all the
New York friends of Mr.. Redmond can
pay tribute to his memory.
There are some persons in Ireland,
said Mr.. O'Connor, "who claim that
ireland should have no concern in the
fate of Belgium and Serbia, the fight
OF France and the bombing of women
and babies in England.
Would Join Hands With Huns
They say that Ireland should sacri
flee the liberty of all these nations
and join hands with the Huns) for the
sake of Irish liberty.
Surely Irishmen must see that such
policy would make the Irish the
Judas 1scariots CT liberty.
*As 10 the attitude which Mr. Red
nond took in this world war, l claim
That he had the vision to see the under
iying and essential realities of the
lssue-pt stake.
You IN America were driven to the
same view by the Huns somewhat later.
That's why America is in the war to-
day.
"What other view could an Irish Ma
tionalist take. when the Huns violated
the neutrality of Belgium and butchcred
its civilian population, even Belgium S
babies, its women. its priests?
"Supposing that even by lining UP on
Germany's side Ireland could have won
ner liberty, would the liberty so pur-
chased have been worth the price :?
Could Ireland feel proud OF liberty
founded upon the blood and tears of
other nations enslaved?
There are persons of Irish blood in
America who have opposed Mr.. Red
mond's policy. Surely they must see
that. now that the United States is in
the war, Irish freedom purchased at
the cost of German victory would be
purchased at the price of Americas de
feat. How can any Irishman even con-
template such treason to the flag Of
America?

FINANCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK, March 30.-At no time since this country's entrance into the international conflict has interest in financial quarters been so acute as during the last week.
 The only spasm of activity was that furnished by the extraordinary buying Of liberty bonds at substantial sd- vances, not all of which was held. The coming week, it is generally believed would be largely to preparations for the third loan,
 Domestic developments bearing upon the securities market were mainly con- structive. The favorable annual report of the United States Steel corporation, the new and satisfactory schedules is sued by the war board and the evident disposition of the government to ease the financial burdens of the railroads were helpful in varying degrees.
 Railroad earnings again were of mixed character, but indications point to a reported readjustment of the con- ditions created by the embargo of the first months of the year.

NEW YORK, March 30.-Aside from the strength of few specialties, to- days stock market manifested no def mite trend until the final dealings, when standard issues, such as Union Pacific and Reading, registered sub stantial gains. partly as result of short coverings.
 Much of the days negligible turn over was limited to equipments, mo- tors and tobaccos, at extreme advances Of l to 21a points. Coppers also re- sponded to a moderate inquiry and some of the more obscure specialties were higher by to 3& points.
 Total sales amounted to 10000 shares.

 Bond dealings were in keeping with the superficial character of the stock market. Liberty issues were slightly lower and rails, including ,convertibles, reacted moderately. Total sales, par value, aggregated $4,650,000. United States bonds, old issues were unchanged on call during the week.
