recently by one of the great plants Of the
United States Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton. The men were engaged in doing
piecework, and their incentive to dc over
time was the prospect of more pay. When
working on a twelve hour shift the gang
rolled Sal plates an hour; on a ten hour
shift SIS plates we're put through hourly
and on the eight hour shift the gang
showed every sixty minutes 8. total of 6.25
plates.
Prof. Frederic S. Lee of Columbia Uni
versity, secretary of the committee on in
dustrial fatigue of the Council Of Ma
tional Defence, said not long ago:
at is widely believed, and especially by
employers of labor, that longer hours
mean necessarily greater output. If in
dustrial physiology does nothing else but
show the fallacy of this notion, it will
have justified itself.
"a man can, of course, accomplish more
in two hours than in one hour, but it
does not follow that he can accomplish
more in fifteen hours than in twelve or
more in twelve than in ten or even more
in ten than in eight Here the American
committee has discovered a strikingly sug-
gestive fact in the night work of one of
our large munition factories, the duration
of the night shift being twelve hours.
Output Curve Shows Drop.
"After 5 A. NJ. the curve of output
shows rapid decline, and during the last
forty minutes there is very little or abso-
lutely no production. The elimination of
the last two hours would be greatly to the
advantage Of the men and would probably
result in no diminution but an actual in
crease in the total product turned out"
In England the health Of munition
workers committee accumulated some
striking statistical evidence of the benefits
resulting from reduction Of the hours of
labor. Prof. Lee gives two instances to
illustrate the point:
with a group Of 80 to 100 women
turning aluminium fuse bodies the redue-
ton of the weekly hours of actual work
from 66.2 to 45.6, saving of more than
twenty hours, increased the gross produc-
ton by 9 per cent. When the actual
weekly working hours of 6fty-six men en-
gagged in the very heavy labor of sizing
fuse bodies were reduced sfrom 5S.2 TO
51.2 the gross output was increased by 2!
per cent"
In one case our investigators made
survey of al establishments in the State
of Wisconsin, where female labor was en-
ployed in numerous industries, and special
studies were made of the fatigue curve in
women engaged in different kinds on
pieeework, based upon hourly production.
The most significant fact disclosed was
the large amount of time lost by the work
ers through voluntary interruptions Of
their activities.
The object was to compare the differ
enees in this respect between the long and
the short working day. In industries
having ten hour shift the losses due to
these interruptions averaged IA per cent.

NEW YORK, Oct, 18th.-Ger-
many has protested to the United
States Government against the A
mericanizing of the German-owned
concerns, especially ships. 1t declares
that the sale Of these properties by
the Alien Property Custodian, A.
Mitchell Palmer, is consciously aim
ed to do lasting injury to German
enconomic existence"
Mr.. Palmer said last night that
the German protest is in che form of
note to the State Department re-
ceived on September Is, through the
Swiss Legation. In the note the sale
of German-owned ships in this
country is declared to be an attempt
ito shackle through measures of
force the opportunities of German
shipping interests to develop in tho
future"
The German Government is so a
reused over the seizure and sale of
German-owned concerns here that it
refuses to give information of the
treatment of American property in
Germany. 1t also threatens retail
iatory measures.
