WOMEN WORKERS
TO Be PROTECTED
Conferences Being Held in Washing
ton to Devise Plans for Their Safe
guarding In Industries.

Washington, Oct Various per-
picking problems that are developing
on the very threshold of the induction /
of women in greater numbers into IN
dustry were considered AT the con-
ference OF state and federal labor
officials held here or Tuesday.
The whole problem of production
confronting the American people,
with the necessity for changing meth
DDS OF work, is draining their re-
sources and opening up new avenues
OF labor The insistent note of the
conference was that standards should
be maintained. Women and children
should be safeEuarded and not I'M
duly exploited. OF course, II is grant
ed that labor emergencies may arise
which will make ii necessary to call
upon women for labor which they are
now prevented by law from under
taking, but il was held that this should
be done only in proven emergencies.
Miss Mary Van kleeck. chief of the
women in industry service of the de-
partment of labor, said
we are faced with many serious
I problems today in connection with
production. Men have been with
drawn from industry. From now on
/ they will be withdrawn at a much
/ more rapid rate. We are behind on
many of our army contracts and the
cable messages from France are de-
| handing supplies from three to six
months In advance of the program of
production.
| The problem OF wosireu In indus
+ try is a problem of la Dor supply,
| Women must be introduced into haz-
/ ardous occupations. and we have no
developed standards with which to
meet this need We cannot. however.
! deal with the problem in a fragmen-
tary way. For the sake OF production
itself standards OF efficiency must be
built up and maintained. 1t is not
possible for each state to work out
! these standards. What one state
| works out must be made availa BILE for
| others TO use that valuable time and
energy may not be lost
In the past. women have been
| classified with children. and protec-
| tive legislation has been adopted on
this basis. Protective measures must
| now be established in hazardous oc-
equations for men as well as for
women. n process is equally dan
gerous for men as for women, study
| must be made to reduce it's hazards
for all the workers. If it is an occu-
patton peculiarly hazardous for wo-
men they must be eliminated.
The federal government has said
that women must be paid equal wages
when they are performing equal work
! That Is not always being observed
/ The wage adjustment boards have no
Representatives of women. The great
problems have been those of mems
| wages. and women's wages have not
! received the attention they should
! The public has considered women 8
| wages on the basis OF The maintenance
OF the individual woman The Wo-
mems Trade Union League has gone
on record for the consideration Of

have others dependent upon them.

BOARD SUSTAINED
DISTRICT EXEMPTION BOARD
RULES ON ABOUT FIFTY
APPEALS.

Sioux Falls, Jan. 29.-Sustaining
in practically every instance the de-
cision of the lower board, the district
exemption board has placed in Glass
l most of the appealed cases. The
first batch of returned appeals reach
ed the county board this afternoon.
They were cases where the local
board had classified the registrants
in Glass l and they had appealed to
the district board. About so of these
appealed cases with a few industrial
appeals, have been returned to the
county board and final classification
cards will nov be sen these regis
trants.
Appeals to the president cannot be
taken in most of these cases as no ap-
peal is permitted where the district
board votes unanimously on the final
classification. If four members
voted for Glass l and the other
against, the registrant could appeal
to the president.

HAIRLESS HEADS
NOT ALTOGETHER DESIRABLE IN
THE TRENCHES.

st. Louis, Mo, Jan. 29.-The OBJ
vious target that a bald head offers
to Teuton sharpshooters was assign
ed by an army officer here as a vital
reason why men minus hair on their
heads should be exempted from mill
tary service unless they can be used
in some branch that does not call
for exposure to the enemy.
Captain C. f. Jenkins, in charge of
an ambulance company at Camp Fun
ston, gave this advice when speak
ing to members of local exemption
boards.
"Bald-headed men are not alto
gether welcome" Captain Jenkins
said. They present a shining target
for the enemy and besides they can
not Withstand cold. They would
make admirable decoys but thus far
we have not felt the need of using
hairless heads for that purpose"
Further advice offered by the cap
tain was that men with index fingers
missing or with as many as two toes
missing should not be accepted. He
explained that it has already cost the
government thousands of dollars to
return men to their homes who are
thus physically unfit.

SIOUX FALLS NEWSPAPER COM
MENTS ON PLAY In WHICH
MADISON is INTERESTED.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: The
Washington high school basketball
team won a slow and listless game
from Madison high Friday evening
at the local high school gymnasium.
There was but a short period of the
entire game where there was any
pep" displayed by either team, and
that was shortly after the commence
men of the second half, when the
Sioux Falls boys broke loose and by
some brilliant work made four bas-
kets in rapid succession, sweeping the
Madison boys completely off their
feet. But the pep" was short lived
and the home boys fell back into the
old rut till the close of the game
when they again Fingered up and
added two more baskets. There was
no time in the game that the visitors
we're at all threatening. Even dur
Ing the first half, when the locals
failed to exhibit much ginger, the Wis
itors were worse offenders and in the
entire half failed to make a single
basket and we're satisfied with a sin
gle successful free throw, the first
half ending with a score of 6 to : in
favor Of Sioux Falls.
