To Guard Health Of
Women War Workers

WASHINGTON, Mar. 2-Is work in
American munitions factories under
mining the health of women workers ?
This is what the Labor Department
alarmed by European reports-has
started out to discover.
More than 100000 women are to-
day employed in war industries in this
country, is was stated; and large pro-
portion of these i'm munitions plants.
European reports have told of
severe strain on women workers re-
puired to lift heavy metal castings
and shells. Ovcrwor5, too, and un-
wholesome moral surroundings are re-
ported to have. taken heavy toll in
many factories abroad. Many cum
brous machines must be adapted to
control by women.
The Labor Department probe is de-
signed to result in needed re-adiust-
ments throuChout munitions plantg-
and to see that wages of women work
ors are maintained on the same level
as those formerly paid men.

good with a vengeance and is in a
fair way to clean out a gang of law
breakers even though he has had sew
eral narrow escapes.
According to Marion Jack, member
of the state fish and game commits
sion, Tonkin was sent into southern
Oregon because he was unknown and
because he had established a reputa-
tion for fearlessness. He has already
arrested one organized gang of four
men and seized a great quantity of
deer hides which they had accumu-
lated.

had an exciting time Of it and exper-
fenced the sensation of having a re-
volver puked into him amidships He
and n fellow worker had already
seized the hides and had trailed the
gang to a small house in the noun
tains. He knocked at the door but
there was no answer. His demands
for entrance were repeatedly refused
and he was ordered away. Finally
he burst the door from its hinges,
and as he jumped into the room. a
young girl stepped forward showed
a revolver into the pit of his stom-
ach and ordered him TO back out or
be shot. The other man reached
around Tonkin and seized the revol-
Yer, 1t was then that the wardens
discovered that the four men and a
woman had fled through the back
door into the timber.
They gave chase at once and soon
had three Of the men under arrest

hands while the other warden pur.
