Keeping Workers Amused

'The greatest problem with war workers is
keeping them amused" says J. II. ConnOr, who is
States Explosives Plant CO.. at Nitro, W. Va. For
unless the workers are able to find entertainment
they wort work.
"At the present time there are 5000 workmen
at Nitro and it is planned to increase that number
to 10000. But despite the high wages it is diff
cult to keep the 5000 there. Wages are almost
unbelievably high. For example: Office boys are
started at SIS a month"; stenographers at $50,
and I have seen the weekly pay envelopes of
many carpenters with than 500 inside.
However, it is an actual fact that 20 per cent of
the wOrkmen who transported there at the
expense of the government disappear route
and than 80 per cent of those who arrive do
not stay more than two three days.
you see, Nitro is town about twelve
miles from CharlestOwn, W. Va. It's in a dry sec
ton of the country with absolutely nothing to at
tract workers except high wages And soon
the majority of workers bank roll they
depart for pleasanter and wetter chimes.
That's why a welfare department has been es-
tabliShed at this plant where a million pounds of
powder will be manufactured daily when every
thing is in operation. It found that unless
the amused when they finished their
work they simply wouldn't remain-no matter
what wages paid.
"Of course we do all the welfare work that is
being done in the most modern plants. We have
various kinds of hospitals, free medical attention
and all that sort Of thing. We even fill the teeth
of the wOrkmen free of charge. Houses are be-
ing built so that the workmen may bring their
families and there is everything for their crea-
ture comforts, but that isn't enough. The work
men miss the excitement OF life in the big cities
they miss the lights, the rush and that feeling
Of being in the SWIM, to speak. While they
merely Onlookers they felt that they were
taking part in the days events. When they get
to Nitro they soon become dissatisfied and de-
pressed.
"a person who has never worked in q place of
this kind cannot appreciate how essential amuse-
ment is to his well being. But must say that we
doing everything possible to keep the workers
happy and contented. I'm here in New York to
recruit band and arrange for the appearance of
a few musical plays. OF course the summer
months will not be so depressing for have built
scores OF bath houses on the river near the plant
and hundreds Of rowbOats and canoes have been
ordered It's the dull winter we're most afraid of"
