must remember were abandoned and
the strain was beginning to be felt.
The government set up committee
composed of employers, trade union
representatives and government Off
cials, an impartial tribunal. They
came to the unanimous decision that
long hours and Sunday labor were dis
astrOuS, not only to the health of the
men and women, but to the efficiency
of the service and they were unani-
nous in condemning long hours. And
we say without hesitation, having re-
gard to that experience, that it is un-
economical, it is unwise and 1t is bad
management to work men or women
abnormally long hours because it does
not pay in the end"
Proper regulation of hours alone,
however, will not solve the problem.
The ordnance department knows that
it will not help production to limit
hours if the men and women who work
these hours are not secured in the
fundamental necessities of life-if they
are hungry, poorly clothed and i'm
properly housed. Therefore, it is
| urged that standards of wages "al-
ready established in the industry and
in the locality should not be lowered"
''that minimum wage rates bear con-
! stant relation to increases in the cost
of living" and that, in the case of re-
placement of men by women, there
should be equal pay for equal work.
In justice to our soldiers at the front,
the standards of the jobs they have
left behind must not be lowered by
these new recruits, who will, in in
creasing numbers, take their places in
| the industrial army.
British official estimates state that
since the war began, some 1,4OO,0OO
women have directly replaced men, ana
some 100000 are employed directly on
munitions. The replacement Of men
by women has, comparatively, not
been extensive in the United States as
| yet. But day by day we hear of new
occupations entered, and old ones ex-
tended. Women are the reserve labor

Of England's experience, and of our
own best industrial practice, we know
that exhausted workers mean de-
creased production-and because in
the case of women workers. they
mean, too, a deterioration Of the race.

This sentence sounds the keynote
OF the industrial policy of the two
great divisions of the United States
army-tOday placing numberless con-
tracts of fabulous size and value
the ordnance department and the
quartermaster's department. In "Gen.
eral Orders No. 49," from which this
sentence is quoted, issued not long ago
by the ordnance department and later
adopted by the Quartermaster general
are set forth in some detail the prin-
ciples of this policy, and in no uncer.
tain words the reason for its existence
1T Is fair assumption" 1t goes on
to say, that for the most part these
safeguards are the mechanisms of ef-
ficiency. Industrial history proves that

ship has been formed. Efficiency and
humanity go hand in hand.
From the time of our entrance into
the war, the Importance of conserving
labor standards has been emphasized
and re-emphasized by important Off.
cials in the government. The presi.
dent himself, in welcoming at the
White House the British labor com
mission which visited this country last
spring, said that nothing would be
more deplorable" than "to set aside
even temporarily the laws which have
safeguarded the standards of labor and
of life," when we are fighting In @
cause which means the lifting of the
standards of life" Secretary Baker

In April Of last year, stated In let.

states resolution passed by the coun.
Gil, "That the council of national de.
fense urge upon the legislatures OF

issued by the ordnance departmeLs as
part of General Orders No. 13. The
departments of women in industry of
the woman's committee throughout the
country are doing and will do all in
their power to put this Endorsement
into practical effect, with the cO-opera-
tiOn Of the department of women in
industry of the woman's committee at
Washington.
What are these standards, and why
are standards for working women of
such prime Importance. to the nation
at this time? Proper conditions of
woman's labor have always been Of
peculiar Importance to the state. In
peace times the United States Supreme
court held that, for the sake of future
generations, it was constitutional to
limit the working hours of women to
eight hours day. Today in war
time limitation of hours it is important
for an additional reason. Modern war
fare is not fought in the trenches
alone. The army at the front is help
less if the second line of defense, the
army in factories, Is not able to keep
up production Of supplies. In empha-
sizing the necessity Of rigid enforce
ment of existing legal standards, and
urging that "even where the law, per-
mits nine or ten-hour day, effort
should be made to restrict the work of
women to eight hours" the ordnance
department has in mind primarily the
output of munitions. In urging the
prohibition of night work, they state
that English investigators have found
that night work for women involves
propOrtionately larger costs for super
vision and protection" The human
cost of night work has long been
known to social Investigators. A
world war has brought out it's pecun-
iary extravaganza.
The Saturday half holiday-"an alb
solute essential for women under all
conditions" meal and rest
periods, and one days rest in seven,
also find place in this government list
Of industrial standards. Even with
the best will in the world, and despite
the most ardent spirit of sacrifice, hu-
man beings cannot do continuous work
without losing their efficiency. The
English workers, who tOiled such long
hours at the beginning Of the war, did
so willingly for the sake of their SOL
diers. In the words Of J. Fl. Thomas,
member of the British labor commits
