What the Berlin Vorwaerts terms
'criminal sapping of the nations
strength" is revealed by the returns
of the '1abor inspectorate for Prussia"
for 1917.
These statistics have not appeared
during wartime, and socialists have
long and vainly urged their resistance.
The Prussian board Of trade finally
yielded, and last years figures have
Just been made public. Issued with
out text, they are eloquent in them
selves, as they show increased use OF
the labor of women and children,
which, Vorwaerts says, "will exact a
fea.lul revenge on the future race"

Favorable Report on Canadian ln>

The Canadian industrial disputes In

restraint both on employers and en-
ployees through period of industrial
unrest, the national industrial confer

years operation Of the Canadian law,
made public at Boston. The conclu-
sion Of the board was reached, the re-
port says, Notwithstanding that statis-

providing war materials have been
brought under the compulsory features

The report says that the success of
the measure depends principally up
on public opinion, the penalties provid-

LESSON LEARNED FROM WAR
National Effectiveness Dependent Upon
the WelIsBeing Of the Men and
Women Engaged in Industrial Out
put--Lahor's Just Demand.

Quoting an influential representative
of organized labor who said: "When
the workers return from the trenches
they will not be satisfied with flowers
or brass bands" Secretary John B.
Andrews of the American Association
for Labor Legislation urged the early
enactment of health-insuranc legisla-
tion as d prime measure of national
effectiveness. "Aside from measures
for the development and protection Of
labor organizations in their campaign
for higher wages, shorter hours and
increased control Of industry" he said,
"it is probable that no single factor
in industrial betterment will be so
widely accepted as vital to the welfare
of the masses of people in this country
as the assurance Of reasonable health
full working and living conditions.
1--WE are not likely to adopt a mis-
taken policy in reference to maintain
ing existing protective standards" he
added. ''But it is also our duty dur
ing the war, and even because of the
war; to. take certain steps In advance
for the protection of the national
health. 1t is essential, If we are to
attack the problem of health and ma
tional effectiveness with vigor and I'M
derstanding, that workmen at the first
indication of approaching Illness be
not held back, either because of COM
mendable dislike of charity or of re-
luctance to accumulate doctor bills,
from requesting Immediately, as a
right, ell necessary medical attention
which they would have under state-ad-
ministered health insurance. This
service should be available not only
for the sick employees but also for
dependent members Of their families"
Labor is justified in insisting, de-
clared Doctor Andrews, that the world
of medical science shall be made avail
able to the wage earners-not merely,
as at present, to the wealthy on the
one hand and through charitable dis
pensaries to the poverty stricken on
the other.

discussing national health as q factor
in national effectiveness, because the
successful prosecution Of the war Is
directly dependent upon the output OF
labor, and every means must be ex.
ercised to maintain the health OF
these workers at the highest standard
of efficiency. Every effort should be
made and every means should be ap'
piled to safeguard them against dis
ease or injury. Continuous good
health is necessary for continuous

Y. m. CA. NEEDS men .
IN SOUTHERN CAMPS
While Red Triangle Continues to Call
for Overseas Workers, 1000 Are
Wanted for Home Service

Atlanta, Ca, August 25.-Men en-
dowed with the element of leadership
are needed by the Army and Navy
Y. M. c. A. to serve in the camps of
the Southeast.
DR.. w. w. Alexander, general re-
cruiting secretary for the War Per
sonnet Board of the Y. M. G. A. War
Work Council, declares that there is a
pressing need for home service, and
that this affords a splendid opportun-
ity to the man of middle age who is
not able to go abroad under the Red
Triangle.
"The Y. M. G. A. needs men for
overseas service, Of course, but the
home camps must not be forgotten"
explained Dr.. Alexander. From now
on until the first of the year the
Southeast must recruit 1000 men for
The home camps. This means that
each state will be called upon to fur
nish rs men per month per state to
serve the soldiers In camps such as
Gordon, Jackson, Wheeler and the
others. The constant growth OF the
home environments and the growing
demand for the Y. M. G. A. work
makes It necessary to recruit "
workers for this side"
