MRS. BLATCH HOME,
|. SEES WAR LESSONS
Says Conflict Retarded All
Constructive Movements
for Women.
SOME GAINS RESULTED
Workers in England May
Force Crisis Unless De-
mands Are Met.

Mrs. Harriet Stanton Batch returned
yesterday on the Noordam from a four
months visit to England, France, Ger
many and Switzerland. She said last
night at her home, IL West Ninety-first
street, that she had gone to Europe to
f,nd out what definite constructive things
had come out OF the war for women and
she had not been long abroad before dis
covering that nothing constructive had
resulted from the conflict. Such con-
structive movements as are now on foot
in Europe, she said, are movements that
antedate the war and were retarded
by 1t.
"Of course" Mira Blatch said
women and labor have learned certain
lessons as a result of the war. Among
the definate recommendations that their
experience has taught are that working
conditions and hours should be the same
for men and women--the hours OF work
for adult women should not be limited
except as those Of men in similar occu-
pations are limited. On the other hand
the employment and the working condi-
lions OF children should be strictly reg
ulated. -.
TN England a careful Investigation
into the effect on women working In
certain trades which before the war
were filled exclusively by men, such a.
bus and tram conductors for instance,
shows that the health Of the women
after several years Of work was In many
cases improved. This was the result
of fresh air and OF their ability to buy
better and more nourishing food than
under former conditions.
Need Mechanical Training.
Another result of the war time ex-
perience of the women, especially in
England. Is that women. ss we'll as men
need more training. especially along
mechanical lines. This is q mechanical
age and the schools should give more
mechanical training. One Of the great
needs is to make work more interesting
and to do that II Is necessary that
machinery be better understood.
