EMPLOYERS STIRRED
BY HEALTH BULLETIN
Resent Government Report Up
holding Eight-Hour Day, as
Against Public Interest"

New York, Sept. 9.-Tbe National In
dustrial Conference Board, made UP Of a
score of employers associations, takes
issue with Bulletin No. 106 Of the United
States Public Health Service, comparing
the workings of a factory under the eight
hour system with one working ten hours.
The bulletin says statement issued by
the board yesterday is misleading, is based
on improper calculations and comparisons
and is condemned as essentially un-
scientific and not justified by the data
offered"
The bulletin sets forth that "a com
parison of the eight-bour and ten-hour
system leads to the conclusion that the
eight-hour system is the more efficient"
Specifically, the government report con-
cludes that % "the outstanding feature OF
the eight-hour system is steady main
tenance OF output; (2), under the eight
hour system work with almost full power
begins and ends approximately on sched-
ule, and lost time is reduced to mini
mum, (3), under the ten-hour system arti-
fetal limitation of output is widely preva-
lent; under the eIght-hour system output
varies more nearly according TO individual
capacity, and (4) the Importance Of fa-
tigue in the causatIon of accidents is en-
phasized by the fact that the higher ac-
cident risk accompanies the deeper de-
cline of production-in the ten-holir plant
as compared with the eight-hour plant"
The conference boards analysis Of the
bulletin holds that the above conclusions
are essentially unscientihc and not justi-
fed by the data offered, for the following
basic reasons: "n), the two plants from
which data were obtained are not fairly
comparable, and % the basis Of expert
ence is too small to justify comprehensive
conclusions applicable to industry in
general"

franchise, or even fro a fear Il . black
women would outvote the whites Of the
south. 1t was due to the realizing that
tho Anthony amendment would reopen
the whole race question, and mako it ncc-
cessary for the south to go through the
whole difficult and expensive business OF
DISTINGUISHING another large body Of ITS
people.
But now that tho ballot has been
placed in the hands of Negro women OF
the south, southerncrs, it is emphatically
declared here, will not shrink from neces-
sity, as they see it, of taking that ballot
away. And having had more or less prac-
tice in that line in the last 40 years, tho
process may not prove as painful or AS
prolonged as in the case Of Negro men.

BLIND SELF SUPPORTING

According to the records on file at the Legal Aid Division of the Depart men of Charities there are approxi mately 30 blind persons in Bridgeport ranging in age from 1 1-2 years to 80 years old, and about 55 deaf and dumb mutes.
 In a census recently taken the rec ords show that all of the 30 blind per sons are self-supporting. The major ity of cases are engaged in the can ing of chairs as means of leveiIhood. Others make their living as piano tuners. One interesting case lis that of Rerbetr Strout, who is a piano teacher and conducts a studio at 1,109 Broad street.
 The age of the deaf and dumb per sons runs from Is to 54 years. In oio- taining the census of the mutes in the city the Charities Department was as- sisted by deaf man and by his aid it was made possible to ascertain the ap- proxi1nate number of deaf and dumb persons in the city. It was stated al the Welfare building this morning that the remarka ble point of these cases is the fact that very few of them have appealed to the Charities Depart ment for aid. Only about five cases have been sent to the Hartford School for the Blind.
