HOOVER Reports

Washington, Nov. ll.-That more
than fifty per cent OF the men ana
women employed in American indus
try are sufferers from defective VI
sion is one of the important findings
Of the Hoover Committee for Ellm-
nation Of waste in industry.
The report, as prepared by Herbert
Hoover, Secretary Of Commerce, and
seventeen nationally known engineers
who worked with him, is being issued
by the Federated American Engineer
ing Societies, under whose auspices
the gigantic survey was undertaken.
The loss in effective effort in guam
tity and quality work is immeasur-
able, the committee finds, according
to l.. w. Wallace, vice chairman Of
the committee, whose advance synop-
sis is the first inkling CLEANED by the
public Of the comprehensive results
of the waste study. The 'reconEals-
sance report on waste" as Secretary
Hoover terms it in his foreward 10
the report, was the result of five
months intensive study, planned with
care and executed with rapidity. On
the question of loss Of production
through faulty vision, Mr.. Wallace
presents a brief but pertinent sum-
mary.
1T is estimated that 25,000,00O
workers have defective vision requir-
ing correction" Mr.. Wallace states.
He uses the Easte report giving a to-
tai of 42,0U0,0O0 men and women in
industry as his basis for fixing the
ne
eye sight. Continuing, he says:
1T has been the experience Of
many that there has been q serious
time-labor loss from reduction Of
quantity and quality production due
to defective vision and the fatigue
produced thereby.
''The loss in effective effort. in re-
duced quantity and quality Of work
and in the comfort and contentment
of the worker due to defective vision
is unreasonable. 1t is matter Of seri
Gus moment. It is the experience of
numbers of plan managers that the
brings increased quantity and quality
uf production, sufficient to pay for the
cost of the same. That is now being
done by q number Of plants.
No industrial, professional or COM
mercial employer can afford to neg
lect the health Of his employees. 1t
is good business to safeguard the
health and the physical vigor of the
employee.
"Organized labor should reverse It's
position regarding physical exami-
nations and actively support such
means of safeguarding the health,
the we'll being and the prosperity of
the American workman"

STATE HIGHWAY

Warsaw, Va, Nov. 1.-THE sec
ton OF the State Highway between
Warsaw and Fredericksburg, extend
ing from Oak Grove to King George
court house, q distance of eleven
miles, has been recently rebuilt and
improved. This work was under con-
tract from the State Highway Depart
ment, and according to contract was
to have been completed by January
l. Due to favorable weather condi-
tons the Improvement has been COM
pletcd and is now in use.
Tie completion of the Improvement
Of this section Of the main highway
Of the Northern Neck marks new
era in good roads" for the inhabi-
tants Of this rich section Of Virginia.
This has been by far the worst piece
Of road in the Northern Neck, GER
tainly the worst on the main high
way, and now that it has been I'M
proved the people in the lower sec
ton of the Northern Neck can travel
in and out throughout the entire year.
During severe winter weather 1t
has often been the case that when
tie rivers are frozen and river trans
portation is completely tied up, the
condition Of the roads Of the North
a1n Neck were in places impossible
to MOTOR transportation. 1t Is be-
lievcd that with the State Highway
leading from Reedvillc to Fredericks-
burg, improved as it has been and
maintained by State Highway forces
instead Of by the local counties, the
people will be able to use this high
way throughout the winter.
Sections Of the highway between
Warsaw and Fredericksburg recently
improved, are declared by those who
trare! over them to be among the
prctticst sections Of improved road
i in the state.

Letter From Senator
Swanson

Richmond, Va, Nov. 1.-the fol-
lowing letter from Senator Claude A.
Swanson to State Chairman Fl. d.
Flood, dealing with the present state
political campaign and calling on
Virginia Democrats to go TO the polls
November 8, tells it,; own story. The
letter was released by Mr.. Flood for
publication today, and reads, in full
as follows:
"Hon. II. D. Flood, Chairman,
Democratic State Central Committee,
Richmond, Virginia.
Ny dear DIR. Chairman:
Il regret exceedingly have not
been able up to this time to fill APP
rointments and speak in Virginia in
connection with the present CAM
paign.
"As you know, the revenue bill,
which fixes the taxes for the United
States for several years to come, and
in which the people Of the state are
deeply interested, has been pending in
the Senate ever since the opening
OF the campaign. We have been vot-
irg on amendments almost daily and
it has been impossible for me TO leave
Washington up to this time. | hope
the legislative situation in the Sen
ate will be such as 70 enable me to
leave here during the closing day. OF
the campaign so | can make some ad-
dresses. It is imperative the Demo-
cratic senators be here now.
~ consider the present campaign
one Of the most important Virginia
has had for many years. The result
Of this campaign will determine for
the next four years which party
Democratic or Republican will con-
troll our State government.
"If the Republican candidates
should be elected at this time it means
the injection Of the negro into politics
in Virginia again. it would mean the
elimination Of all restrictions upon
suffrage which have had the effect
Of disbarring the negro and prevent
ing him from being notential as a
voter in politics III Virginia. The
return Of the negro as a political fac
tor would be . detrimcnt TO the state.
THE plea Of unlimited suffrage
made by the Republican party is an
insidious way OF bringing the negro
back to politics. This is the "cloyen
hoof" in the Republican platform.
President Harding's advocacy OF
nolitical equality shows the ultimate
design Of the Republican party, its
PURPOSES can not be disguised.
THE Democratic party stands for
white supremacy. political and other
wise. The Republican party fa7ors.
as recently proclaimed by its national
leader, President Harding, politica!
equality between the races, which
means if accomplished negro COVER
nors, negro representatives and varied
negro officials. The democracy Is op-
posed to this and stands for white
supremacy. The issue is made and
the people Of Virginia should re-
enoud IN favor Of democracy with an
overwhelming majority.
Using such time as | have mad
at my disposal have been writing
70 all parts Of the State urging the
Democrats to turn out and support
the party on election day. The in
formation ! have received IS encour-
aging, and believe the Democratic
majority will be unusually large.
