Better Illumination Needed.
The eye section of the report
stresses the need for campaigns in
smaller plants. The cost for pro-
viding adequate illumination for the
entire industry Of the country, 1t is
asserted. would amount to !. to 1 per
cent of wages.
The cost per capita of correcting
vision. the report adds, instituting
and carrying out measures of protec-
tion against hazards and bringing
the lighting up to good standards is
definitely greater in the small plant
than in the larger organizations
those employing 1000 workers or
more-and the small plants are in
the large majority. These smaller
plants are, therefore. less ready to
take up any of these measures unless
the early returns of a dividend can
be clearly shown. Reports of more
study. the example of the earlier ones
to take the steps. must be brought
before them constantly so that ef-
| forts to check preventable loss along
these lines may become more nearly
universal, the waste investigators de-
clared.
All should BE Workers.
The report asserts that "a con-
tinual restriction of the term indus
trfa! worker to mechanical factory
labor operates, in our judgment, to
erect an unnecessary and formal bar
rier between capital and labor. 1t
lends support to the notion that fun
damentally different types of human
beings are engaged in these sub
divisions of human activity. 1t is
desirable to recognize that from the
President of the United States to the
laborer in the factory or on the farm
all citizens not physically incapaci
/ tated are. or should be. workers"
The report warns against what 1t
terms real danger" in drawing a too
sweeping conclusion from the evil
dence applied by general death rates
as to the physical advancement of
the race. THE actual physical rec
ords would. in fact. suggest that the
present favorable death rate is due
