Reduced Hours.

The national industrial conference board
mas Just issued some interesting statistics on
the matter of shorter hours. These figures
cover the collective experience of 1876 manu-
featuring establishments employing 373.5s6
workers. In S7.2 per cent of the establish
ments studied a reduction to work week of
~ hours or less was accompanied by a de-
crease in weekly output per worker In 81
per cent of the plants the workers were able
to maintain weekly production per worker
and in IL per cent weekly output per worker
was increased
1t was found, the report says that the
character Of the work. that is. whether the
process was largely Eandwork or machine
work. for the most part determined whether
or not it was possible to increase hourly ont,
put. In those industries such as cotton MANI
featuring, where highly automatic machine
processes predominated, the OUTPUT was linn
tied almost entirely to the speed of the ma
chine. But where haDdwork predominated it
was possible to increase the hourly output of
the workers, in some cases to the extent of
entirely compromising for the loss in work
time and even exceeding the previously weekly
production. The report seems to prove:
[Employes do better and faster work in
short-hour day.
There is need for better and faster
machine processes.

Penny and a Kid.

I The manager of a Davenport moving pic
Iture house the other day issued free tickets
to his theatre to 1000 poor school children.
The government requires payment of war tax
on all tickets Of admission to a theatre. Thus
the management of the theatre was expected

tering for the performance. The manager nat
urally felt that he had gone far enough with

but every child doesn't have one every time
he wants it.

donation OF 1000 pennies, enough to meet the
war tax on every complimentary ticket that
had been distributed among the poor young

that they would not have to worry over the
pennies that the tax had been met on each
ticket and that all woald be admitted to the

Davenport Loses Fight.

st The Socialist municipal administration OF
Davenport has been completely defeated in
its spectacular battle with the Tri-City Rail-
way company. which began when the corpo-
ration announced that in order to save itself
from suspension or bankruptcy it would be
compelled to increase its transportation
charges and eliminate some of its non-produc-
tive lines
n When the company refused to respect the
mandates of the city council officials Of the
corporation were treated to ride in the patrol
wagon and there were other strong arm meth
DDS employed that possibly led sympathizers
with the city administration to believe tina. it
would eventually bring the company around to
observance OF its program. However, the COM
pany proceeded with fare increases until the
people OF Davenport today are paying cents,
the same rate that is charged patrons on the
Illinois side Of the river. The Davenport coun-
ell in the interim arranged for an audit OF the
railway company's accounts and engaged spe-
cial legal talent to aid in the fight against the
corporation. The audit alone cost the city
$4,000 Now the council has been advised
by the committee that has been conducting
- Investigation that the best that can be
done is an Scent fare, one-man cars elimina-
fion Of parallel lines. etc The council is ad-
vised that unless this arrangement is accept
ed the street railway company has stated that
Ats CARS will be run in the barn. it's employees
dismissed and the city left without service
II is predicted that the Davenport council
will adopt the recommendations of its special !
committee.

way company has for years labored under
