one of the largest attended and most
enthusiastic ndaeangs in the labor
temple Monday night that it has held

HEAVY TAX ON

Loss Through industrial Fa-
tigue" Reaches Enormous
Amount Yearly.
FIGURES GIVEN BY EXPERT
Or. Bernard Newman Shows How HUI
mane Working Conditions viii Be
Of Benefit to Both Employer and
EmpIoyee-Would Test Physical Ca
pacIty.

Every civilized country pays a
heavy price for what is called indus
trial fatigue" This Is defined as "the
sum Of the results of activities which
show themselves In diminished Gu
pacity for doing work" and in case of
industrial fatigue responsibility for its
elimination necessarily rests upon in
dividual establishments. Fatigue
COSTS" 1t is said, may be expressed in
terms of the effect upon health, longev-
ity, safety, labor supply, employment,
stability, industrial contentment, pro
ductive efficiency-on alertness, speed,
accurate work, minimum waste-as
well as output and profits" 1t has
been estimated by recent writer on
this subject that there is a loss be-
cause of fatigue Of 20 cents day each
year for each employee which would
reach the staggering total loss TO the
United States for the 100000 work
ers of about $2,5OO0O0,OO0 a year.
While these figures are estimates,
DR. Bernard Newman, writing in Ma
tional Safety News, considers that
they are logical and show that the
loss is a national one and needs a ma
tionwfde preventive program to COM
bat the condition. He considers that
the following measures are essential
In a program which will result In hu-
name working conditions and mutual
profit to employer and employee:
First there should be q physical
examination Of all applicants for en-
ployment In order that their physical
capacity may be known by the employ
ment director, this examination to be
followed periodically by re-examina-
tion and requirements according to
the health of the worker. This ply
sical examination Is In addition to the
usual training and experience ex-
aminations. Second, there should be
physical examination of the jobs, TO
find Just what mental and muscular
ability is required for maximum eff
f1ciency in output. Third, there should
be physical examination of the plant,
to discover the working conditions
which may injure the health of the
worker. cause unnecessary fatigue and
reduce output"

Ted Smith, business agent of the
L al Machinists' Union, has receiv-
ed word from the international that
it is in receipt of communication
from officials of the Mexican govern
ment that they are planning the pur-
chase N the immediate future of some

modern fire equipment; and that it Is
their intention to purchase all these
supplies from factories fair to organ

such firms. The Mexican officials
further request list of firms fair tc

purchase quantities of farm machin-
cry and implements, we'll drilling ma
chinery, automobiles and tractors, tc
the extent of several millions of dol
lars each year.
Mr.. Smith sent in the names of the
Long & Alistatter Company and the

sidered fair by local organized labor
The Long & Allstatter Company is
considered one of the largest manu-
facturers of farm machinery and i'm.
plements in the country. AS for auto
mobiles and tractors, the Mexican
government needn't go any farther
than the Ford plant, which plant, we
are pleased to say. local labor con

Let us hope that some good may
come of this inquiry and reply ano
that both these local firms receive rec

ELKS' DRIVE
To Reduce Indebtedness
Proving Successful

Hamilton Lodge No. 80, B. P. O.
Elks, is waging a vigorous campaign
to reduce the indebtedness on it's tenn
pie. A novel plan for the purpose
has been adopted by the lodge. Ten
vacation trips to California will be
given away. Each trip is valued at
S400 from Hamilton However, should
some one farther away secure one OF
the trips, transportation is to be fur
nished from the starting point, sc
that some of the trips given away
may cost the local lodge much more
than $400. Tickets are Being sent to
every Elk lodge in the country, and
many requests are coming for dupli-
cation Of the shipment
The campaign is meeting with a
ready response on the part of Hamil-
ton people, and this is very much
appreciated by the members. The
campaign should materially benefit
the lodge.
The Elks are one of the agencies
which co-operated with the govern
ment during the war and their record
entities them to support in any wor-
thy effort.
The Elks were the first to suggest
the reconstruction hospital for dis
abled veterans, and their hospital at
Boston was the only one ready to re-
ceive the first of the returning dis
abled soldiers, sailors and marine of
our fighting forces. In addition they
had two large hospitals in France
completely outftted by them and eff
ficiently operated during the war

TION

Worcester, Mass.-Buildlng crafts
men have rejected proposed 20 per
cent wage reduction, which contracts
ors allege will stimulate building con-
struction. The workers reply that
this reduction would not affect build
ing and that present living costs
make a reduction out of the question.
They suggest that banks loosen up on
their funds ano loan money at lower
interest and for material men to re-
duce prices to reasonable figure.
They state that in numerous instances
war prices prevail, and in some cases
are 800 per cent above normal. The
workers insist that those who can
best afford it should stand the brunt
Of the proposed reduction.

EAGLES MINSTRELS
All Set For Next Wednesday
and Thursday at Jeffer-

These are busy days, or rather
nights, down around the Eagles tenn
ple And all the fuss is caused by
the near approach of the Eagles big
minstrels which will be held on We'd
nesday and Thursday nights of next
week at the jefferson theatre. The
big show is to be held under the aus
pices of the Eagles degree team, and
under the direction of Carl Lehmkuhl.
who as minstrel promoter is fast
coming to the front, and who All G.
Fields and Lou Dockstadder never
had anything on. The music end of
the show is under the direction of that
hard worker, Professor S. B. Shoupe.
That's all that is necessary to say
about this end of it. And just as a
little extra on instruction, "Pop''
Sanks, the old minstrel man from CO.
lumbus, and who will furnish the cos
tunes for the show, is here to see that
things go off in smooth running order.
A combination like this, Carl Lehm-
kuhl, Prof. Shoupe and "Pop" Sanks,
surrounded by the best local talent
possible to secure, is hard to beat
and sure tc make a success of any
thing it attempted We might add
too, that Leo Flynn, the local boy who
is making name for himself in min
strelsy, has consented to come on and
take part in the Eagles big show.
AS singer, dancer and all around
minstrel performer, there aren't many
who have it on Leo.
The show is to have one of the
most elaborate settings ever staged
in Hamilton. The scenery and cos
tunes will be magnificent, the music
the best ever heard, the dances pretty
and snappy, and the jokes will be new
and witty.
One of the big features of the show
will be the dancing of little Miss
Madge Shaper in fancy dancing. She
will feature the Blue Bird and Gypsy
dances.
A big parade, one of the old time
minstrel kind, will be put on the
streets at noon of Wednesday. If you
want to be carried way back to the
boyhood days, be sure and see this
parade.
