WAGES AND
INFANT DEATHS
Official Government Report Re-
veals Close Connection Be-
tween the Two.
BABES DENIED MOTHERS CARE
Mortality Great Where Women Were
Compelled to Work in the Mills to
Exc Out Fathers lncome-Poor
Home Sanitation.

How industrial conditions affect
babys chance of living beyond its first
year Is described In a report on Infant
Mortality In New Bedford" issued by
the childrens bureau of the United
States Department of Labor.
Unskilled and semi-skilled occupa-
lions predominant in the cotton indus
t.y, and at the time the survey was
made wages were low in the Massa-
chusetts city. A low income was ac-
ccmpaned, as In other Industrial cit
les, studied by the bureau, by poor
home sanitation, congestion, lack of
adequate medical care and mother
who was oyerworked, either in the fac
tory or at home.
Over half of the New Bedford babies
lived I'm the river section, where the
worst living conditions in the city were
TO be found. There families of from
10 to IS, including dodgers, were in
many cases crowded together In five
room tenements.
Practically all the mothers working
In the cotton mills of New Bedford
were In families where the father
earned less than the amount necessary
TO maintain a decent standard of liv-
ing. Almost half of all the mothers
were galnfully employed, chiefly in the
cotton mills. during the year before
the baby was born, and two-tifths dur
ing the year following the baby's birth.
Most of these mothers worked during
both periods. The harmful results
of depriving a young baby of its moth
er's care and nursing are shown in
the fact that among the babies whose
mothers left them to go out to work
when the baby was less than four
months old the mortality was nearly
twice the average rate.
The low-income group showed high
mortality rate, while the group having
income sufficient to insure proper care
and surroundings for the mothers and
babies had low mortality rate. In
the low-wage group 20 babies out Of
every hundred born alive died before
the end of the first year. In the high
est wage group only six out of every
| hundred babies died.

Canadian Labor Stirred.

Charges that instigators of the
'"open shop movement In the United
States are extending their campaign
into Canada we're made by Tom Moore,
president of the Canadian Trades and
Labor congress.
Mr.. Moore's statement was in reply
to an address made by n. j. Kennedy,
president of the Builders Employers
association of Detroit, Mich, before
the Ottawa branch of the Canadian
Building Industries association. In
which he said that the United States
"had been run for the past four and a
half years by Samuel Gompers, and
that the last election was mandate
to the government that the people
were tired of being dominated by the
American Federation of Labor"
Labor will not lightly relinquish
what 1t has gained" warned the labor
leader. and 1t will not countenance the
"velled campaign" which he said, was
in progress both In Canada and the
United States to create open shop
conditions.

Time to Adopt Eight. Hour Day.

Employment in the steel and iron
mills decreased Is per cent in Janu-
airy as compared with December, ac-
cording TO figures issued by the gov
eminent 1t was the largest slump in
Jobs registered among thirteen manu-
featuring industries survey. by the bu-
reau of labor statistics.
The reason is obvious of course
the other industries were hit harder
and earlier. But the drop serves, at
any rate, TO emphasize the arguments
for the adoption of the three-shlft day
In steel and iron. writes Arthur NJ.
Evans in the Chicago Tribune. With
the plants operating at the present
gait, the establishment of the eight
hour day in the continuous processes,

10000 or $1,000 more men.

Labor,s Exodus From ohio Farms.

According to a recent survey made
by an agricultural statistician of the
United States bureau of crop esti-
mates and the Ohio bureau of agricul-
tural statistics, there was decrease
Of 10000 men and boys over Is years
of age working on farms in Ohio for
the year ended June, 1920. The sur
vey covered from 100 to 300 farms in
every county of the state. For every
man who came back to farm life dur
ing the year covered, seven left farms
for other work.
1t is estimated from the returns that
at present 100000 men and boys are
actually working ON farms as COM
pared to 100000 year ago and ap-
proximately 100000 three years ago"
Seventy thousand were reported as
having been hired for wages. while a
year ago there were nearly 100000
About one-half, therefore, of those who
abandoned the farm during the twelve
months covered by the survey were
hired men.

German Labor Conditions Bad.

That 10 per cent of the entire pop
ulation of Germany are wholly or
partly without employment was a
semi-ofiicial statement just published.
The figures given show that $4,000
men are receiving unemployment sup
port from the government or munich
palities. The number of members of
families given unemployment support
increased to $4,000. This make close
to one million people whom the tax
payers are supporting.
1t is estimated that there are an
other million unemployed who do not
come within the provisions emitting
them to support. These are not count
ed in the estimated four millions who
are working only part time and need
some assistance.
