In fact, as a class, they underlie large portion of present-day industry, many If not most materials having at some point to undergo continuous operation processes or service.
 -Four chief causes of continuous operation may be distinguished. One group IS made up what may be call~9 heat-process industries, these industries falling into two main subdivisions, the metallurgical and the ceramic. Another group Is male up of chemical industries, though many of the industries in other groups are also to a large extent chemi- cal industries. A third great cause of continuous operation might be termed heavy equipment or elaborate equipment. This cause operated to a greater or less extent Tn the case of almost all the con- tinuous industries. It IS a chief cause of continuous operation.
 ''In most of the continuous industries the number of employees engaged on shift work Is not as large as might be supposed because continuous operation usually comes at a stage where 1t is pos- sible for a few men to handle large tonnage of materials. The extreme ex- ample of this IS in the water supply of New York, where some 300 men on shift work daily pump four or five mil lion gallons of water
 Larger Industries Lead Wdy Nevertheless, there are SO many of these continuous industries, many of them are of such substantial size, that, taken all together, the great steel in dustry probably does not account for more than fourth or fifth of the total of shift workers. Some of the larger industries, outside of steel, are now pre- dominantly on eight-hour shifts; but all except a few of the industries still have some plants on twelve-hour shifts; and in some cases all or a majority of the plants are on twelve-hour shifts.
 Very roughly, the number of shift workers in the United States is prob ably well over 500,0O0, though likely not as large as 100000 And the number of men on twelve-hour shifts, in the period preceding the depression, was perhaps not far from 30O,0O0, of which about as many were outside the steel industry as in the steel industry"

and the judge decides the case. Ii is known as Compulsory labor and anti-strike bill,'
 In Rhode Island the legislature is considering two bills, one compelling trade unions under penalty to incor- porate and the other prohibiting them from ceasing work for any purpose under heavy penalty. The first bill provides that unions can be sued and that the personal and real estate of any member shall be subject to at tachment and execution through ex- ercise of said suit. If the anti-strike bill Is violated the unions and their members can be proceeded against in the courts for damages and whatever property or money is owned by the members can be taken from them. All organizations of labor in the state haye been aroused by this attempt to establish involuntary servitude in Rhode Island.

 with the establishment of a merchant marine naval reserve, all of the impli- cations of which are not clear, though they are sufficiently clear to make 1t cer- tain that a naval reserve in the mer- chant marine service IS to be established especially for strike-breaking.
 CoMscribtS During Strikes
 If any doube were to exist as to
 the reasons for creating the mer-
 chant marine naval reserve, 1t
 would be finally dissipated by the
 discovery that the bill makes no
 provision for any naval training for
 members of the reserve. Since
 there IS no naval training, 1t Is ob-
 vious that the reserve IS not intend
 ed to be of service in the navy at
 any time, hence Is merely intended
 to be of service III the merchant
 marine and to serve as source of
 conscript seamen in time of strike.
 The direct subsidy provision calls for basic rate of 1-2 of l cent per gross ton for each 100 nautical miles travelled and an additional compensation ranging from 2-1O of l cent per ton up to 2-1.1O cents per ton, the amount of subsidy in creasing with the speed of the vessel. 1t has been estimated that for the fast ships the subsidy would amount to be- tween 50 and 30 per cent of the cost of operating the ship.
 Mailed DOaOm f0r 10 Years
 The owner of any vessel, to be en- titled to compensation under the bill shall have entered into contract therefor" and for a period not exceed ing ten years.' It IS apparent that re- gardless of what future administrations may do, the shipping board IS in business for at least ten years and subsidies would be paid i'll accordance with the terms of the bill for at least a similar length of time.
 Il is stipulated that the Board shall not be required to enter into any con- tract" unless "in the judgment of the board, the person desiring to enter into such a contract" shall have ability, ex- perlenCe, resources and character" satls- factory to the board
 In addition to this interesting pro- posal 1t is provided that wherever the shipping board feels that Gin its judg- ment" 1t is desirable and necessary the board may increase the amount of com pensation" to be paid in subsidy up tc twice the amount of compensation pro- vided herein" On the other hand where the board should determine that tllS dIIlOuit O1 COlIlpcIlSdtlOll pIGSCIlDcO herein is excessive" it may reduce the amount prescribed herein" An there i: no limit prescribed as to how far the board may reduce.
 It would seem that under the pro. visions of this bill the shipping board becomes a part of the tax-levying ma chinery of the country. It would ac quire naval and military authority; i would invade the executive, legislative and judicial functions of the govern ] ment; it would become the map ane route-making institutions of the gov ernment; it would supersede i'll certain ! directions the immigration authorities fiscal institution of the government ane wouln be subject to less control ant authority than any other existing agency

This investigation was conducted by the committee on work periods of the American Engineering Council of the Federated American Engineering Socie- ties. The survey was under the direc- tio of Dr. Horace B. Drury, formerly of the faculty of Ohio State University.
 The report in full will not be avail able for perhaps another month, 1t is said, but 1t IS known definitely that the investigation has established as a scien- tihc finding that the efficiency of work CTS IS greater under the eight-hour day than where the twelve-hour day is in force
 The steel industry was not studied in making this survey, but the commission found an astonishing number of work CTS in continuous industries outside the steel mills. Steel mills will be the sub- juct of a later study.
 Investigation 10 Continue
 While the committee plans further engineering study in the steel industry says the report, tits investigations to date have been in industries other than steel. It has been found that the ex- tent of continuous operation industry outside of steel is greater than had been supposed. There are we'll up to forty or fifty industries which involve a great CT or smaller amount of continuous country's plants.
 These industries include many that are technically of greater importance.

ANNUAL INCOME COUNTS.

Toledo, Ohio, March IT, - It is the annual income that counts, said San ford E. Thompson, who told group of factory executives that sasonal employments which keep workers only two-thirds of the year means so per cent. higher labor cost than if the industries run full time.
 A man must live and eat and wear clothes when he is idle, said the speaker, who was a member of the Hoover committee on the elimination of waste

URGES THEATER CLAIMS.

Representative Upshaw Of Georgia
appeared before the House District
committee yesterday in behalf OF the
knickerbocker Theater disaster victims
urging that an appropriation of a-millior
or two million dollars should be au-
thorized for the payment OF damages
to those who had lost members OF
their family in the disaster.
Representative Upshaw made the
contention ou tho charge that agen-
cies of the government had been de-
linquent in safeguarding the lives OF
those who went to such a place. He
said he spoke for a number of those
who had lost dear ones in the Knick
erbocker calamity.
Representative Zihlman Of Maryland
questioned whether the District COM
mittee had jurisdiction in the matter
both on the ground that the District
committee could make no appropria-
tion and that those who thought they
had a claim against the governme nj
ought to present 1t in the regular
way. by arguing each. claim in the
regular way before the committee
on claims.
