8-HOUR DAY GAINS
 AMONG WOMEN
 WORKERS OF STATE
Better Pay and More Regular Elm ployment Are Shown for Those Laboring Least Time in
 Industries.

New York, Dec. 8.-Working con
 ditions among 6o,ooo women engaged
 in five principal industries of the, state
 were discussed in report issued by
 Bernard L. Shientag, state industrial commissioner, following an extended survey of wages and hours in the confectionery, paper box, sh1rt and collar, tobacco and mercantile estab- lishments throughout the state. The
 survey included women and girls over
 10 years of age .a.
 Three reshs were noted by Com
 missioner Shientag: Steady gains for the eight-hour-day in the industries studied, 5o per cent of the women in c1uded in the survey. being empolyed AS hours a week or less; better pay for the women working 48 hours a week or less than for those working
 ment for women in the 4s hour estab- 1ishments than for those in plants with longer working week.
 The eight-hour day for women has made greater headway in the five in- dustries in New York City than in similar establishments in other parts of the state, according to the report In the city 70 per cent. of the estab- lishments are on the eight-hour day SCHtuule as dSdlliSt 3U pti CcHt' De- yond the city line, It leads also in the number of establishments in the five industries that have adopted the A hour week for women, this arrange ment giving the workers Saturday afternoon, The tobacco and the shirt and collar industries take the lead in the matter of the 44-hour week.
 The report asserts further that only 6 ,ooo women of those included in the survey are working 54 hours week, the maximum working week for women under the laws of the state In this respect the report IS in line with the general tendency toward a shorter work day revealed by other investigations, Con1nis ission- CT Shientag declared.
 "The facts disclosed by the survey seems to dispose of the belief pre- valent in some quarters that there can be no reduction in hours of work with out corresponding reduction in earn ing" the commissioner said. "The re- suits indicate that the women working 48 hours or less in the five industries investigated not only receive more than sister workers who put in week from six to eight hours longer, but, in addition, have steadier employment than the latter"

MILL WORKERS
 PROTEST DEMAND
 FOR EXTRA LOOMS
Weavers Asked to Care for 20 In- stead of 16 Machines For
 Steady Time.

Providence, Dec. 8.-A resolution protesting against the alleged practice of textile mills of asking their em- ployes to run larger number of machines than has been customary in mills in Rhode Island and Eastern Connected was passed at meeting of the Rhode Island Textile Council this week, at Pawtucket.
 The resolution alleges that mills have promised weavers steady work provided they would accept an in crease from I6 to 20 looms, and that workers in other departments of the industry have been approached with similar proposals. It further states that this move is inconsistent with the alleged practice of mill interests in seeking to remove. restrictions on i'm migration so as to admit a greater volume of cheap labor.
 A vigorous protest was registered in the resolution against both alleged practices in the question as to where the employers will absorb the unemr ployed already in the country and those coming in if added burdens are put upon those already employed, IS added.
 The meeting was addressed by liar r yEatough a member of the local textile unions, who has been making a study of the textile situation in the South. Reports were received from delegates as to conditions in the mills in different parts of the state.

LOW WAGES DIRECT FACTOR
 IN DEATH RATE OF BABIES,
 CHILDREN'S BUREAU SHOWS
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service
 Baltimore, Md, Dec. Slow wages cause high rate of infant mortality.
 This oft-demonstrated truth is again emphasized by the Children's Bureau of the United States Department o1 Labor, Tn an exhaustive analysis of a study of the infant death rate in Bal tlmore. The report has just been is- sued.
 Highest rates of infant mortality were found in the families where the fathers earnings were lowest and the lowest infant mortality where the fathers earnings were highest, the report declares, in discussing poverty as a direct factor in causing the death of babies. The report says:
 "Evidently there are other un- -or lack of means-a hazard to in fant life apart from the size of the dwelling, the size of the family, the interval between births, and the H. Iiteracy or the gainfu1 employment of the mother Low income may it. self be a factor in infant mortality
 Poor Mothers Handicapped.
 "An important way in which lack of means handicaps mothers in caring for their babies is in the purchase Of competent medical care and supervis- ion and nursing service Such medi- cal care and supervision IS necessary not only during the mothers preg- nancy but also during the infants first year of life. The disadvantages of poverty in this respect, however. are to a certain degree removed by provision of infant-welfare stations and free consultation centers which are open to the poor as we'll as to the well to do. But the highest percent ages of mothers reporting examina-4 ton and instruction by physicians during pregnancy and medical andl trained nursing care at confinement were found in families where the fathers earned at least $I,85o, and the lowest percentages were found in one or another of the earnings groups under $85o.
 "The extent to which the poorest mothers took advantage of free med ical supervision and care is shown by
The Connecticut labor news., 1923-12-08

the fact that the lowest percentages receiving care were in no case found among the families, in which the faith CTS earned the least (under $45o) not solve the problem for the poorer mothers since throughout the study the highest mortality rates were found in this lowest earnings group.
 Lack of means is further handi- cap in an attempt to fortify and maintain health through good food, fresh air, rest, and recreation, as recommended by health authorities. During pregnancy and the nursing period the mother should have plenty off nourishing. food, including gen. erous proportion of fresh fruits and vegetables, and should drink plenty of good milk. But the mother who is constantly striving to make ends meet on meager income may be in order to provide food to maintain the physical efficiency of the bread- winner of the family.
 Can't Care for Own Health
 tShe should have her teeth cared for by a good dentist; but she is probably unable to pay for such care. She should have pleasant exercise ana recreation and spend at least two hours of each day in the open air; she should avoid worry and fatigue; she should sleep at least 8 hours out of the 24 But her day may be filled with worries of making ends meet, and with busy work patching up for the different members of the family that they. may appear at least respectable, preparing meals, ng to do all the housework, it may be physically impossible for her so to arrange her time and work-and the conveniences which tighten the toll and shorten the hours of can not be obtained with put money-that she may carry out -hese excellent recipes for her own health and that of her baby.
 Poverty, therefore, through lack of means to provide the physical es- sentials for health, as we'll as to pro- ,ure medica land nursing assistance when needed, appears to have di- rect influence upon the infant mor- ality rate.
 "It appears, then, that the highest infant mortality was found in the antilles where the fathers earnings were lowest, and the lowest infant mortality where the fathers earnings were highest and in general the rates or the several causes of death de ,reased, with the total rate, as the .ather's earnings rose"

The Connecticut labor news., 1923-12-08

Washington, Dec 8.-There is no pre- sent need nor justification for general reductions in freight rates despite the clamor of American business, the farm CT and the consumer for such reductions. Who says there's not? Why the Ma tional Chamber of Commerce committee appointed to look into freight rates and their relation to the public purse.
 Who is the federal chambers commit tee? As fine bunch of railroad rep resentatives bond holders or otherwise interested as was ever banded together, it's but natural that it would agree there is no need nor justification for freight rate reductions.
