as bumpers, TO keep the mines from
flooding and in several instances
they are known to have been at
tackled by strikers, the latter be-
ing urged on and sometimes led by
their wives.
Communist and Syndicalist at
tempts to stir up outbursts of sabo-
tage have increased since an arbi-
tration award, considered favorable
to the owners, was issued.
In some parts of the Ruhr free
bread is being given to miners
families.

miners wives entered the Konigs-
CRUDE mine and drove off emcrgen-
cv workers.

Maternity Hospitals
Once the ceDters were fully in
operation, it was not long before
the Importance of work on mater
nifty cases was realized. One of the
workers was. perhaps, worried AMI
anxious. A baby was expected and
his wife is far from desirable
state of health. What more natural
than to suggest that one of the staff
doctors visit her? If her condition
was serious, hospital instead of
her home was the proper place for
her. So the centers were enlarged
and provisions made for such cases.
Each one of these centers has ac-
commodations for about twenty
prospective mothers and often up
wards of fifty babies are to be
found making their start Ill life ct
one time in these hospitals.
Last year $50 babies of Endicott-
Johnson workers were born in
these three maternity centers. In
addition, 141 more youngsters came
into the world in their own homes
attended by the company's doctors
and nurses. All told, in the four
years during which the centers
tave been operated some $500 tots
have cried their first cry in them,
with an added 1000 home-born.
Mother Likes Hospital
A small room, bright with sun
shine and white paint, is the setting
N the Johnson City center for the
new arrivals. In nearby rooms are
rhe mothers. One is here for the
first time, proud mother of first
born. Her next-door neighbor has
two other children, both ushered i'll
to the world under this same roof.
To her, the doctors and nurses are
old friends. Il like to come here"
she tells them. When they ask her
why, she answers, well, it's the
only rest get away from household
cares during the whole year. It's
like a vacationi" Months before
her babies are born she comes to
the hospital for consultation. When
she has gone home, visiting nurses
maintain contact with her, help
ing and advising her in the care of
her babies.
Or, if she chooses, she may bring
her children to the center for the
semi-weekly clinic. AS many as
forty-two mothers have visited one
of these centers in a day.
How Work Is Done
The theory on which those in
charge of the centers work is this:
In order that better babies may
be achieved, adequate care must

- All born in one year, too.
I&SSASl il is, 20 be sure, large
family, for it has some
thing like 1900 members. But the
home spirit pervades it as much as
in any household of two. For it
is the Endicott-Johpson family, liv-
ing in Endicctt. West Endicott and
johnson City, New York 1t makes
its living making shoes, but not the
least important of its achievements
lis the raising of babies. There
have been nearly $500 OF them in
the past four years-and more are
being born every day. Better Ba-
bies''-All of them!
Founder Likes Babies
The reason they are Better Ba-
ties" is because of one mans
thought for their welfare. That
man is George F. Johnson, presi-
dent and one of the two founders
Of the shoe factories and tanneries
up children of his own. But in their
growing up he has not lost his in
terest in babies, for to the man who
has known and liked them children
are children, no matter whose they
are.
The organization of which Mr..
johnson is head was started more
than thirty years ago. It's plant is
located n the central part of New
York, half way between Buffalo and
New York City. 1t is the largest
individual shoemaking establish
ment in the world, employing up
ward of 1900 men and women.
For many years the organization
las been known as the Home of
the Square Deal" That is the prin-
ciple which has guided the found
err of the business and those who
have helped to 'carry on" from the
beginning.
Better Bahy Plan Starts
Some five or six years ago, when
the number Of births in the families
Of employees bad reached a large
figure, the first step in the commun-
ity movement for better babies"
was taken. Previous 10 that time
the Endicott-Johnson plants had
lad . general medical center. At
the outset, only one doctor was in
charge, for the original intention
was merely to establish a sort of
FIRST aid" station. But after the
work was begun it developed so
many opportunities for doing good
that the staff was increased ani
fully equipped Offices opened. Here
the workers came not Only for
emergency treatment, but eventu-
ally for any ache and pain to which
the body is heir all without
charge.
Today there are three medical
centers, with a staff Of twenty
seven doctors and about sixty
nurses. Each center has a general
nf6ce, operating on twenty-four
hour basis, for diagnosis and treat
meat The staff includes a general
surgeon, two oculists, two nose and

first be given the mother. She is
encouraged TO come to the center
long before her baby is born. 3There
is nothing compulsory about this,
IN fact there is nothing compulsory
about any phase of the medical work
done at the Endicott-Johnson plants.
The service is thereif the employees
and their families need and want
it. If they prefer their own physi-
clans. they are entirely free to EN-
ploy them. The object to be attain
cd is the health. happiness and
well-being of the Individual. The
method is not important.
When the baby is born. it arrives
under the best of circumstances
With all the aid which modern sur
gery can give. So the centers have
the best hospital equipment which
money can buy The corps OF
nurses and doctors is adequate and
as efficient as may be found in the
best of private hospitals.
Each mother is urged to stay ut
the center for at least two weeks
after her baby's birth. Should
either mother or child need the at.
tention of a nurse after leaving the
center, she goes with her patients
and remains as long ras IS neces-
sary. In the case of the triplets al
ready referred to, special nurse
has been maintained with, them
since their birth, more than a year
ago. -

Then comes the baby, just si1
months old. whose mother receives
an order on a local photographers
for a half dozen pictures of the
young hopeful. An additional pic
ture will eventually find place
with the hundreds of other pictures
of Ell babies that almost cover the
walls of the center. Nurses and
doctors are as proud of these pho
tographs as are the parents.
So the procession passes by; Gil
mothers with one common and vital
interest-Better Babies. They are
encouraged to come not only during
the years OF babyhood but during
the kindergarten and school years,
too, when fingers have way OF
getting cut and ears and teeth are
aching.
Business Inherently Human
What does all this mean? Two
I things. First. that in one small
community of New York State. His
Majesty the Baby is having every
thing done for him that modern SCI
ence in medicine can do. Not just
babies whose parents are rich, but
I'll babies who. live in the commu-
rity. Second, that the doing Of all
this is a modern instance of good
business. For if Baby is strong and
healthy, his mother is not worried
nor his father. The worried
worker is not good worker. The
| unworried one is better invest
ment to his employer.
Half a million dollars is what
our medical work cost last year"
Mr.. Johnson will tell you. "Why
! Md we spend it? Because our busi'.
ness is human. as all good business
is. You can't have it otherwise. If
/ YOU 90. you get into trouble. Our
| business. when it was little, was
human: today. grown to it's present
size, it's still human. We try never
to forget fkat."
