EVERY WORKDAY
REDUCTION BRINGS
BOSSES OLD CRY

Every reduction in the work day
has caused employers to cry out that
industry is being ruined, says the
United States women's bureau, in a
study on womens hours in industry.
The employers have talked of the
proportionate curtailment of output
which would bankrupt the industry
and in so doing would react to the
injury Of the worker himself.
"There were economists in England
in the nineteenth century who went
even so far as to PROFOUND the theory
that the profits of all industry were
derived entirely from the last hours
work." the report states. While no
one attempts to argue from such ten
ants at present, there are still those
fortunately only minority-who
insist that industry cannot stand the
introduction of the eight-hour day OF
five-and- "a halliday week"
"Monotony of work has increased
with subdivision in industry and the
loss of craftsmanship. It's develop
ment has been more or less newt
able. Scientific study has indicated
that what could be classed as light
work may become, weber continuously
repeated, more damaging physiolog-
icalvl than heavier work which affords
Nv rio
"The noise of machinery is con-
slant accompaniment to the work OF
the factory day, and adds to It's
strain. Constant noise definitely IN
creases the effort of attention, and
thus adds to fatigue.
Speed, complexity, monotony ana
noise seem to be necessarily assoclat-
ed with our modern industrial life.
Since these causes of strain are with
II stostay.e the problem becomes one
of planning hour schedules and other
conditions of work so as to reduce
the amount of fatigue and to allow
more time for renewing strength be-
tween periods of work.
"The worker is not merely a unit
in production-he is an individual IN
society. with many-sided life to
live. The worker needs time not only
for rest and the replacing OF the
energy used during the days work
but he needs time for recreation and
self Improvement as we'll.
"Home responsibilities also often
make heavy demands upon the work
er's time after hours. All these sides
of the hour problem must be con-
sidered by the person who aims to
form an unbiased and sound Judg-
ment on the length of the working
dav best suited to modern needs.
even if home responsibilities are
not heavy, it is not desirabble that
unremitting and monotonous work
should fill all the waking hours OF
an individual. If person is to de-
velop normally, to have sane ana
wholesome outlook on life, he should
have some opportunity for recreation
as we'll as for education and self
improvement"

LOOKS FOR TAX CUT.
Wadsworth Sees Coolidge OH Legis-
lative Program.
~ the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. August 22.-
Tax reduction and reorganization Of
the executive departments were pro-
posed today to President Coolidge by
Senator Wadsworth, Republican, Of
New York as two Of the major prob
lens to be pressed at the next Con
gresS by the administration.
Senator Wadsworth predicted that
tax bill providing reductions in both
the surtax and normal income rates
would be passed before March 15,
when first payments of the new year
are due. He advocated that the ad-
ministration then put through its plan
of rganization, which provides for
a new department OF education and
relief.
. Although some opposition has been
voiced to provisions of the reorgani-
zation bill he was confident 1t could
be passed in much the same form as
proposed to the last Congress. The
chief benefit of such a bill would be
the simplifcation of the Government
work and elimination of duplication.
thus saving, in his opinion, money to
the taxpayers directly and indirectly.
Senator Wadsworth believes the in
come rate could be cut down to a
maximum of % per cent, including a
surtax of 20 per cent with a normal
rate of per cent. He is willing to
go below this figure If Treasury con-
ditions warrant.
AS chairman of the military affairs
committee, Senator Wadsworth pro-
tested against the proposed reduction
in appropriations for the War and
Navy departments, now under con-
sideration by the Budget Bureau.
He declared any cut would impair the
efficiency of the national defense. He
did not discuss this question, however,
with the President. He was optimistic
