body than is starvation For the
night worker, the end is frequently
ruined health, and in most cases this
comes far more quickly with the
woman than with the man, not only
because Of her different physical
makeup, but also because her work
does not end when she leaves the fac
tory, including, as it nearly always
does, the manifold household cares
that await her return home.
Incidental information gathered in
surveys made by the bureau in II

more a night and of these nearly a

higher, as might be expected, but low
er in most instances; and ages of
three-fourths of the women studied
ranging between 20 and 40 years.
Native born Americans constituted
three-fourths of these night workers.
Added to the status of these women
was the general thoughtlessness con-
cerning their welfare on the part of
their employers, as shown in lack OF
seats, in shortness or complete abb
sence of lunch periods, and in over
time.
With few exceptions, even the en-
ployer does not benefit, as elaborate
cost accounting Investigations in such
industries as the Southern textile
mills show a slowed rate of produc-
ton by the night shift, poorer grade
of product, and approximately only a
IL per cent reduction in operating
costs.
The strain is of course greatest

Montreal U. L. N. S.)-"Our pol
icy is opposed to strikes wherever
they can be avoided without sacri-
fcing the interests of our members" !"
declared M. J. Keough, president of
the international Molders' Union of
North America, to the twenty-seventh
convention of that body here.
"Our motto is cooperation rather
than fighting the employers" he con-
tinued. "We are cooperating with
the employers in eliminating waste in
the foundries, hoping that by that
means we may be able to reduce the
cost of producing castings and there
by increase the purchasing power Of
those who work at molding and core
making for living"
Mr.. Keough expressed the opinion
that an understanding on collective
bargaining, such as the union had
ers could be arrived at with the ma
chinery and jobbing foundries. That,
he said, would go far to eliminate
strife from the foundry industry.

Government Bureau Shows This
Nation Lags in Protecting Women
From Strain Of Night Employment

Washington, D. C. (I. L. N. 81
The United States differs strikingly
from the practice of the largest part
of the rest of the civilized world in
its lack of laws prohibiting night work
for women according to new bulle-
tin just issued by the womens bureau
of the United States department of
labor. Only in 16 of our states are
there any prohibitory laws and these
in many cases are limited to one or at
most very few occupations, whereas
in SO other countries of Europe and
Asia practically complete prohibition
prevailed at the end of 1927.
The report, written by Mary D.
Hopkins, economist covers the his
tory of night work throughout the
world, showing the growth of infor-
nation concerning it's effects on the
individual and to society, and the leg
islation that followed this knowledge;
medical, social and economic testi-
mony concerning these effects; dis

"Outside of great emergency or alb
solute industrial necessity all night
work should be abolished and more
so for women than for men," says one
medical authority quoted in the report
and his opinion is echoed and re-
echoed by physicians, by life insur-
ance actuaries and by many other sci.

in an address at the opening session
of the Ohio Federation of Labor con-

Mr.. Boyer represented the Interna-

when the Federation of Organized
Trades and Labor Unions of the Unit

Pittsburgh in 1881, changed its name
in this city to the American Fedora

At the convention Mr.. Boyer nomi-
mated Samuel Gompers for president
He was unanimously elected. Mr.
Boyer was nominated for secretary
but withdrew in favor of Peter J. Nc.
Guire, 'the Father of Labor Day"
The veteran printer issued the cal
for the meeting in this city which or
ganized the Ohio Federation Of Labo,
in 1884. He was treasurer of thai
body for five years and was the first
chief organizer Of the Internationa
Typographical Union. He was mem
Der of the Ohio legislature and was
active in the passage of many socia
laws.
Mr.. Boyer maintains his long con

hope will be held here to celebrate tn,

claims of the farmers because the
farmers "made noise" that was
heard far and wide, said John P Frey,
secretary of the metal trades depart
ment, formerly editor of the Molders
Journal
Stressing the need of greater unity
and more concerted action on the part
of labor, Mr.. Frey pointed out that
machinery, ever changing, was elm
mating workers and the value of their
skill in their trades. At the same
time, parallel developments in the
financial control of industries had de-
stroyed the personal relation between
employers and workmen, employers
now being frequently scattered
shareholders who paid executives to
produce dividends and who had No
direct personal interest in the well
fare of the workers who made the
dividends possible.
Touching on the wage question, Mr.
Frey submitted that while the worker
on the American continent was the
highest paid in the world, production
on this continent was greater thar
elsewhere and, taking into considera-
ton the production achieved by him
the American worker was relatively
the poorest paid instead of the best
paid.

SAYS CHAS. MACFARLEND

New York, N. Y.-Generous tri-
butte is paid to the leadership of the
N. A. A. C. P. in beginning the ma
tional fight against lynching, by Mr..
Charles S. MacFarland, general sec
retary of the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America, in an
article published in number of
newspapers recently.
Speaking of the reduction in the
lynching figures, DR.. MacFarland
writes:
"The arousing of public sentiment
against lynching and the consequent
decrease of the practice can be
largely traced to campaign of pub
lie education participated in by So
cial agencies, the white and Negro
newspapers and our organized church
forces of the country. The first or
ganization active in combating the
evil was the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
which more than ten years ago be-
gan a thorough research into the his
tory of the evil, secured the support
of huidreds of prominent citizens in
appeals against mob murder and be-
gan an active campaign for federal
legislation against it. Largely
through the stimulation of that or
ganization, successive bills were in
troduced by Congressman Dyer and
the public discussion of these appeals
was large factor in forcussing pub
lie attention"
