1 preventable accidents.
year. And the figures are in
creasing at an alarming rate
due to green labor entering war
production and crowded sites.
Shift-sleeping in slums-poor
food and badly planned diets
crowded towns and shortages of
doctors and hospital accommo-
dations - all of these combine
to undermine the health of the
men and WON en- who keep
Americas war machine hum
ming.
And lurking behind every
machine, waiting for a false
move on the part of inexperi-
enced or careless workers is the
twin enemy: i'll health and in
dustrial accidents.
Approach to this problem as
war production problem will
not be made as a glorified "safe-
ty first" campaign, nor as So
cial uplift crusade. The idea be-
hind the Safety, Health and Hy-
giene Branch is to get at the
fundamental causes of injuries
and illness by making sure that
all war production workers have
proper food, are well sheltered,
and have adequate medical at
tention.
Labor statisticians know that
as a direct result of malnutri-
ton, accidents and occupational
diseases, the United States lost
last year in man hours the
equivalent of one h u n d r e d
planes a month.
From now on, of course, due
to the reduced amount of man.
power available for industry,
requirements will be more and
more difficult to find. Also re-
placements disrupt the steady
output of assembly lines and
make duplication of training
necessary.
WPB officials feel that the fig
ures for the past years are stag
gering enough, but fears that
unless drastic steps are taken to
tackle the problem of man.
hours lost this year on the as
sembly line, losses will be far
higher - possibly over 80 per
cent - due to the cumulative
effect of the bad conditions de-
scribed above.
Mushrooming war industries
which grow far faster than local
towns can expand housing, sew
age, water and nutritional facil-
tiles are responsible for increas-
ed absentees from the arsenals
of democracy and a mounting
labor turnover rate.
In Childersburg, Ala, for ex-
ample, the population was 515
in 1910. Already it has grown to
5000 and is still expanding. Yet
it has only two physicians.
From a population of 90, Val
paraiso, Fla, has grown to a
community of 1000 with the
nearest doctor 20 miles away.
These are only couple of the
examples that are too
prevalent in war production
centers
