Workers. Health
Must Be
Safeguarded

Women should receive a rate
of pay equal to that of men, in
cluding the entrance rates. Wo-
mems working hours should not
exceed eight a day with a week
of not more than 48 hours. When
materials must be produced un-
der pressure over long period,
such hours have been found to
give the greatest production.
This is to be a long, hard war,
we are told. Then we must safe
guard the health and efficiency
of our workers on the front lines
of industry. This is the way to
win the vitally important battle
of production, to turn out the
necessary tanks, ships, bombers,
to achieve a total victory on land,
on the seass, and in the air. =

Taking up aircraft production,
the report said in part:
THE subcommittee repeatedly
heard rumors and reports OF
slow downs in West Coast air
craft plants, Ometimes blamed
on management and sometimes
on labor. II Investigated these
reports eXhaustively, as well as
the general aircraft production
program, and found these facts:
aircraft production in West
Coast plants now is several
times greater than IL was a
year ago, and Is increasing every
month.

Committee Points Out
Causes for DELAYS

The committee was frank in lis

Two subcommittee composed of
Senators Wallgren of Washington,
Kilgore of West Virginia and Ball

and Las Vegas. New. and execu-
tive conferences in Seattle, Los
Angeles and San Diego.
Six large aircraft plants were
looked over and conferences held
with their executives. Army and
navy installations in Washington
and California were inspected and
four West Coast shipyards were
visited and meetings were held
with their arrangements.
In addition the committee men,

Subcontractors Failed
To Expand Facilities

when the big expansion Of
aircraft plants was undertaken
a year or more ago, no attention
was paid to the necessity of ex-
panding at the same time the
facilities of the thousands of
subcontractors who supply parts
and subassemblies.
"As q result, i'm some vital air.
plane parts, production Is not up
to the capacity of the big as
sembIy plants to absorb them.
These shortages in criti-
cal items have made it i'm
possible TO operate assembly
lines at full capacity.
Rather than work trained
crews at top speed until ma
tcrials are exhausted and then
lay men off for a few days,
with probable foss of morale and
trained mechanics, the aircraft
plants have simply refrained
from turning on full pressure
for peak production, which was
their wisest course.
However, individual work.

The proposal was made that
yards employ members Of the
