FREE LUNCHES INTEREST
WORKERS WHEN WAGE
RATES ARE FROZEN

Washington, d. c. GLNS).-Work-
ers whose jobs and pay checks are
both frozen by government fiat are
looking at factory lunch programs
offered by some corporations as sure
way Of improving their economic
status and beating the cost Of living.
Workers in war plants cannot
change jobs for higher pay, but so far
no order has been issued barring moves
because of bigger and better snacks.
How and what a war worker eats
has a great deal to do with how he
works. Reports on the eating habits
Of Industrial workers indicate that the
wrong kind of diet accounts for a good
part Of absences. Furthermore, it cuts
down the on-thejob efficiency and so
lowers the production rate.
This fact was early recognized in
Great Britain. with the result that all
factories engaged on munitions or on
We're required to provide canteens, if
they employed more than 80 workers.
More than 96 per cent of the larger
British plants and 100 small factories
now have canteens which serve a sub
stantial meal six days week, many
Of them serving breakfast, tea and
snack meals for night workers Ameri-
can plants have been taking up the
idea with good results.
Reports from all parts of the coun-
try show that food rdtiOning is re-
dusing the number of packed lunches;
carried by workers, who more and
more are relying on cafeteria or res
taurant meals. At the same time. the
over-crOWding of restaurants and in
many instances the absence of night
food service outside plants for the
benefit of swing shift workers have in
creased the need to encourage feed
ing Of workers within plants.

WPA Offices Shut
In Thirty States
Agency That Will Expire On
July ! Is Winding Up Its
AffuiYs Over Nation

WashingtOn.-A government agency
which has spent more than ten billion
dollars and at one time passed out
monthly checks to 3,3OO,OOO persons
came to the virtual end Of the trail
last week.
This is the Work Projects Admins
tration, darling of the relief program
in the days when millions were unem-
ployed All Of its work projects in the
continental United States have now
been liquidated and by June u prac-
tically all Of its administrative offices
will be closed. 1t will expire legally on
July !.
Such liquidation as has not been
completed by July l will be taken over
by the Federal Works Agency and
projects which are not finished will
for the most part, be completed by
their local sponsors.
Between July, 1885, and February
1943, the latest date for which figures
are available, WPA spent s1O,111 900.
600. In the Autumn of 1888 it had
3,3O0OOO persons on its rolls. That was
the peak.
In 1899 the agency had an admins
trative staff of $4,000, of whom 800
worked in the central office in Wash
ingtOn, which was housed in three
large buildings
This week the total on the rolls had
dwindled to $1,000 in the whole United
| States. The central office administra
tive staff was down to $50 and EN-
| plOyees were leaving day by day t,
take other government jobs or fint
work in industry.
The administrative employees wht
remain, instead of disbursing millions
of dollars and planning scores of new
projects, are engaged in microfilmine
essential records, transferring property
to the Treasury Procurement Division
closing accounts and generally wind
ing up WPA affairs.

DO YOU KNOW?
BY MARY MOORE


According to spokesman in O.D.T.
the latest figures indicate that at least
10000 women are engaged In the field
Of transportation and it's various
branches of service since the war.
There are openings for women in
every branch Of transportation - air,
rail, motor and even in pipeline trans
pOrtation. The standard training period
has been reduced for many of the
occupations depending on the educa-
ton and experience of the applicant
and her individual capability.
The Division of Transportation Per-
sonnel estimates that an additional
175,OOO, persons will be required in
1913 in all kinds of for-hire transpor-
tatiOn, and considerable number
MUST be women.
Women have done such good job
as Army Signal Corps inspectors that
they now make up 40 per cent of the
inspection force. The entire job is done
by women from the mechanical work
on the assembly line to the final check
up of the complex electrical equipment.
No man qualified for military service
can become an employee of one of
these inspection units. Women form
the nucleus of inspection units in fac
tories throughout the country.

WOMEN

The 2,6OOOOO women who streamed
into war production work in 1912 have
disprOved the old bugaboOs that women
have no mechanical ability and that
they are distracting influence in in
dustry. According to the WOmen's
Bureau, "womens keen eyes, deft
fingers, flexible wrists, capacity for
taking pains and learning quickly are
proving invaluable in the manufacture
of war materials in ever widening
fields"
Women have had to learn that a
work bench must be as neat as cup
board, that flowing hair or even a
bandana can be dangerous; that long
tingernails scratch delicate aluminium
parts. In some shops even wedding
rings must be removed because they
constitute a hazard when worn near
some machinery.
In some government training courses,
women are taught not only the skills
but the rules of conduct of war pro-
duction. Officials of the War PrOduc-
ton Training Section of the Office OF
Education agree that women learn
mechanical jobs as fast as men do, but
women have personal adjustments to
make to the speed and noise in a war
plant.
A secretary or file clerk can wear
anything she wants, but the prOduc.
ton line worker has to consider that
she has a job to do, and while working
must dress for it properly and safely
Uniforms are becoming more widely
used in the newer plants. Frills, how
ever, are out, as are open toed shoes
which are hazard in case anything
heavy is dropped on the foot.
Stacks and a short sleeved blouse is
the approved costume for working
around machinery if a uniform is not
worn. Flowing hair, of course, is taboo
because it is extremely dangerous as
the electrical attraction of moving
machinery may draw free hair into the
works. Even the loose ends of ban
dana may be as hazardous as flowing
hair itself.
Another complaint levelled at women
workers by government investigators
studying the problem of women wal
| workers, is their carelessness in handl
| ing tools, being unaware of their value
as most men are.

Variations of the Shirt-waiSt theme of
the early 19OO's are readily adaptable
