PROTECTION OF
WOMEN WORKERS
HELD VITAL FOR
WARTIME LABOR

Charlotte, N. G.. (lLNS) Mamie.
ance of the health and welfare of the
women war workers-the nations
primary labor reservoirs one of to-
days greatest challenges, declared
Mary Anderson, director of the
Womens Bureau, U. S. Department of
Labor, speaking at the North Caro-
lima State Wide Safety Conference
here.
"In the effort to find essential
womanpower, recruitment of new
workers is only the first half of the
story" she said. "The second and
more vital part is conservation of
womanpower protecting the health
and safety of women at work in indus
try promoting their morale and
efficiency preventing industrial
casualties and labor leaks in the form
of absenteeism and quits"
Miss Anderson noted that the
United States now has over Is million
women in all fields of employment =
or almost four and one-quarter mil
lion more than at the April, 1910,
census - and a further increase of
two million is expected by the end of
this year.
Uphold Standards, She Urges
"Women workers are essential" she
said. "And they are dependable when
employed under the right conditions.
We must conserve our womanpower.
We must use our human resources
wisely in this great emergency. This
calls for cooperation of all groups, in
dustry, labor, the community, state
and national levels. Cooperation be-
tween the Federal Government and
local forces is equally imperative"
Americas supply of women work
ers can be safeguarded by strict ad-
herence to approved standards for
employment, she continued, with en-
phasis on hours and wages, safe work
clothing, food facilities, and avoidance
of physical strains such as lifting and
reaching and industrial hazards such
as poisoning.
Don't pay women lower rates than
men on the theory that woman labor
should be cheaper" Miss Anderson
said. ''To keep well and fit women
need fair wages just as men do. To
take care of dependents, women, like
men, require an adequate pay enve-
should be ruled out everywhere and
forever. Wages should be based on
occupation, not on sex. The maximum
8-hour day, 48-hour week, and one day
of rest in 7 are the standards recon-
mended by eight Government agen-
cies, including the War and Navy De-
partments.
Equipment Changes Advised
"An important means of preventing
waste of women's energies is to ad-
just plant equipment in accordance
with their physical makeup. To meet

simple re-tailoring of the equipment
as set up for men is often desirable
and possible 1t has been found that
the average woman can lift 25 pounds
if she doesn't have to do this more
than 10 times an hour She needs to
be told how to lift Another simple
preventive of fatigue is to provide
women with the right kind of seats
and also an opportunity to change
their posture"
The speaker warned against war
work diet of sandwiches and ''coke,"
declaring that scientists have found
that the lack of correct eating habits
had caused workers to lag at ma
chimes, take time off to rest, and break
down on important jobs because of
nervous strain.

today that the next six to nine

that synthetic production was going
according to schedule, but that ia
cilities for producing tires and rayon

Gerard
Reelected

An all-time low, totatl vote cast
in yesterdays special balloting for
the reelection of either Alderman
William G.. Gerard. or Alderman
George Kingston, for place on the
Aldermanic Board, resulted in VIC
tory for Gerard over his fellow
Republican Kingston, by the slen-
der margin of 1856 tallies.
The voting was a result of tie
between the two candidates when
they ran for reelection last Tues
day, November 2, and the special
election was authorized by charter
law.
That interest was at low ebb Is
indicated by the fact that while at
the election last week - itself none
too sprightly - each Of the COM
peting candidates received 1l,558
yesterday a total Of only 1868 votes
were cast. OF these 400 were in
valid. OF the balance Gerard re-
ceived 1926; his opponent, l.
442. Thus Gerard became victor
with room to spare.
Many factors contributed to the
dull activities Of yesterdays civic
event, foremost of which seemed to
be the dull apathy and indifference
on the part of the general public.
and as evidenced on the part OF
Republican voters, IN particular.
The severe morning storm and
the presence of q definite amount
Of confusion as 10 yesterdays poll
teal issue likewise severely handi-
capped the vote polling of both can
didates.
Gerard showed his greatest
strength in districts such as "a

was reported to be 200 to King
ston's 20; district 2-5 around Web
ster school where his vote was III

Jacob L. Devers, commander OF
American forces in the European
theater, said today that "our one OBJ
jective is to get across this narrow
strip of channel water, land on the
continent and do so as quickly as
possible"
Devers, speaking at an Anglo
American press Association lunch
con, made one of the wars most
fortnight official announcements
or the Allied intentions regarding
a second front in western Europe.
I'VE are eager to fight" Devers
said, In observing that was the only
reason for American troops coming
TIC Britain. 1--WE want to get at the
enemy as quickly as possible The
weather and water may slow us up,
but nothing can prevent final VIC
torious battle"
The second front will be opened
Across this narrow strip Of cham
mel water"-at the earliest possible
moment, Devers made plain, adding
that he himself was as impatient OF
delays as anyone else.
Dislikes Delays
IT dislike delays" he said, "but 1t
takes time and careful planning to
transport vast amounts Of equip
ment and to train men to utilize 1t
fully and properly"
Meanwhile he limited at belief
that the European war already Is
moving toward crucial phase, de-
claring that II double very much
whether anyone is going TO stop the
Russians"
A continued Russian advance at
the pace the Red Army has been
maintaining would carry swiftly to
Germany itself, and the consequence
OF still further Soviet gains there
after were manifest.
Nevertheless Devers warned
against over-optimism, and called on
every contributor to the Allied war
effort to maintain unremitting eff
forts.
