30 TO 48 Hour
Week Best For
Women Workers

Washington, d. C.-Total pro-
duction of women factory workers
cannot be increased by lengthening
scheduled hours much beyond AZ a
week. This is one Of several sig
nificant conclusions reached in a
study made by the Women's Bu-
reau, L. S. Department of Labor.
The report indicates that the best
hours for women factory workers,
under peacetime conditions, for
maximum production would prob
ably fall somewhere between 40
and 48 week. From the stand
point Of good attendance on the
job and of meeting the preference
of women workers hours would be
near 8 day and 40 week.
The study, entitled "Women's
Wartime Hours of Work" was
made to find what scheduled fac
tory hours are best to maintain the
health and efficiency of women
workers over an extended period.
Though tie survey was made in
the war period, when the need for
production was impelling, and
when factories employed many
housewives and other women not
normally in the labor force, many
of the findings have significant
peacetime implications.
The survey covered the per-
Torrance of women workers under
different scheduled hours in 13
plants, and included a total of
3,261 women in selected occupa-
tions involving varying degrees of
skill and of physical and mental
demands. Data used were collected
from personnel, attendance, pro-
illness and accident rec
ords. In addition, a number of the
women from each plant were in
terviewed in their homes to deter
mine the effects of different hour
schedules on their home and per-
sonal life.
Women workers studied had the
best record of attendance under
the $40 hour schedule and the diff
ferent schedules Of 715 to 7 3/5
hours a day and 42h to As hours
week. Of the hour schedules
studied, the 10-hour day and So
to 60-hour week had the highest
per cent of time lost.

Factory Injuries
Decline Due To
Sofefy Measures

Washington, d. CA greater
observance of safety standards
during the fourth quarter of 1916
resulted in decrease in the vol
ume of work injuries in manufac-
turing, despite rising employment,
was shown in a report by the Bu-
reau Of Labor Statistics of the
Labor Department.
The report stated that in this
period there were, on the average,
1872 disabling work injuries for
every million employee hours
worked, as compared with av-
erages of 1871 in the second and
third quarters and 1872 in the first
quarter. 1t added:
at is estimated that approx
mately 24,l00 manufacturing en-
ployees were disabled for one or
more days as a result of work in
juries during the fourth quarter of
1916. About AGO workers died as
a result of these injuries and ap-
proximately $500 others were
known to have developed perma-
nent physical impairments at the
time the reports for the quarter
were prepared. Later information
about the other cases, which were
considered less serious at the time
of reporting, may require that this
estimate of permanent injuries be
revised upward.
Working time lost by the in
jured persons during the quarter
is estimated as about 2,482,0O0
mandays, representing value in
wages alone of nearly $20,C00,0O0.
This, however, represents only a
portion of the total cost which will
accrue from these injuries: 1t. in
cludes no allowance for the eco
nomic losses arising from the
many deaths and permanent i'm
pairments.
"The estimate of 124, 100 dis
abling injuries represents a de-
cline of about 4,700 injuries from
the estimated total for the third
quarter"

NATIONAL FARMERS
UNION SUPPORTS
LIBRARY AID BILL

Washington ID. c. QLNS).-
Russell Smith, National Farmers
Union Legislative secretary, has
reiterated the support Of the or
ganization for the Public Library
Service Demonstration Bill.
Because the Farmers Union is
consistently interested in sponsor
ing legislation designed to help
rural areas" Smith said, 1--WE
earnestly hope that the Public Lii
brary Service Demonstration Bill,
designed to provide demonstrations
of library service in rural areas,
will become a public law"
Talking about rural needs, Smith
said further, "the worst conditions
and the greatest failure to meet
the educational needs of democracy
exist in rural areas. Yet, more
future citizens come proportionate-
ly from these regions than other
parts Of the country. These condi-
tionsl cannot be permitted TO con-
tinue. The ways to remedy them
are clear. Wealthy states and
citizens must contribute from their
wealth TO help assume equal edu-
cational opportunity for every
child. To that end, we urge the
adoption by Congress of the Pub
lie Library Service Demonstration
Bill"
The Library Demonstration Bill
was introduced into the Senate, by
Senators Hill of Alabama and
Aiken of Vermont, and referred to
the Senate Committee on Educa-
tion and Labor. The bill would en-
able the federal government to CO.
operate with the states in demon
strating library service to rural
areas which have never had it, or
where it has been too poor to be
effective.

to affiliation with the WFTU.
The WFTU delegation, headed
by Louis Saillant of France, has
left for Japan.
In his kilograms, the AFL vice
president branded the entire prof.
ect as actively hostile to the high
est ideals and best interests of the
American people and as intensely
detrimental to development of
Japan as a peaceful democracy"
"Under Saillant's leadership

sistently vilified our country's
democratic policies and consistent
ly glorified every imperialist ven

union movement to put it in the
position of hearing only the WFTU
viewpoint without at the same
time having the AFL present its
case against the WFTU. The Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations

but the AFL has refused to join.

housing shortage is sapping the
vitality of our economy and
threatens the health Of the whole
community. Yet, with the cure in
hand, our Congress refrains from
exercising its duty to heal and to
minister to the need Of our cities,
towns and rural areas. Under the
proposed program, the Congress is
not called upon to give direct help
to the communities. 1t would not
vest the government with extraor
dinary powers. 1t would merely be
required to help the communities
help themselves. But even that,
Congress has not chosen to do"
Shishkin pointed out that al
though the bill was approved by
the Senate by an Overwhelming,
non partisan vote" at the last ses-
sion of Congress, the House failed
to act on it, and the bill died. The
measure, also known as the Gen
eral Housing Bill, has been intro
duced again at the present ses-
sion of Congress, and committee
hearings on it are now under way.
Shishkin said that the opposi-
tion to the bill is small, but is well
organized 1t is, he said, "led by
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards with its Realtors
Washington Committee, the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate

Reliance on misrepresentation

Millions Of Americans who deeply
believe in freedom and democratic
self government, who have fought
