The War Department paints a sober, candid and none too flattering |picture of the life of a Viscose iworker. “You work hard for 8 to 10 hours a day,” the pamphlct reads. “You have little time for recreation and little chance for physical devel- opment.When you are sick your pay | stons and vour expenses increase |tary of the Treasury Mellon at-| |tended a special session of the Fed-| eral Reserve Board, but no announce- . {ment was made, members only ask- ling: “What can we do?” The lead- ing bankers of New York held a meeting at the offices of J.
