C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1935, Y SUPPERRALLY | [Help for Night Waschman Society Founded as Joke Finds Real Work Needs to Be Done. BY JOHN JAY DALY. OME day, maybe, there won't be eny more forgotten men. S Another one has just been dug up out of the darkness of the years. He is the night watchman. ‘The agency which remembers him— it started out as a sort of joke and ended up by being deadly serious— is the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Night Watchmen. The society is composed of former deputy administrators of N. R. A. They are the men who presided at code hearings in the old days before the Supreme Court sent the Blue Eagle to its particular Valhalla. In the aggregate, these hearings brought out a lot about night watchmen; such things as that they worked 12 hours day, for seven days a week, with ot even holidays off. It was further isclosed that employers of night watchmen came pretty close at times to forgetting—if they ever had known it—that night watchmen were human. If one particular hearing more than another stimulated interest in the plight of the night watchman, it was that which produced the following debate between & manufacturer and one of the ex- deputies, now a member of the society: “Don’t you think it about time that something be done about the night watchman?” “In what way? What can be done about night watchmen?” “We're asking you. night watchmen, don't you?" “To my regret, yes! G.srarn ITY AL famous candy | You employ | “What do you mean by your regret?” “I mean—well, & night watchman is a night watchman.” “He's & human being, isn't he?” “Now, that depends—" “Answer yes or no.” “yes” “Very well. The night watchman should then be considered as a work- man. His hours should be shortened.” ““We cannot possibly pare down the hours of the night watchman.” “Why not?” “Well, we have two shifts of watch- men—day and night. The night watch- twelve hours. If we cut that in half, say, it means employing two night watchmen for one. . . .” “Couldn’t you make a three-shift arrangement—a new set of watchmen to go on duty each eight-hour period?"” “We could, but once a night watch- man gets on the job he is usually locked in and it would require—" “What would it require?” RESORTS, ATLANTIC CITY, N.

They learned years and years ago what it takes to make a suit or overcoat hold its shape and smart- ness, how to make collars hug the neck, how to .keep fronts smooth and well balanced, how to apply hand tailoring that is characterful. - There’s no gamble when you decide on a Stein Bloch . . ."you get what you pay for and have a right to $35 wou BUY ON THE EXTENDED PAYMENT PLAN expect, “Some one to let him out, some one iy “You seem to be hedging. You don't seem to be able to hut yourself in the place of the night watchman.” “No. And nobody else can put him- self in the place of a night watchman. I tell you, sir, night watcamen are a peculiar breed . ..” “Just what do you meen by that? Art not night watchmen men like you? Have not night watchman eyes, ears, noses. Do not night watchmen hun- ger, thirst? . . .” “I heard all that once ‘a a Shake- spearean play. We are dealing now with facts. Night watchnien may get hungry, and sometimes: they are thursty—no doubt. The problem here is one of increased overhrard. If we cut down the night watclman’s time, we've got to employ other night watchmen to ake up the slack . ..” “How many men have vou working in your plant?” “How many night watchmen?” “Yes. How many night watchmen.” “One.” Another industralist was even more wrathful when the night watchman subject was brought up in another hearing. “It’s an outrage! don't do anything. Night watchmen Tley just sit %z | around, smoke their pipes, and enjoy themselves—like sentries,’ he shouted. id still another industrial- ist, “night watchmen sit in their chairs and sleep all night long.” “Don’t they have to make the rounds, with a time clock?” he was asked. “They do,” the industrialist ad- mitted, “but only once an hour.” “Well, who wakes 'em up to do that?” “Habit,” the employer explained. “They just become creatures of habit. ‘They get in the habit of waking up on the hour, and punching the clock.” “Suppose they don’t wake up?” “They always do. If they don't wake up, they make the rounds in their sleep. Most night watchmen are sleep walkers.” After that testimony the first meet- ing of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Night Watchmen was| held here in a local hotel. Less than six months in existence, the society has paved the way for many reforms.
