LABOR STANDARDS OF WARRING EUROPE Experience Proves That Relaxing of Standards Failed Purpose Washington, Nov. 26.—Labor stan- dards of the warring European coun- tries which were relaxed at the be- ginning of hostilities when mobiliza- tion made necessary the recruiting of women and children for work usually performed by men are being restored in most countries and strengthened in others, according to information com- piled by the children’s burecau of the department of labor and made public. “Experience proved that the relax- ing of standards failed of its purpose,” savs the Teport. “Definite steps were taken by the governments to restore the provisions of the labor law, be- cause they were found to be essential not only to the conservation of the |WHAT BRITISH MONITORS DID TO FLANDERS COAST DEFENCES avallable workers, but to the quantity and quality of their output.” v Increase in the number of women and children workers, the report, has made more wide- spread and serious the effects of re- | laxing employment standards. In| France, Germany and Italy there has been a great increase of home work on gavérnment contracts, “with its cus- | tomary evils of long hours and low wages.” In Russia, school attend- ance has been more irregular than usual because of the work children must do at home and in the flelds. High wages for hoys In unskilled oc- | cupations, thereby drawing them from school, and an increase of young boys in street trades were reported from England. The most general loosening of re- strictions on woman and child labor was found to have been lengthening hours of work, including night work and Sunday work. There has also been a lowering of the age require- ment for children entering industry and women and young children have been emploved in dangerous, injuri- ous or heavy work formerly prohibit- | ed by law, such as in powder plants and coal mines. “The point which stands out un- mistakably from the fareign experi- the report continues, “is the that the labor Peagce are none the eficiency of f output and the th which are ab- the nation’s wel. general general level of heal salutely essential to fare in war time. “In practically ail countri movement for restoring stangara” o reported.

Part-time school attendance of boys and girls now ex- empt from compulsory attendance laws will be required. In England it is recommended that the school-leav- ing age be rafsed to 14 years without exemptions and that all other young people under 18 be enrolled in part- * time classes. France proposes to re. quire part-time attendance of girls under 18 and boys under 20, after they finish the prescribed number of Years of full attendance. There has been no weakening of labor laws affecting women and chil- dren in Canada or New Zealand, and Manitoba has reduced the overtime permitted to women and girls.

Rotterdam, 29.—In so far as Germany {is con- cerned, the German government evi- dently means to do away with the anomaly that the majority of mem- bers of belligerent parliaments have no first-hand knowledge of what real war is. It is sending the members of the Reichstag on visits to the front in parties of eight. Within three months it is expected that every member will have been given the opportunity of making such a trip.
