The department of labor was represented at the.meetings, attended also by labor leaders, em- ployers, and social workers. At these conferences, it w 4, the need was recognized of offsetting ab- normal_conditions produced in indus- try by the war. It was asserted that night work had increased, that “fre- giently unsanitary work rooms have been inflicted upon the workers owing to the ment demand. for floo: nace and that there was a lack of suitable Jodgings.” It was explained that, ai- though wages had besn raised, kind creature comforts and recrea tion have not been provided as 2 sa ty_val In Wicscribing the huts which it i posed to construct at the various var plants, a statement by the com mitiee said “These s centers will contain refreshment and reer: facilitics, but gvmnasiums, baths, motion pictures afnd everything slse required in such centers.
